1. The Specials, 2009, O2 Academy.
2. Nas, 2015, O2 Academy.
3. Radiohead, 2006, Meadowbank Stadium.
4. The Stone Roses, 2012, Heaton Park.
5. The Cribs, 2009, ABC.

 

Was that the gig where they were supported by The Thermals and played 'Be Safe' with Lee Ranaldo on the big screen? It was a belter if it was (narrowly misses out my top five):

In no particular order:

1. Dananananaykroyd,  the Arches, 2007 (it was a Friday night thing they ran called Blitzkrieg Bop and got indie acts to play short sets from about 10 to 3)

2. Ben Folds Five, O2 Academy 2012 (sneaks ahead of the Royal Concert Hall gig with the Scottish Orchestra as I got engaged that night)

3. Frightened Rabbit, Barrowlands, 2016 (unfortunately the last time I saw them, James Graham coming on stage with them was amazing)

4. The Bees, Barrowlands, 2005 (The happiest and most fun gig - just pure joyousness)

5. The Arcade Fire, Barrowlands, 2007 (absolutely bouncing, 'Wake Up' at the end was amazing)
