Jason Isbell and the 400 unit Apollo Tuesday

Good show ?

 

[There is a Light]

Straight back from Anfield on Sunday to see Fontaines at Factory International. Looking forward to hearing the new stuff live, it should be a belter. Just need a shock City win to make the day complete. Not too much to ask is it?

Good show ?

I was at this gig, they were excellent, played a lot off Weathervanes which I was expecting but also half of Southeastern amongst others.They managed to make the songs sound even better live.

Good show ?

Absolutely brillian, only the 4th time I’ve seen Jason but definitely the best

First time at the Aviva Factory yesterday. Longest queue I've ever had for a smaller venue. Think it delayed the band coming on as they need to get the backlog in. Then the food and bar areas equally shite. The box room the gig was in was big but one giant sweat box. They obviously know this as they were handing free water out to barricade when there was no band on. Sound and view fine mind.
But yeah, makes me appreciate going back to an O2 venue and I never thought I'd say that ,

On the other hand the hall at the Aviva is great.
Sound quality is superb.
I like their reasonable pricing for drinks too.
Laurie Anderson last week was amazing.
How anyone could prefer the O2 Apollo beggars belief.

Haven't been to the Aviva, so suppose I shouldn't comment.
But, the Apollo is an iconic venue, where we have all seen some brilliant acts and some shite as well.
It's a "rights of passage" legendary Mancunian building, admittedly in a shit area.
Perhaps we don't all want to see artists in a sterilised, soulless "studio" ?
Perhaps the new Co-op already caters for the new style of venues, albeit sitting down ?

Went to Vampire Weekend last night and it was superb. Better than Oasis imo. Great live music and crowd was brilliant.

Enjoy the rain in Heaton Park amongst plastic music fans if you are going to Oasis next summer.

Massive Attack, visually painful as they had a high tempo mk ultra style of images and words. It wasn't for me....I hated it and had to look away the whole gig.had software for 1 song that used faces of the audience front rows which was really cool.

Played lots of 100th window, which I also don't really like. 2nd half of the gig was class where they played better known classics. Great to see them.

2 dc Fontaines gig on Fri sat ....look forward to seeing them again

 

[N1985]

Tickets for The Waterboys next May. Can't wait.

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Alabama 3 at The Ritz this Saturday.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Embrace were superb.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I’ve got a busy few days with gigs to finish the year.

Paul Heaton tomorrow in Dipper town.
Sam Fender on a freebie Saturday at the Co-Op live
Lightning Seeds Tuesday at Parr Hall
Finally McCartney at the Co-op after the Derby.

Been a great year for gigs this year. Best ones for me were James at the co-op live, The Libertines at the Albert Hall, Noel Gallagher at Wigan, Shed Seven in Liverpool and surprisingly the one I enjoyed with my daughter, the amazing Taylor Swift at Anfield :-)

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.
