Mine was U2's Joshua Tree full album tour, which finally made it here in November 2019. Less than a year ago, but when I think about standing about 4 rows back right in front of Adam Clayton in a massive crowd it could be a lifetime ago...
I had to stop and think what the last live act I saw was. Then remembered it was Mary Chapin Carpenter and friends back in January. Very enjoyable evening but more on my mind is that I am not seeing Mr Jason Isbell and the great 400 unit next month as I would have been 🤨
The last show I saw prior to lockdown was Juliana Hatfield at Pappy and Harriet's. The view is pretty atrocious for their indoor shows and I'm not super familiar with her catalogue, but she had a great band with her and she rocked.
The last gig I can remember seeing before the lockdown was Morrissey but that was several years back, and I'm almost sure I'm forgetting someone. Oh, maybe the Decemberists? Although, again, that was actually a few years ago.
For the usual suspects who’ve come over from the other place:
Jesse Malin at the Bully, Oxford back in March. Kind enough to sign a copy of the set list and Sunset Kids. Top bloke.
The last artist I saw before lockdown was Ben Lee.

Mine was Stratford Choral Society the Saturday before lockdown! Should have been Elvis Costello on the Sunday, but he cancelled.
I had to check my diary; turns out my last gig before lockdown was last year! Amanda Palmer at the Union Chapel: pretty intense stuff.
My last gig before lockdown was the fantastic Hot 8 Brass Band.
Love the Hold Steady
Mine was Jesse Malin King Tut's, Glasgow. Just got in under the wire.
That's actually not a bad idea for a thread topic... last gig before lockdown
The last gig I saw before lockdown was Hold Steady in London. Superb gig. Good times.
It is.
Seems to work.
