But you're right, they were bloody awful, even as well oiled as we were. Paul Heaton was rather marvellous though, that rendition of Caravan of Love will live long in the memory.

mjmooney Posted January 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2019 Got friends visiting this weekend, potentially three gigs in three days - two of my favourite local bands on Friday and Saturday, and Israel Nash at the Brudenell on Sunday. I suspect that the Friday one may fall victim, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably have, though not come across it yet but I''m not 10% through the great vinyl cleaning project, so it'll come to light at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not since they played Leeds Cockpit in 1995 (huge price of £7 per ticket!) Dave Grohl was pretty awesome to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Probably not exactly what @bickster had in mind, but I saw him on drums a few years ago for Tenacious D and damn he's good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was bloody incredible, one of the best gigs I've been to in years. Not the best band, not in my top 5, but the sheer energy in the performance and the crowd was immense, unlike anything I've felt in an arena performance. I should have worn earplugs, I can't hear from my right ear. Edited January 31, 2019 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 7, 2019 Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2019 A couple of reports from this week (so far) Pete Wylie on Saturday at the British Music Experience. A rather flat gig and my old mate seems to be a bit of a broken man, the spark has gone and I think his latest album will fall flat. It's a real shame Beak> at Gorilla in Manchester, however, was fantastic. We got there just as the support was starting, He was absolutely bonkers. A French solo artist who essentially plays the drums has synths as a backing track and bashes a guitar with drumsticks as part of his kit which he plays standing up. I've looked for a clip of him on Youtube to no avail, his name is Ure. It's like a cross between Iggy Pop (He does take his top off, he does jump into the audience, he tweaks his nipples and rubs his cock) Ozzy Osbourne (He completely stops playing at one point, jumps into the audience and sings in unintelligible French - a kind of changes moment) DAF and a Post Punk Andrea Belfi. I really think the only word that does justice to this fella in BONKERS. The audience was really unsure at first but had really warmed to him by halfway through his set, by the end they were really appreciative, the longer it went on the more they got it Onto Beak> they were on great form and the banter between the songs really added to the occasion with Geoff Barrow and Billy Fuller riffing off each other, taking the piss out of each other and generally insulting each other, then ganging up on Will Young (not that one). The music was spot on, very tight as their Krauty grooves demand. The band clearly enjoyed themselves and the audience again was really appreciative. After the gig, I got introduced to Marc Riley who then pretended to arrest me for crimes I may have committed against Mark E Smith many years ago (A story not to be aired in a public forum) A top night and I'm getting used to this going to a gig and not drinking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen them 6 times in the last 6 years or so, well worth the cost of the ticket each time. If you get the chance to see them take it as they’re very good live 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Last concert was Enslaved and damn it was good. Missed Mastodon on monday due to being sick but if there's a noisy concert coming up soon I'll be sure to catch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
