The Co-op Live Arena

What a massive fuck up that place is I'll bet our management had nothing to do with it can't see our chairman accepting this mess.
 
I’m a foc who has booked to watch the Eagles and can’t wait to see one of the biggest bands in the world .

I saw the Eagles back in the 70s and was so disappointed with how lazy and average they were live. I can't imagine how bad they are now.

That video does no more than confirm what I've thought for years... Enjoy the studio albums and if you want to see a live show, go to see a tribute band.

Tribute bands put the hours in to perfect shows, and are increasingly becoming better live than the real thing.

I have always felt that the Eagles were limited to a couple of nice tunes, but not much else.

Very good point about tribute bands. Over the years I've seen a few and generally they have been pretty good (when I saw Livewire the AC/DC covers band, they had both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson singing ,something obviously not physically possible in the 'real world')As you say if a tribute band are shit you're not going to bother going again, whereas several times I've given 'real' bands a 2nd chance.
Much though I loved Blondie when I was growing up, I wasn't over impressed with Debbie Harry's voice when I saw them live and thought a tribute version J saw a while before were much better.
Keeping it 'on thread' I'm off to see The Smashing Pumpkins at the Co-op live next month. It will seem a bit strange in truth being it that area and not going to The Etihad (though I did

Had a bit of a glance at the place whilst walking up to the ground yesterday. Genuinely, if you'd told me it was scheduled to open in a couple of months I'd have believed you. There's still pallets of bricks lying around and planks of wood not fixed in place next to the canal bit. It looks miles off being finished.

Good job we're not playing our six fingered friends from Stoke in the final game of the season.

A 3 hour show being shown on Sky arts at the moment- from LA Forum 2015 ish I think.
Found myself fast forwarding through big chunks tbh, about an hour of it was good.

Edit - having just played that YouTube video, it’s the 2018 show - might go back now and watch again!

Apparently quite a few nostalgia bands mime nowadays, these guys are 80ish and can't sing much anymore.

If I was paying big bucks to see them I'd want to know if they were actually playing "live"
 
It’s the craze now of accusing everyone of either miming or using auto tune on YouTube usually it’s down to people posting crap videos taken on mobiles, with poor transmission.
Love the Eagles music but never realised they were that old must be difficult at that age they must still enjoy performing.
 
I'm at the elbow gig tonight, really hoping there's a Tele somewhere that I can nip to, otherwise it's incoming messages on the phone.
