Gigs Thread

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Bought tickets to see The Beach Boys next summer. Never seen them; did have tickets for a gig that was cancelled due to Covid. They're doing one UK gig next year at some large country estate hear Reading so a less than 30 minute drive from home on a good run.

They have David Essex and Lulu supporting them! Never seen DE by my wife was a fan once upon a time. Seen Lulu make a cameo appearance or two at tribute gigs in the not too distant past and her voice was still potent.

Just hope the sun shines.

Don’t want to worry you but last time I had tickets to see the Beach Boys it was cancelled as the tide was in.





Ps I’ll get my coat.

Paul Heaton and his very lovely sidekick Rianne Downey were brilliant at Liverpool Arena tonight. Fantastic set and performance.

IDLES tonight at the Apollo were pretty good. Didn't play much off the new album. Clear to see which are the crowd favourites as the crowd were pretty chatty during a couple of the songs. Big love for the lighting design - it was strobe heavy but excellent with how it matched the musicality of the band. Difficult to see the band at times with the amount of haze in the room and key light not being super punchy but it was a great job on lighting

Good band but bellends as people.

How do you mean bud? Politically or personally?

Just been to see Sam Fender at the Co-op live. Not really my cup of tea but he has a fanatical following. Sold two nights there and loads of geordies there so they obviously travel to watch him.

Anyone else at the Travis gig on Friday night at the Albert Hall in town? Not a band I'd previously thought about going to see even though I like some of their songs, but after catching the back end of the set when supporting The Killers at Co-Op Live back in June, I decided to take the plunge and buy the tickets, especially as they were only £37.50 each which is cheap in these days of extortionate ticket prices.

Needless to say, they didn't disappoint. It was a tremendous gig, helped by the venue which is probably my favourite one in town. Fran was funny as fuck in between the songs too. Oh, and it was momentarily paused about a minute or so into the first song. Something was going on in the crowd down below which I thought was a medical emergency. Turns out that it had booted off. Yep, scrapping at a Travis gig - who'd have thought it!
