Gigs Thread

[OB1]

Saw Alice Cooper in Birmingham on Wednesday night (supported by Primal Scream). Alice still delivers despite being in his 70’s. His very well drilled band are much younger.

Despite his last two albums being very good, he only played on song from them and just delivered “hit” after “hit”.

Hadn’t seen him for a few years but his Halloween visits to the UK are a fun tradition.

Just been to see Peter Hook and The Light at the Parr Hall. Did 15 New Order songs to start and then 15 Joy Division. 2 hr 15 mins on stage. Not bad at 68! Absolutely smashed the Joy Division set. New Order have always been a bit so so for me so that bit wasn’t as good but still some crackers in amongst them.

Went to see them at Rock City Nottingham last night, brilliant gig at one of my favourite venues.

I doubt many on here will have heard of him but I saw David Wilcox last night at a small theatre. Sat on the front row which was basically the stage. The man is 75 and can still play and sing like he did in the 80’s.

He is good value for money. £36 for 30 songs. Would you agree that he nails the Joy Division set? Flew by that one.

What a chameleon-like band Primal Scream are. Surprised to read of them and Cooper on a bill together! Maybe they played a set emphasising their rock side rather than their club/dance electronic stuff.

Glad you enjoyed AC anyway.

Keane and The Lathums at the Co-op Live tonight.
Both bands superb, sound great, but I'm still not a fan of arena gigs.
Was like watching the gig from space!

Wunderhorse and a rather decent Aussie band called HighSchool at the Academy, superb

Yes in fairness, I preferred they Joy Division set, although we missed the first 3 songs of the New Order set, because we were told by security that stage time was 7.30 so we went for another pint, got in at quarter past and they had been on for 15 minutes.

Never heard of him
