Rugeley Villa Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I get it that certain songs have to be played, although sometimes I wish they wouldn't. But I hate The predictability of it all. Sabbath used to open with paranoid back in 1970 which is a great song to open with, since then every gig they have done has ended with paranoid. It's as if they only do it for the part time fairweather fans and not the real ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Metallica ticket sold my wife and her mate are still going, but I can't risk it. Sold it to some old geezer from St. Helens. He's made up, so it's all good. Tbf though if I never see Metallica in my lifetime it's not the end of the world. I like them, but I'm not crazy on them.

choffer Posted July 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hacienda classical last Friday at Kew Gardens (could I be any more middle class?). Absolutely rotten sound. I think I was halfway back and I could barely hear it. Outdoor gigs can suck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Booked up to The Melvins in Leeds. Hope they're as good as the last time I saw them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Oasis reformed i'd be annoyed if they never played Don't Look Back in Anger. You need a mix of new and old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix the setlist up and give us a couple of surprises at the end instead of the usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Decided last moment to get tickets for the Skatelites in Newcastle, Monday night. Really fancied seeing Electric Wizard at the same venue tonight, but couldn't get anyone else to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I went to V Festival yesterday after being nagged into it by a mate. What a pile of shite. I went for years and it used to be a decent 'indie' festival, now it's some tweeny bopper pop fest, with more security than punters. Took about an hour to get through more checks than an airport, then once inside it became apparent they'd only bothered to train the dogs to smell weed as there were more class A's on show than an episode of Narcos. So basically, you could get pilled up off your nut, or high as a kite on columbia's finest, as long as you didn't want a joint. Madness (who incidentally were the best thing I saw all day, which should give you an idea of the standard!).

dAVe80 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Saw Stewart Lee in Durham, on Saturday. Absolutely superb. If you get chance to see him on his current 'Content Provider' tour, do so (only if you're a member of the Liberal Metropolitan elite of course).

theboyangel Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Was at the Bournemouth Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds gig last night. first time seeing them live and they didn't disappoint! Brilliantly hypnotic and captivating - playing tracks spanning all their albums. was surprised and how well the material from the skeleton tree transposed into a live performance. For a 60yr old, Cave has still got it! Edited September 25, 2017 by theboyangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 A singer I loved but hasnt played a gig in ten years appears to be playing one over thanksgiving in Baltimore, giving it some considerable thought but the fact that its over thanksgiving is surely going to inflate my costs, let alone finding a flight in the first place.

Do it! If there's a chance of seeing a rare live performance it has to be done - otherwise you'll always think 'what if?' (who by the way?)

Seat68 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 A relatively unknown singer outside of Maryland, Mary Prankster. I loved her a lot in the early 2000's, I talked myself out of her final gig in 2005 and I regretted it massively. I think I need to do this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
