Whiskey_chaser Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm off to see Public Service Broadcasting in Norwich tonight - my first gig in what seems like an age not counting an awesome jazz band I saw in Prague). Heard nothing but good things about their live show so pretty excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Went to possible the worst Concert I have ever had the misfortune of seeing, which was a shame as on paper it should have been something very special indeed. Drum Legends - Herman Rarebell (Scorpions) , Gingerbaker ( Cream ) and Pete York ( Spencer Davis Group ) All 3 Drummers started off on stage together, playing a light improv for about 5 minutes , before Herman ze German came on with former Scorpions Vocalist Michael Schenker Herman is far from a Legend but a more than competent drummer none the less, But really was out shon by Shenker, who for his age still has a great voice, and belted out some scorpions classics the sound in general was lacking and being covered up with a saxophonist who didn't really fit in with what was being played. Not a great start, but acceptable, next up the highlight for me Ginger Baker, Well was I disappointed, After Ginger was literally walked out with support to stage he sat behind the kit looking like a zombified animatronic version of himself, still give him chance I thought and they Start with a pub band in support played a woeful version Sunshine of your love, next up The Toad if anything is going to be good its this, so it starts not to bad , he has support on an additional drum I can live with that the geezer is 80 odd but rather then the Legendary 13-15 minute rendition of the song he shortens down to a badly played 4 minute rendition, and the curtain goes down. Post Interval Pete York comes out and proves there is no chance at saving this travesty of a show, tells a few grandad jokes and then plays and sings well he might as well been singing in a nursing home for the hearing impaired because thats about the only audience he could keep, 1 and a half songs in and we had seen more than enough time to leave and hit the pub, to stares of bemusement by the crowd who are lapping it up, maybe they were the tone deaf ones or just blinded by the appearance of 1 Hasbeen legend and 2 session drummers. I need to make up for this with a good gig, this one isn't even going to make my list of Artists I have seen live, I'd sooner have not gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Terrorvison were absolutely superb. Atmosphere was incredible and they played How To Make Friends And Influence People in its entirety, followed by a 30 minute encore of best ofs that aren’t on that album. Tony even remembered most of the words ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Had a very odd experience last night. On my way to the garage to get new tyres I had the radio on and this song came on which stuck in my head all day: Focus Wales is currently on in Wrexham. Met up with a few old friends. Watched an all-female Canadian rock band and then switched floors in the venue to watch this rapper I was told was amazing. First song she rapped about masturbation, second song about sucking dick, another song about Tinder, another one about fuck boys. Then the final song was Thunder Thighs which made me go, “ohhhhh!”. I met her after the show and she was lovely. And this dude that was a big fan and came over from Coventry specifically to see her. Keep in mind it’s a 3 day festival that costs 40 quid for the 3 days. And on top of that he’s followed her round the country on her tour. I could’ve seen Skindred last night but the venue was a decent walk away and I’m very lazy. Same for the Lovely Eggs which would’ve been good to have seen.

one-armed dwarf Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Seeing Dragonsong there reminds me of how much I liked Heavensward and how it's the most that Final Fantasy has felt like Final Fantasy since... FFIX. Crazy how an MMO could be that good. Pity Stormblood is so boring in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Off to see Stone Temple Pilots tonight! They've been one of my favourite bands for around 20 years and this is my first time ever seeing them. I'm excited, but I'm also shattered from a work party last night and bummed out I can't see them with Scott. Jeff is great though so I'm sure it's going to be spectacular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Well that was fantastic, solid 8/10 gig for sure. The band were tight and Jeff's vocals were incredible. He sounds great on the album but live is something else, and seeing and hearing him sing Scott's songs it's easy to see why he got the job, his range is next level and he was hitting every single note of every single song. Weirdly though some songs seemed to be slowed down and it threw me off a bit, then they did that thing where the guitarist has to freestyle a solo for a bit before filling the middle of the set list with the really slow songs. I know they do it so everyone can have a rest but I hate it, and they did a really weird super slow version of Plush and I did not enjoy it at all. It's one of my favourite songs and I'd like to hear it being performed properly thank you very much. Other than that though it was genuinely brilliant and proved once and for all the Stone Temple Pilots were always more than just Scott Weiland, and I can't wait to see what they do next.

shinymcshine Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Just back from seeing the Chromatics live in Bristol - and excellent audio visual feast, with music lighting & video all contributing to a memorable night.

shinymcshine Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 My first gig was Bruce Springsteen at Roundhay Park, Leeds, in 1985. I was still at school and my mum & dad gave me & a mate a lift (from Warrington) dropped us off on a road nearby and said see you later. Heaven knows how we managed to find them on the way out amongst a 70k crowd, but we just headed back the same way we'd come, walked a fair bit more due to traffic chaos, and then there they were. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bruce-springsteen/1985/roundhay-park-leeds-england-2bd7b082.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
