The best gig you've ever been to:
The Prayer Chain, August 1993, Flevo Festival, Holland. I can't recall how an unknown band managed to raise the roof of that little tent, but I'll never forget it. Delirious, February 1996, St.George's Church, Leeds. That three-quarters of an hour set changed my life. POD, December 1999, Christmas Rock Night, Ennepetal. The loudest and most aggressive worship time I've ever experienced. When my life was spared that night I knew God had plans for me.
