I also see most ‘gigs’ at the MillStad, and I have to say as a non-fan, that Oasis the other week were incredible; particularly after a 26 year break!
Overall, though, I thought Taylor Swift was incredible in her first Cardiff visit! Her ‘show’ was out of this world!

Oasis were incredible Chris.
I've seen them both perform separately but there's something about Liam and Noel together. Just brilliant.
The performance of "Live Forever" was out of this world.

Serious good, Liam sounded better than ever and the instrumentals were spot on. Noel great on the instrumentals too.
Only paid £600 for the privilege.
Another highlight for me was seeing Kings of Leon before they were famous, £20 in Gloucester in front of about 200 people.
What's the best music gig you've been to?

Queued overnight in the freezing cold to get tickets for that Genesis concert at Sophia Gardens in 1980.
Tickets cost £3.50 and that's what you paid - none of this "dynamic pricing" bollocks or waiting ten hours online to be told that you were number three million in the queue when Ticketmaster and Viagogo had already bought all the tickets and were selling them for a massive mark up.
Queued again for hours on the day of the gig to get down the front as soon as the doors opened and loved every minute of it.
Followed the band after the concert to the Post House in Pentwyn where they were staying and got their autographs!
Peter Gabriel had played Sophia Gardens about three weeks earlier on the tour promoting his third album and was also superb.
Happy days!

An amazing day with the creme de la creme of Heavy Metal playing their stuff. Steven Tyler singing Zepplin's 'Whole Lotta Love' was unforgettable. The guy's a legend! Ozzy rules tho
