I watched Little Angels at Liverpool Royal court years ago. The best live act I have seen so far though has to be Metallica, I've seen them 5 times and they get better every time. Although for sheer entertainment, U2 at Roundhey park in Leeds in 1991 on the Zoo tv tour takes some beating. Slayer were surprisingly dissapointing when I watched them at Donnington Monsters of Rock in 1995.

I've been disappointed with Metallica over the years, seen them a few times and certainly around the early 90's they were getting a bit pedestrian compared to their earlier years. Although the fact their music got worse after Master of Puppets didn't help...!

I saw Slayer in Manchester back in 1987, probably the most brain-hurting concert I ever went to. The sound was very intense, they'd got it just right that night.

Next concerts I've got coming up are the final ever shows by The Mission, 4 nights in London at the end of February when they'll play music from a different album each night. Been my favourite band since the mid-80's, the final night might be a bit of a sad occasion.

The original Robin was somewhere else in Wolverhampton. Venue is actually called the Robin 2. Its on Mount pleasant opposite the nick, just round the corner from the sports centre. Two of the bars are called Woodys bar and Noddys Bar. Only been down here for a couple of years so don't know any of the history of the place.

Its a really good venu and has some great bands on.

I have to say, there are a lot of posters on this site with a fantastic taste in music. I know it's each to his own, but I'm glad to see virtually no boy bands or "manufactured" bands.

Give me heavy metal / Rock anytime. If it's not got drums and geeeetars I don't want to listen to it.

And just to confirm what Mr Partin has already posted, Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd is IMO one of the best songs ever recorded. If anyone has got the PULSE DVD from Earls Court, when they perform it and the enormous glitter ball opens up above the crowd is amazing, right in the middle of a mind blowing guitar solo.
Sorry I've started rambling on, I get quite excited when talking about great music.

Good lad! those not fortunate enough to have seen the Pulse DVD watch this:
