I realised that there are quite a lot of gigs I've been to that have been compartilised in the depths of my memory.

This list is to help me keep up with those memories.

I was 9 when I went to this with my parents and their friends. I remember it being loud (not in a good way) and bright. Thankfully we were at one of those old theatre balconies so just ended up falling asleep on the floor.

Britney Spears, Sugarbabes and Black Eyed Peas

Slayer, Avenged Sevenfold and Iron Maiden.

Arch Enemy / 3 Inches Of Blood / Anathema / Blacksunrise / Echidna / Exodus / Finntroll / Kalashnikov / Marduk / Moonspell / Shadowsphere / We Are The Damned

Out of body experience.

Mastodon, Placebo, The Prodigy, Crystal Castles

Manic Street Preachers

My first real camping festival, and even though the setlist wasn't the best I have seen, the experience was unforgettable.

The freedom I experienced is (what I imagine) as close as I will ever get to understanding what Woodstock must've felt like, but on an miniscule scale (can't imagine much can actually compare to it.

Grinderman

My first time ever travelling outside of Portugal to go and see a gig alone with friends.

Seen at Cartaxo Sessions, very intimate yet chaotic as to be expected. Like many pioneers of avant-guard genres, P-Orridge has become a controversial figure within the subculture for a variety of reasons/ affiliations to be sure however they were relentless to deliver a good performance to the end.
