I'm going in London also, can't wait for that. Got Suede, Turin Brakes at the Union Chapel and Neil Young booked already for next year. Many more to come.

 

I also saw Shed Seven on Saturday with The Inspirals supporting. They play every December and they are getting better all the time. *gets coat*

 

 

[cloggypop]

Never liked Shed Seven but that last Inspiral Carpets was boss.

[Stu Monty]

First- RUN DMC/PUBLIC ENEMY - Leicester De Monfort Hall '88

Last- BLACK GRAPE - Leamington Assembly '15

 

next

 

MASSIVE ATTACK- Amsterdam next year - or THE CORAL same capital if I can't make that

Massive Attack have got Young Fathers supporting them apparently. Could be a great gig that one.

[cloggypop]

I saw Young Fathers at the Kazimier when they played festevol a couple of years ago. I only saw them because I went indoors to get a beer as they were playing and they were absolutely stunning. Never heard of them before at all. Great live band.

 

[Shitty Arse]

Motley Crue 1989.

Happy Monday's the other week.

[Lee909]

Got tickets for Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nighsweats next month and Blackberry Smoke for Oct/Nov

[Jose Jones]

Went to the Lemonheads last night for a bit of 90s throwbacking.  It was in a pub with about 200 people.

Evan Dando has got a big grey beard and was drinking whiskey straight from the bottle.  But still sounded really rather good.  No chatting, just played lots of songs all in a row.

[stringvest]

Saw Rickie Lee jones on Fri in the Barbican, just bought some Jacob Collier tickets this morning for a just announced gig in Hackney this month.

[KopOut]

Gerry And The Pacemakers. Liverpool. 1963.

 

Steven Wilson. Auckland. Oct 2016

[Dr Nowt]

First was Pulp in the early to mid-nineties at the Bournemouth International Centre, which has all the acoustics, aesthetics and atmosphere one would imagine of such a venue.

 

Last was Gogol Bordello in Brixton, just before Christmas.

 

Going to see Lankum (again) in Salisbury and then Ray LaMontagne (again) in Dublin, both during May.

 

Tempted to get tickets to see The Waterboys soon-ish at the Bournemouth Pavillion, which is a lovely old venue.

Where was that ? I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen him, he’s always brilliant. I love it when he just break out the acoustic and sings song after song without stopping. As good as it gets.

It was at the Curtin pub in Carlton. On Lygon Street, just opposite Trades Hall.

That was pretty much it, full band, then just him on the acoustic then a bit of band again. Must have got through 30 songs in about 90 minutes, no stopping apart from the occasional “thank you”.

 

Support was from TV Haze, who obviously listened to a lot of Dinosaur Jr growing up, and Spike Fuck, who was a trans lady whose backing band consisted of a brunette lass called Betty who clicked a laptop then danced in the same very languorous, Lynch-ian fashion to every song.

Last was Spiral Stairs in Newcastle, September 2017.  Amazing.

Awesome, hopefully Tom Morgan made an appearance. Love their version of I Ain’t Missing you, he has a great knack of picking tunes to cover. You can find it on YouTube.

 

Seen Dinosaur many times to, J rocking the Gandalf look these days.

[Raymond Duck]

I’m going to see Paul Draper doing the Attack of the Grey Lantern tomorrow in Electric Brixton. Would be great to see Mansun do it but I’ll take it, gigs have been getting brilliant reviews.

[rubble-rouser]

Off to see Elbow tonight. John Grant supporting too.

Yeah it was a different world alright.

Just bought tickets to see Roger Waters in Amsterdam on my birthday.

 

Gonna twin it with a bit of Eurostarring round Holland and Belgium.

Saw him at Wembley a couple of years ago, fucking brilliant gig.  Saw Floyd in Rotterdam in the 90s and spent a couple of days in Amsterdam first, "stocking up" so to speak.  I envy you that one, haven't been to the 'dam in too long.....

[Mook]

I can't believe I missed Al Pacino's Wembley gig.

 

Absolutely gutted here.

[thegreatelephant]

would have seen Weller Friday if not for the cunting weather
