Gigs Thread

Interpol the night were quality. Absolutely burst after a weekend celebrating my 40th but well worth it, must be one of the coolest bands on the planet. Bought Antics album they played the night with money from my first part time job many moons ago so brilliant seeing it live. Plus they ended up playing stuff like PDA and New York Kiss after the encore.

 

I managed to get tickets to see Ghost next April. Can't wait. I'm alos going to see the mighty Iron Maiden next June.

 

Kasabian were good on Saturday, just starting to feel normal again, ended up on it right through til Sunday night. Quiet few weeks then have We Are Scientists and Andy Irvine at the end of the month. Andy Irvine unfortunately falling on the same night we play Bruges so will be trying to avoid the score til I get home. Some gigs I'd patch in favour of the game but he's getting on a bit now, might not be many more opportunities to see him again.

 

Vampire Weekend last night at the Apollo. First time I've seen them since 2019. 2019 was probably a little better but last night was still a brilliant gig.

 

Slipknot tonight. Absolutely brilliant.

 

Saw them last week, they were amazing!

 

Wasn't until two weeks ago that I realised it was the first album they were playing. Was buzzing with that!

 

Went to over 20 gigs last year, most I've been to in a long time. Not planning on as many this year but depends who's announced. So far this year have 3 coming up.

Snow Patrol, Mogwai and Bruce Springsteen. Mogwai is the only one that's really my choice. Like what I've heard of Springsteen, just never taken time to get properly in to it. Snow Patrol, I don't mind some of their stuff but wouldn't be paying for the tickets myself.

 

Pantera 18th February

Getting my redundancy anaw so said I'd take the wife tk cyndi lauper feb 8th

 

Got tix for Nine Inch Nails in Amsterdam in summer. Going to plan a wee holiday around that, few days in Zandvoort and possibly Rotterdam.

 

Seen him twice so wanst willing to pay mental prices for London or Manchester.
But enjoy. Fuckjng love NIN

 

Good live show, saw them at TITP years ago.

 

Cyndi Lauper was fantastic.
She was funny. She was on point with vocals. Just a great show

 

Pantera tonight. ..* you for playing on the biggest European game in years

 

And still performs live. No backing tracks, dubbing or lip syncing nonsense. Proper old school.

The only way that should be considered 'live'.

 

Mate...no my cup of tea...but she was fantastic. And her patter was hilarious.

 

My point being, compared to so many nowadays that rely on all those things, she never has. Whether being a big fan of her music or not, she always puts on a good show. Was at Glastonbury the other year and hearing her compared to the likes of Dua Lipa, I know which one I'd pay money to catch live again. Cyndi Lauper might be in her 70's now, but put on a much better show and engaged a whole * of a lot more than someone who might have the looks, but only a fraction of her talent or passion, let alone actually cares enough to perform live and not just mime to a backing track.

 

I seen cyndi on tv at Glastonbury...shame about the sound tech. But completely night and day between them. Turned that dua lipa off. Pish.
Wife loves cyndi lauper so was just glad to take her for the last time.
Was really up there for me for one of the best performances I've seen.

 

Zakk sabbath tonight. Hopefully zakk Wylde is more on the ball than he was at pantera haha

 

Booked tickets to this festival in May. Went in 22 and 23 but skipped last year. Always a good day out.
