johnsonp Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Went to see the stone roses in belfast and the were amazing. Met Mani, Reni and John squire before the gig and then met them again at the after show party which happened to be in our hotel bar. It was so very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Saw a gig at Red Rocks (Denver) the other week .. Gotye happened to be the act playing I went mainly for the venue , but TBF he is one talented musician can I just say as venues go it's top notch , open air , beautiful countryside surroundings , you can just see the skyline of Denver out on the horizon , the sound bounces of the rocks (in a good way) and i even saw a wild raccoon on the walk back to the car afterwards ... beer was over priced of course but as with all things American , the beer comes to you via a little man so you don't have to burn any calories walking down and getting it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's classic 1980's brick and colourful metal exterior only hints at the splendour within of a double height atrium with suspended ceiling tiles on a 600mm grid. Outside, on a fine night, you can see the pollution plume from the steel works drift over towards england. The starry starry night only obscured by the raised section of the M4 overhead. Beer is brought to you in a plastic pint pot, but only if you stand at the bar for most of the gig waving the exact money at the teenage braindead spot magnet barkeep. Alabama 3, December. Counting down the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Off to see this... Which is quite pleasing, though, a little worryingly, not the gig I remember agreeing to see. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Next up is Jim Jones Revue, will be the third time of seeing them in the last 12 months, no live act better. I can imagine them being pretty good live, they are one of them bands who wear influences on their sleeve but do it well rather than sounding like an amalgamation of a load of cover bands there is the one track on their album which sounds just like tom waits decent band I wouldn't mind seeing them live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Went to see Billy Bragg last night at Park n Dare, Treorci. A good evening celebrating the songs of Woody Guthrie, all the beautiful vaguely lefty people from miles around were there. A bit different to his usual gig, all seater, lots of chit chat and teas and coffees available. Bit of an odd one coming up this weekend, I'm taking the nipper to see the filming of an episode of 'Miranda'. Which means they have to revise a new date of birth as its a 16 and over thing apparently. Coming up soon, Dr Feelgood, Dexys and Nine Below Zero. Looks like its tour season.

norton65ca Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 film coming out in October: Celebration Day, the movie of the 2007 Led Zeppelin show at the O2 arena in London. As a 49 year old, this is good news. Yeah, I'm an old fart who still listens to The Who, Queen, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Bowie, the Stones etc. We had the best music. Just sayin' ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Primal Scream, 5th October, Maida Vale yay, I wonder if it'll be 'best gig ever scream' or 'car crash abomination scream' that turns up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Just been to see Richard Hawley in Newcastle. The stuff he played off the new album, sounds very good live. Also he must have more guitars than anyone else on earth! Seriously, a different guitar every song! Next up is Spiritualized at The Sage, then Dirty Three at the same venue. Quite fancy Mission of Burma in Leeds, in December too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Friday was Primal Scream and it was fairly awesome. Truly loud in the tiny studio 3 at Maida Vale. Best fun you could have with your clothes on and surprisingly right up there on the old 'best gigs' list. I hadn't held out too many hopes as young Bobbie's voice can be a little, er, intermittent. But the voice held up and the gig was just dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
