I've got a couple of options for this:
the first 'proper' gig I ever went to - Massive Attack at the MEN
the first time I saw the Manics, again at the MEN
or the most recent time I saw the Manics (DMH)
However, given what I'm listening to at the minute, (thank you![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kindoftrouble) I've got to go with seeing Franz Ferdinand at DMH.

But I think it was a mixture of it being unexpected (I thought I'd missed out on tickets until the day before) and the band being not only spot on, but doing more than just play the songs off the album. They're definitely one of those bands that have 'live' versions of song. They had such a stage prescence and I was with friends and the crowd were all excited to see them and it was such a good atmosphere.
I really loved the guy behind me who was taking his younger brother to his first gig and was so protective of him, taking every mosh pit him. Some idiots further back tried to create a squish and I got pushed back by the people in front, and accidentally knocked into little brother - despite previously mentioned protectiveness, he more than accepted my apology and apologised for being slammed into me later on. That second part actually went for everyone else as well. Like I said, it was an awesome atmosphere.
Also, and this counts, 5 rows from the front when Alex Kyprianos sang 'Poison Darts of Pleasure'. Just 'ohwowmigosh!'
