The best gig I’ve ever been to was Chas n Dave in a bar near Camden around 2000. The atmosphere was incredible, and the interaction between musicians and crowd added so much to it.
Two nights ago, I saw the Killers in North London and it was meh. The songs are great, the band is charismatic, and it’s a real performance. But you come away from it feeling like you could just have watched it on a big screen with some friends.
