(almost)

few weeks ago?
dunno.

@ ULu in march.

the first few songs. and the end. just perfection. drove through ghosts + radio protector = best start and end to a gig ever?

back in May. Possibly. I can't remember.

although Redhouse Painters at the Underworld in 1995 brought me close

supporting Fightstar.

I found Ornament/The Last Wrongs pretty overwhelming.

Raz paparazzied me.

I must be dead inside or something.

Michael J Sheehy and the hired mourners- 12 bar I think.

He has a great song about a boxer who does one last fight and is too proud to take a dive. Heartbreaking

I probably would have.

Sounds like some massive homosexual Christian gathering to me

when the arcade fir played 'Haiti' at Reading.

God I'm a pussy.

was when Radiohead played Cardiff in 2003, i can't remember what song, though it might have been where i end and you begin i think

Arcade Fire. The impact of them singing their hearts out that way was very intense. I was there with someone I had just split up with though in pretty horrid circumstances after a 2 year relationship so we both cracked up a little.

like a girl

i'm too butch for that girly shit

Yeah.

I have a vague memory of giving the singer a hug afterwards and then wandering off with him looking confused.

and flaming lips at astoria just before yoshimi came out. both through sheer joyness.

but then I've never cried at a lot of things. Births, marriages, deaths.

think I've ever properly cried at a gig but the last time my eyes got a bit damp was probably when Soco Amaretto Lime at the Brand New gig in September. I remember feeling pretty emotional at various points in the Wrens gig at the Borderline last year too.

was when I saw Morrissey, but it had nothing to do with him, more with me being completely messed up. Still sort of beautiful though... hmmmmm

never will.

because i met carl barat.

NOT A WORD!!!!

Glastonbury 2003.

srsly.

i saw belle and sebastian, when they played sleep the clock around, brought tears to my eyes. special times. i got emotional in an excited way for the shins and sonic youth but not like crying crying.

Sufjan at the Barbican when he played Casimir Pulaski Day. I became an emotional wreck
Before that it was Ryan Adams

just the sting of tears and possibly a wet cheek at Sufjan Stevens a few weeks ago. i suck.

was Futureheads at truck

dirty whirlwind, glasgow a couple of months ago. they opened with it and, somewhat unlike the studio version, built from quiet to an overwhelming intensity by the end

I have had "something in my eye" a few times though.

radiohead at the apollo
and
richard hawley at the barfly

actually thinking about it i do it alot

I was so moved. Not really a 'gig' but fuck, I have never had music move through me quite so emotionally.

TV on the Radio at ULU earlier this year when they played Ambulance. Those lyrics...

rufus wainwright at v festival put a couple of lumps in my throat, and bizarely Lily Allen did too.

umm i think i was on my male period that day

But they did a special version of We Will Rock You (the musical, not the song) for Freddies 60th birthday and right at the end Roger Taylor and Brian May came out and did a couple of songs. Brian May singing "Love Of My Life" set me right off

Other than that....Foo Fighters, Hyde Park, "Tie Your Mother Down"....with again, appearances from Mr May and Taylor

Its basically the pair of them that just sets me off!
