fleabag Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Sneaky birthday prezzie from my ( now Ex ) girlfriend...Sheryl Crow, Shepherds Bush Empire. She brought on Clapton On Sea as a surprise guest. No surprise that he spoilt the show for 2 or 3 tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeystrange Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I saw Anti-Flag four times in a week when they were here recently. One acoustic set in the Dr. Martens shop in Nottingham to about 30 people then three full shows. Different set at each show and they were on the ball every time. Well worth it.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Korm at the Brixton academy. ( 2nd time I saw ythem ). After a good start, not as good as last time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 [quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1446811707' post='2902514'] I was there too, with daughter and her boyfriend, who is huge MC fan. I thought same as you about the sound - we saw Queens of the Stone Age at the NIA and it was just a loud, fuzzy mush, whereas this was loud enough for impact, but everything was very well defined. I thought Alice was great, considering I was first blown away by Killer in 1972 and those songs still stand up now, and he's still being guillotined on stage, and he doesn't have to say "m*****f***er" every five minutes to get the audience going . Not that that's really a dig at Motley Crue, I do know how that genre works. The pyrotechnics were amazing, when the flame throwers went off we could feel the heat in the middle of the hall and the mechanical stuff was spectacular. I also liked the encore where they played at the end on a mini stage in the middle, which happened to be right where we were standing. Actually Nikki Sixx is my kind of bass player - keep it simple, look cooler than anything and use a Thunderbird. All in all, best gig we've seen for a long long time. Spent this morning trying to get tickets for The Stone Roses, what a waste of an hour that was. F'in' Ticketmaster. [/quote] Great. Sounds like we were stood in the same place. Down side is i have GAS now for a thunderbird. Had an Epi pro4 a while back and regret selling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Joe Satriani at the Cliff's Pavilion last night. I was expecting to be bored but felt obliged to see such a huge name at a small local venue. In fact I was totally blown away. Quite astonishing. I only knew a handful of his tunes before, seemed he decided to play all the ones I know at the end. Satch Boogie ended the set, Big Bad Moon and Surfing The Alien for encores! I probably enjoyed those as much as I have anything I have ever seen anyone perform but the rest of the show was pretty fantastic, too. The guy is a complete master of the instrument. I even enjoyed the support, Dan Patlanski - very Hendrix-esque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandro Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 U2 on Monday. Which was a thrill for me as I never thought when I was young I would see them live being that I'm from a land far far away, that I paid cost price for the ticket only a couple days before the show (and not the rediculous 100's resellers ask for), and that I was literally right next to the stage. I was only looking at Adam Clayton's Warwicks in front of me, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Matt Schofield at Brooklyn Bowl O2 as part of the Bluesfest weekend. Second time I have seen him, he was better this time and it was a cracking gig. Bass player was superb - the keyboardists left hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJWW Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Marcus Miller at Birmingham Town Hall last month: superb show, the cream of Birmingham's bass guitar fraternity in the audience as far as I could see (well, myself and Steve Lawson were there 😎) Before that it was Primus and before that Death from above 1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayDownThaFunk Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I was at that Motley/Alice gig in Brum. Never seen either before. Alice was great and had a superb stage show. Motley seemed to be going through the motions and when Sixx made that speech about the knife... a few people around me walked out. Vince Neil sounded like Lulu a lot of the time which didn't help.

Doctor J Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Saw Chic in a big top in Limerick on Tuesday, amazing gig. They've probably got the best set list out there. Since the last time they toured here their profile has gone up quite a lot, so this is the last reasonably small venue they play and it was nice to get in early and get right up the front, get the sound straight from the amps on stage. Jerry Barnes is one hell of a player and pulls some of the most entertaining faces you'll see on a stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Last gig, and only gig for many years, was in March: Judith Owen, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel and Pedro Segundo. Not a boring note in the entire set. If you've not seen this setup yet, I can only recommend that you do. I will try to see them again, if I can, and I've never done that for anyone else, ever.

mentalextra Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Bad Manners, although I never actually intended too. I was at a local county show and there were various acts on stage, with Bad Manners being the headline. He was about 40mins late on stage but "threw a good show" even if its not my style of music, as a muso I enjoy most things. I was particularly interested in the audience demographic; not seen that many 50yr old guys in Doc Martins and green bomber jackets before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Saw Chic last week. Amazing! I knew it would be a good gig but it far surpassed my expectations. Got a spot in the front row (standing) right in front of Jerry Barnes and one of the lovely female lead singers. Couldn't have been better situated as we got a great impression of the bass/drums grooving before it even hit the FOH. On top of that - I shook Jerry Barnes' hand afterwards! Superb night.

lefrash Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Not a fan before I went, but in Saturday I saw The Ordinary Boys at Tuts in Glasgow. Absolutely superb! Only knew 2 songs all night but that didn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlandtrees Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Rail Fan in Stirling. They were brilliant. Think they are playing somewhere in Glasgow on Thursday. They had just signed to a Swiss record company that day so they were in great form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Striking Matches at The Waterfront, Norwich. Not much of a Country fan but they were fabulous. No Nashville schmaltz - just a whole load of great songs played by Justin and Sarah who are fantastic guitarists and songwriters. CD is great too.

acidbass Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Saw Paul Weller last night. Great show but didn't play any of his hits bar 'Into Tomorrow' and The Jam's 'Start'. Nice to make the pilgrimage to the reverend Modfather nonetheless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin_lindsay Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I saw Will Young in Glasgow last Friday. I was surprised in that the show was better than I had expected. I went along as my friend Paul Turner ( Jamiroquai ) was on bass. Really great band, and Michelle John ( Eric Clapton backing singer ) was amazing as always. Paul's bass sounded great through the PA. I spoke to the sound guy afterwards. Turns out he did the sound on Kate Bush's recent Hammersmith gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
