shaddypeekey Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Off to Glasgow Green for Wet Wet Wet on Friday, then Lomond Folk Festival next weekend in Balloch all weekend. Because I'm Rock and Roll.

irnbru Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Just back from Benicassim - highlights were Stone Roses (better than in Manchester), Noel Gallagher, Maccabees (think they will be headlining festivals soon!), Spector and the Vaccines. Bob Dylan was pretty poor though - no crowd interaction at all and his set was more like a jam for session musicians that a Bob Dylan gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deego Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Saw The View the other week. Not my favourite band but the crowd was good. Sweatiest gig I've ever been at though, everyone was drenched head to toe in sweat. Rotten. oTwhgA-kEVo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortonbug Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Was down seeing Springsteen in London last weekend. What a show they put on in Hyde Park, despite the jobsworths backstage cutting himself, Paul McCartney and the band's mics towards the end of the final song because they had went past the curfew! Went through to Edinburgh for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds at the Castle on Tuesday night, absolutely crackin gig. Am a big fan of the album, really enjoy most of the tracks. Among the Oasis songs he performed, there was an acoustic version of Supersonic, Whatever during the encore was amazing, Don't Look Back In Anger to finish, superb. Rain threatened to dampen things a wee bit, but stayed off for almost all of it. Manc band called Folks supporting, sounded a wee bit like Cast at times, not bad either. Heading down to see Mozza in Manchester next weekend, looking forward to it as not seen him since Stirling in '09. Hope he sounds ok in the Arena though, SECC in '04 was a bit dodgy!

ThornTON Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Was down seeing Springsteen in London last weekend. What a show they put on in Hyde Park, despite the jobsworths backstage cutting himself, Paul McCartney and the band's mics towards the end of the final song because they had went past the curfew! How exactly the crew "jobsworths"? Have you any idea how big the fines (and repercussions for when they apply for the licence next year) for concert promoters breaking local curfews are? They cut off people at the Leeds festival for over-running, and Branham Park is in the middle of nowhere. Hyde Park is right in the middle of the city! Someone switching off Paul McCartney's microphone is probably one of the greatest acts of humanitarianism in recorded history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThornTON Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Probably because you're a prick, I'd guess. Someone does their job, because some rich **** can't do his properly, and you feel the need to insult him/her rather than the multi millionaire that can't sing that you've paid a few quid to hear warble monotonously.

Perhaps, or perhaps because you're an odious pedant. I enjoyed the near 30 song set that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed, I considered it worth the few quid, fantastic live. And I was aware of the rules, there was a curfew when I went to see them at the Emirates in 2008, it's in a built-up area also. Like a lot of people, given the set had minutes to finish, I felt they could have let them go on for the minute or two longer required to wrap up and thank the crowd. Your constant need to correct everyone over everything is utterly depressing.

standman Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Quo were fantastic on Friday at Inverness. Met three of the band before the gig- they were staying in the same hotel! Their drummer initially thought I was the driver to take them to the gig!! Let's rock ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozehound Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Got a ticket for Pete Doherty next week at Word Up, seeing The Twang in October and The View in December. The Twang gig I went to in 2007 was one of the best nights out of my life - ended up drinking with the band in Barfly afterwards as well. Pete Doherty's a **** though. An internet fud is still a fud.
