Both the ground and the crowd at the City Of Manchester Stadium impressed me more than any others. Milton Keynes is a close 2nd, but the twats that work as stewards let it down (as the Ricohs did for me this year too)

Hmm, that's a tough one. I would have 2 say that 2 shows definately stand out. The 1st was the 1st time I ever saw them, it was in Wembly in 95', (the show they recorded on the video). The 2nd, although not the band was on jon's destination anywhere solo tour. It was in boston in a theatre no bigger then 500 people. Really changed how I viewed him as a performer.

The o2 was brilliant for sound, facilities and ease of getting back into London. For outdoor venues id say Croke Park or City of Manc Stadium. However after seeing the new Wemble for football, I cant wait to see a gig there. Im gonna hold out for Bon Jovi.

As for intimate venues id go for Brixton academy..

Only been to Twickenham but I think it was a good size for the gig. It was in the middle of nowhere though!

The second CD:UK show at some ITV studios, where a maximum of 200 of us saw them play several songs.

Wembley always feels special, and SBE.

Sorry it was one wasn't it

I think I have to say Olympiastadion in Munich. Really cool stadium, and a great show 2006.

For me it would have to be Milton Keynes. I prefer open air to stadiums, and Hyde Park was just a little too big. Wembley Arena was pretty cool, but I was literally right at the back, and the show was only nine songs long, so can't really count that ... although I think it'd be cool to see them properly in an arena
why was it only 9 songs long/
