The Greatest Gigs Ever??

MSN had an article on their front page today...the twelve greatest gigs ever, which were as follows:-

1. The Doors – The Roundhouse 1968
2. Bob Dylan – Manchester Free Trade Hall 1966
3. Jimi Hendrix – Wodstock 1969
4. Bob Marley – Lyceum 1975
5. Muse – Wembley 2007
6. Nirvana – Reading 1992
7. Orbital – Glastonbury 1994
8. Sex Pistols – Manchester Free Trade Hall 1976
9. Queen – Live Aid 1985
10. Radiohead – Glastonbury 1997
11. The Stone Roses – Brixton Academy 1995
12. Led Zepplin – Madison Square Garden 1973


A huge British bias here unfortunately. And were Muse really that good at Wembley last year? Must admit, I don't really know any of their stuff.

From a Prince point of view, trying to nail down his best ever gig is tough. I could name a few from last summer O2 stand but for sentimental reasons having actually been there in person But I'd have to plump for:-

- Prince - Super Bowl XLI Dolphin Stadium 2007

The perfect set, the rain soaked atmosphere, the gig that finally got Prince back into mainstream popularity (possibly). I'd also have to aid:-

- Bruce Springsteen - Hammersmith Odeon 1975
- Pink Floyd - Live 8 2005

I think they ought to substitute "greatest" with "most famous"
This is not an exit
