Re: Best Gigs you attended 2013
After a slow start, 2013 turned out to be a great year of live music for me. Here's my favourite shows (no order):
Joe Bonamassa - Shepherds Bush Empire (my favourite of the 3 shows I attended)
Joe and Beth Hart - Hampton Court (a magical evening)
Tedeschi Truck Band - Albert Hall (amazingly good show)
Royal Southern Brotherhood - Under The Bridge and RAH (I love this band)
Gov't Mule - Under The Bridge (it's Mule - brilliant)
Grace Potter - Bush Hall (wow, just wow - and I mean everything; Grace, the band and the music)
JJ Grey & Mofro - The Garage (super hot evening - both the temperature and the music)
Trombone Shorty - Koko (high energy funk/rock/jazz - huge fun)
Virgil and the Accelerators - O2 Islington (the lads just keep getting better and better - can't wait to hear the new album)

John Mayer - O2
The Hoax - Putney & Borderline
Gravesend Bluesfest - Larry Miller/The Mentulls & others

Re: Best Gigs you attended 2013
I’ve seen around 300+ concert performances in 2013, by about 150 different bands. For many of these I was up close and personal, in the photo pit or at the side of the stage. It’s impossible to pick all my favourite shows, but some standout performances include:-
Thunder – both Christmas shows in Wolverhampton
Thunder – Club Citta, Tokyo
Rush – MEN
The Quireboys – Planet Rockstock, Gt Yarmouth
Tax The Heat – Planet Rockstock, Gt Yarmouth
The Union – Derby (recorded for live DVD)
Tracer – Bristol Tunnels
Eclipse – MelodicRockFest, Chicago
Joe Bonamassa – Royal Albert Hall, London
Camel – Barbican, London
All of these were fabulous performances by bands at the top of their game. However, the biggest spine tingling moment at a concert this year came before a note had even been played. It was when Andy Latimer of Camel stepped on stage and got a ten minute standing ovation from everybody in the venue. Just a few years ago he was seriously ill with a potentially fatal progressive blood disorder, so to see him back and performing was amazing.
