Would also love to see Coldplay and Flo again - especially Coldplay since their MX stadium tours have been looking awesome! ;D

I did this list with everbody at work not long ago. It took a lot of memory power and I bet the lists aren't the same but I'll give it a go and will add to it Monday. Probably some ones you cats don't know  Live x 12 (Ed on his own once) U2 x 2 Powderfinger x 2 Matchbox Twenty INXS John Butler x 2 Robbie Williams Foo Fighters Bon Jovi Pink The Eagles AC/DC 30 Seconds to Mars Cold Chisel Train Everclear Stabbing Westward Alanis Morisette Hunters and Collectors Incubus Eskimo Joe Epicure Sugar Ray Mighty Mighty Bosstones The Living End The Whitlams Duran Duran Spiderbait 1927 Kayne (was U2's support. Was fricking terrible) Jamiroquai Screaming Jets Jet Wolfmother Evermore Any of the first 10 or so i'd see again in a heartbeat. I want to see Madonna but its not going to happen clearly. Keen to see Matchbox 20, INXS (though it's not the same of course), Goo Goo Dolls, The Presets (their set in a massive storm at Sound Relief remains one of the coolest things I have ever seen), Keith Urban and Lifehouse because I just love a couple of their songs (though they would likely bang on about god and I'd hate it). I'm sure there are more I'd go to if they were suggested to me Edit: got a few more off the list I had at work. Can't believe I left out Jet  |

I love that what we have on our list are not on each others! We have such different taste in music. |

I've seen a few, been to two big festivals which were all day and had a lot of bands there. One of those festivals I didn't see all the bands there though, too many stages! I'm not including the support acts unless they were either biggish names back then, bands i wanted to see anyway, or became big names afterwards. Silverchair (4 times) Powderfinger (2 times) Bon Jovi (2 times, 1 of those was at a festival) Foo Fighters Tenacious D Spiderbait Grinspoon Marilyn Manson Hole Korn The Living End Jebediah TISM Regurgitator Fat Boy Slim Pink Shaggy Natalie Imbruglia Kelly Osbourne Sugababes - and about 10 other dance groups I can't remember the names of, I went to the Rumba festival solely for Bon Jovi and Pink so put up with a day of pretty crappy music I remember one of the guys from that Five band performed on his own too. Er... I think that is it but I've probably missed some. |

I was disappointed in it. I find that they are sounding way to pop now.  |

They have always been pop I always laugh when i see they are classified as rock. Have since 1997 when i first heard Push. |

Went to Keane on Sunday with Spector on Thursday night. Keane was great. Crowd was a little bit mellow and the place they performed in really effected the mood but I really did enjoyed the performance. Was really surprise at how many kids there were at the concert though. Totally love the boy and his father in front of me. It was adorable how they were both singing along to all the songs and hugging each other in glee whenever Keane played one of their favourite songs. My hope is that one day, my kid and I would be able to go to a concert together like this. ;D  Spector concert was a last minute thing. They are a relatively new band to me so I wasn't all that keen on going to the gig on my own. But my friend told me he was going on Monday and I decided to tag along. Though Spector was great live - frontman Fred is sooo cool - was thoroughly disappointed at how short the set was - don't think they played for more than 30mins!! I understand that they are a new band and have only one record out but still! 30 minutes?! Very disappointed.  No more concerts till Jan, which I'm sure my wallet is happy about. Got Two Door Cinema and maybe Laneway Festival (depending on the lineup) then. |

Never heard of them... What sort of music we talking Liz??
Setlists I've seen bode well for tomorrow night. Looks like they always do Push. Should be safe for my song! The INXS setlist is excellent too. Will be interesting to see how this Irish dude does at the new lead.

I think I would describe them as folk? They have music on the Hunger Games soundtrack, too. Check out 20 Years, Barton Hollow.

Edited my list. Last night was so good!!! ;D Rob is wicked. Great leading man with great stage presence who works the crowd damn well. His voice never falters either even after two hours.  him. They played all my favourites. Had to wait till the very last song for my Push but it was worth it. Will see them again one day!! INXS were brilliant too. Their new lead, some Irish dude named Ciaran, is bloody good. His version of Beautiful Girl topped Michael. Who though that was possible! They did my beloved Never Tear us Apart. Kirk's sax solo was in the crowd right behind Beck and I. It was very cool I should have shot more videos on my phone because they are crystal clear and perfect sound wise! |
