Gigs Thread

[Barcon]

Did you feel honoured to be in the presence of the "greatest backing singers in the world", the "best drummer in the world", the "greatest ever guitarist", AND the "the world's best singer"?

They're from Leeds mate, not liverpool.

Hackett tonight at the Philharmonic

 

[Platt Lane 59]

The Halle at the Bridgewater Hall tomorrow, Dvorak’s glorious cello concerto and a bit of Brahms.

No Liszt ?

Saw Eivor at The Academy 2 on Friday, something a bit different than normal.

What is it with people at the bar talking very loudly throughout a gig? So disrespectful. Much better when loads of the crowd told them to STFU. Proper winds me up.

Unfortunately it’s the look at me generation. I’m at a gig even though I’m not going to watch it. I try and avoid venues with bars on the side like The Ritz or Albert Hall or at least get there early. Winds me right up.

Are Catfish and the Bottlemen a big band? Noticed they are playing White Hart Lane and Heaton Park next year. Dont think I know one song by them.

Over 1 billion plays on Spotify, so pretty big. I think they were popular with a youngish crowd. Probably few of their fans were alive in 1988, never mind being at the Millwall game.

Great evening at the Royal Albert Hall last night watching this gentleman.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Off to see Peter Hook and the Light at the Parr Hall on Thursday. 15 New Order 15 Joy Division. He was good the last time I saw him but it was a few years back.

 

[big gaz]

Steve Hackett in York last night was mint, with a little Lamb ;-)

 

[roman totale]

Saw Kishi Bashi here on Monday night. Always a great show. He’s an insane talent and it blows my mind that he remains virtually unknown. I saw he’s playing at the Academy on Oxford Road next month. I thoroughly recommend seeing him.

Bill Ryder Jones at the Barbican in London tonight - great gig

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

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.

 

[No One Understands]

Seeing them in Boston (not the one in Lincolnshire) 2 weeks on Saturday.

James and Johnny Marr at the same venue next Thursday

Caught the Johnny Marr with James gig in Brooklyn couple of weeks ago. Didn't really care for the crowd.
Having never seen marr on his own before, it was a bit interesting. Can easily see why he and Morrissey don't get along. Thought James would be the headliner, but all those wankers from Brooklyn were there for Marr.

Im a fan, seen them a couple of times and good live...but i too was surprised at the size of some of the gigs theyre playing

The Balcony, their first album is great

 

[Stelea]

Saw The Icicle Works in Farsley on Tuesday.
Ian McNabb and Chris Layhe both did an acoustic set and then the pair of them together for The Icicle Works.

Just caught billy bragg in Connecticut. 2 hours. and 10 minutes. Really enjoyed that.

I would have slit my wrists after 5 minutes of that cunts dulcet tones

I’ve seen them headline an arena. They were decent. Went because my daughters wanted to see them.
