cyrusr Posted December 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2020 1 hour ago, chrisp65 said: I was tempted by a gig in Cardiff next March... and then I read the small print. All tickets admit two people, those two will be socially distanced from all others, you must remain seated during the gig, no singing. It’s Alabama 3, that’s close to broken my heart that has, no singing or dancing at an A3 gig, no mixing with other people. That’s all kinda the point of it, dancing with the Hells Angels and random housewives. Thanks, I’ll buy a CD and save myself £50. Was actually just looking at gigs and noticed this as well with a few venues. Not keen on the idea of having to buy 2 tickets regardless of whether you are going on your own or not. That being said, just noticed Primordial are playing Birmingham in April. Not seen them live since being exceptionally drunk in a field in Belgium about 10 years ago... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted December 15, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2020 When normality returns, I hope these guys come to the UK and do some dates. I have lots of their albums including some quite valuable early stuff but I've never managed to catch them live Now I've watched this, they've gone up the list from yes I want to see them to yes, I'll even take the neccessary time off work and travel Edit: watched this all the way through and it really made me realise how much I miss going to gigs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough was watching ACDC live at the River Plate the other night and got the same kind of sinking feeling, unthinkable those numbers all in one place at once now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 18, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2020 Three songs from the legendary album Seventeen Seconds as played by Bob in his basement. He clearly dressed for the occasion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 A couple of questions none of which currently impact me, interested more than anything. Lets say I bought a ticket for a gig/festival from a person on Facebook. That event was then cancelled, I am right in thinking I have no claim to a refund? Similarly, would covid hasten the death of ticket resellers due to the lack of protection for the punter following cancelled events, or is that not how companies like viagogo work?

Rugeley Villa Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Took a plunge and ordered Alanis Morrisette tickets . It’s in October so hoping it goes ahead, which I think it may . Her Jagged Little Pill album was really good . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The missus bought us tickets to see James and the Happy Mondays for November, with a night in a hotel. I’ve never been a huge fan of gigs in the past much preferring DJs and dance music, I can’t get my head around the whole seated arena thing. Music should be about jumping around and having fun for me, but I do like James and have seen them a few times before. Before you ask, I won’t be sitting down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just now, Rugeley Villa said: You’ll probably end up with The Mondays back at your hotel smoking crack and popping pills That would be quite alright, just one more sesh for nostalgic purposes.

I liked the story of them being sent to Jamaica to clean themselves up whilst recording a new album. Not the brightest idea by the record company. They came back crack heads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mondays would find a dealer on the moon, either that or start snorting moon dust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
