I thought that since it's nearly the end of 2005 I'd ask people which were their favourite gigs of the year (Louis XIV is an exception of course). It's always interesting to see what people have been to watch

ooooooh for me it was Iggy and the stooges fun house gig in hammersmith, it was amazing and featured a stage invasion which i sadly didn't join in with, as i was wearing huge platform boots and a skintight pencil skirt and would have done myself a serious damage, still it was a once in a lifetime gig and il never forget it.

Gosh, I have to think back to January / February.... Neko Case with the Sadies was a sweet gig. Short, but quality above quantity. The entire weekend I first saw Louis XIV--On Friday I saw them with HHH and the Futureheads, then on Sunday I went to The Arcade Fire. That was an amazing weekend. The Blue Van at Mercury Lounge was really tight. That was also amazing. Athlete in September. Also incredible. And I can already tell that iron and Wine and Calexico this Thursday will probably be the concert of the year. I'll have more on that at the end of the week.

very good people, a varied and eclectic variety of bands
hats off to kinky for gigging it in high heels and a skirt, so brave!
i have another good one...what would be your perfect gig, support and main act, from anyone ever dead or alive?
i think mine would be syd barrett and nick drake to kick things off then the beatles circa 1968 to finish

I got that one. The Kinks at Sala Rossa here in Montreal. Opening would be Louis XIV. The Kinks would actually perform 2 sets. The first one would be their entire Village Green album. The second would be dedicated a mix of hits and album cuts. They'd also perform Chuck Berry's Maybellene and maybe a David Bowie cover. Louis XIV would join them during the encore to perform "Victoria" and "All Day and All the Night."

Oh...The Kinks.
The more I think about it, the more bands I think of, like The Who, Pink Floyd (during the Barrett era), The Rolling Stones (when they were firm lol)...the list could go on!

Hmmm..interesting. I keep thinking I should really make the effort to investigate into Nick Cave but I never get round it. The only song of his I know is the one he did with Kylie...'Wild Rose' or something
