The nominees

Morrissey at G-Mex

What we said: "Old Stephen Patrick is a master of grandiose performances and, following the crashing crescendo of his introductory pianos and the nodding wink of a quick 'well, you look friendly', he plunged straight into Panic, lifting the roof in the process."

Nick Cave at the Bridgewater Hall

What we said: "Nick Cave has always been like the midnight sea; deep, black and ready to pull you under at any point, but surely he鈥檚 never made it plainer to see than from behind the grand piano in the looming darkness of the Bridgewater auditorium."

Sigur Ros at the Apollo

What we said: "To fill your music with such majesty and bombast, translate it live on such a huge, cinematic scale, and not appear pompous is a truly unique thing. And Sigur R贸s are a truly unique band."

Take That at the City of Manchester Stadium

What we said: "Normally superlatives aren鈥檛 a good thing; maybe, but with demi-gods Mark, Gary, Jason and Howard so firmly embedded in our hearts, minds and record collections, failure鈥檚 not a option, so, dare I say it, this was one of the best gigs I鈥檝e ever seen."

Tenacious D at the Arena

What we said: "Jack Black is unbelievable and is absolutely hilarious, the masses laughing and rocking in equal proportions all the way through. Whether or not the records are up to scratch doesn鈥檛 really matter. Live, Tenacious D are the best band I have ever seen."
