Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Queen at Live Aid, Wembley 1985
Freddie Mercury commanded 72,000 people and a global audience of nearly 2 billion. Widely voted the greatest live performance of all time.
B
Oasis at Knebworth 1996
125,000 fans a night and over 2.5 million ticket applications made this the high-water mark of Cool Britannia. A cultural moment as much as a concert.
C
David Bowie retires Ziggy at Hammersmith 1973
Bowie shocked his own band by announcing it was the last show they'd ever do. A piece of theatre that ended an era and began another.
D
The Beatles on the Apple rooftop 1969
42 minutes on a Savile Row roof before the police shut it down. The last time the Fab Four ever played live together.
E
Amy Winehouse at the Mercury Prize 2007
A spine-tingling performance of Love Is a Losing Game that reminded everyone why she mattered. A bittersweet snapshot of a generational voice.
