    Nice of Mick Hucknall to stand in on vocals with Guns & Roses. Get well soon Axl!
  2. toneknob
    Yeah Guns'n'Roses aren't what they used to be

    Agree no Colin = no PT but they have recorded a live album from the recent tour and I bet that was all on a click. Godspeed to Nate though, what a player.

    organic artisan-sourced chips though

    They were on at Glastonbury when I was there in 1998. If I saw them I have no recollection of it 🥴

    if you can be tempted a bit more SE, Wickham Audio in Brockley https://www.wickhamaudio.co.uk/

    I think these days all tall flags are required by law to get as close as possible to the sightlines between all TV cameras and any band members currently on stage.

    I hope "your friend" found it in the end for a nice snooze.

    I'm hoping Elton and Axl revisit their landmark Bohemian Rhapsody duet first seen at the Freddie Mercury tribute gig in 1992

    Couple of gig reviews here: https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/blogs/peter-gabriel-o2-arena-london-june-19-2023-142862/ https://thequietus.com/articles/33075-peter-gabriel-live https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/24/peter-gabriel-review-haunted-new-songs-have-fans-punching-the-air https://www.ft.com/content/888582e4-8ec9-47dd-b162-13be10e9b997 ("There was nothing by Genesis". lol)

    No problem sound-wise at the London show, but these enormodomes can be patchy depending on where you're sitting. I've spotted Tony Levin's road diary is now updated for UK shows - lots of great photos and info here. https://tonylevin.com/road-diaries/peter-gabriel-io-tour/

    Yep, the whole band are having a great time. Great to see some newbies in the line-up, while at the same time as well as TLev, you've got David Rhodes and Manu Katche who were in the band when I first saw them in 1987 (and from years before then as well). Ayanna Witter-Johnson did a great job of duetting with PG on Don't Give Up. Also for time-perspective I am closer to being 77 than I am seeing Peter Gabriel live for the first time

    Tony Levin with Peter Gabriel at The O2 last night. Also featured: DarkRay bass (switched red for Red Rain of course), NS upright, Chapman Stick, backing vocals, dance moves, on-stage ad hoc photography Tony Levin is 77 years old *doffs chapeau*

    Turns out Jah Wobble runs a jam night in a south-west London library. who knew! It's called Tuned In, and aims to bring people together to make music regardless of ability and to help combat the effects of loneliness in some parts of the community. Some of the sessions have already happened, some are still to come in July.

    I can do better than that, I've been in a zero-hit band. Actually loads of them!

    A bit more gold from some digging I've been doing with the aid of the excellent fan site http://simpleminds.org/ If you look on Spotify for Simple Minds' collections of B-sides and rarities called "Themes", on volumes 3 and 4 you'll find the following from the mid/late 80s all featuring John Giblin on bass: the set mentioned above from Mandela 70 at Wembley, plus live versions of Big Sleep, Love Song, Street Hassle, Don't You Forget About Me, Glittering Prize and Celebrate. album links: https://open.spotify.com/album/6cKFO2yBr7H30iYq5U9paP?si=f3BxA09DSja7eyTWp8I5ig https://open.spotify.com/album/16O1Tyl1qsmf26bEj3N6y3?si=pXbo0jnDQ6Om_z7uNyUvzw

    Open A string but use your plucking hand make it sound like you're playing the fretted note You should have it sussed by the time the song ends.

    Mike Joyce was on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about Andy Rourke. Segment starts around 8.42am. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001m6qy/breakfast-20052023

    From the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/19/andy-rourke-bassist-for-the-smiths-dies-aged-59) "(Johnny) Marr’s tribute continued: “Watching him play those dazzling basslines was an absolute privilege and genuinely something to behold. But one time which always comes to mind was when I sat next to him at the mixing desk watching him play his bass on the song The Queen is Dead. It was so impressive that I said to myself ‘I’ll never forget this moment.’" Bit dusty in here.

    Another sad loss this week. It seems like only yesterday this came bursting out of my AM radio.
  22. toneknob
    the people and the music (said tone, currently in zero actual bands)
  23. toneknob
    Kate Bush has posted about John Giblin on her website (https://www.katebush.com/news/john) Likewise from Jim Kerr on the Simple Minds facebook (remembering seeing JG at the Before The Dawn shows - also a hint at why he left Simple Minds) https://www.facebook.com/simpleminds/posts/pfbid02Ts2yZYGSY1h7rzKBsFrTQbSsme5EDqDdtPhw6u9a3iA2Q5w8vHc6k3MsnSdSxfL8l

    No problem, I'll be doing similar with others as I revisit my favourites. (including Live In The City of Light, which I've not heard in ages)
  25. toneknob
    Also here's the Simple Minds set from the Nelson Mandela 70th birthday show in 1988. Some clunkers but it includes Biko with Peter Gabriel. I remember the NME review of the day, who uncharacteristically for them shed a positive light on it, and I recall them saying something like "Peter Gabriel joined the band for Biko and the hairs stood up on the backs of 70,000 necks".
