Bassman Sam Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 The UK Pink Floyd Experience at the Liverpool Empire last night. The best tribute band i have ever seen, just outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Saw Emergency Exit on Saturday featuring our own @theplumberon bass. Up at 5am for so could only stay for 1st set 😭 Bloody good band knocking out punk classics. Punters enjoyed it as much as the band did,looked like all involved were having a blast 😃 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1876637905905789/permalink/2396716520564589/?__xts__[0]=68.ARAmjNCfOvbIzJxAOggaMclAxp6goP8Nflh2WUSR_FRgfAvfmzC1WEx04cNKSC79S0EXsGb1CO2kyXt-sSeLgOaoG_3rs1mgQpauCPvqDk4vmlVxwY8e-Lx-RBjSHmrc4MsfhKhzvEjFLXkfzJah1jKLXw7r0IIEW1k-qxgRnLYDpgECl4nFg8p8IUjqKYc5mgZx3M0evwd59Ly4UbHYFkWrvQGkjsp703TN5p0B2wNQyRRIX735OaGWjoVP7OaDonD7sbu4IrnPW6GvRM9ntCWtQXlgcNLQpuLO6Yvp&__tn__=CH-R 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Triumph of Death playing Hellhammer in Frankfurt and Yob playing Yob in Wiesbaden. Great gigs both, but seeing Tom playing a Hellhammer set was quite special. Sadly, The Obsessed cancelled what would have made an incredible hat-trick but it was a fantastic trip regardless. Heading abroad for gigs is rapidly becoming my favourite thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Stray Cats at Hammersmith Apollo last night. Saw Brian Setzer a few years ago when he did his big band Jump Jive and Wail stuff and his guitar playing was amazing. Really edgy, some phenomenal licks. So when Mrs S spotted this coming up we thought it had to be done. Setzer's playing last night was slicker with the spikes and bumps smoothed out. More Bill Hayley than Stray Cats IMO. And once you've done that to rockabilly the tunes can tend to sound much the same as each other. Some cheesy 'spontaneous' well rehearsed, poorly delivered lines 'well, gee, Slim, whadda ya reckon - shall we play X?' type stuff didn't help. Lee Rocker's slap bass was great - he played with energy and enthusiasm, also sang a lot - whether buy design or necessity I don't know as Setzer's voice was giving out fairly early on. We gave it an hour but left early. Which meant no crush on the tube going home, which was good. Best thing I thought was to see most of the punters in full rockabilly regalia, tattoos and hair gel. I imagine the die hard fans would have enjoyed it regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Tom Misch last night in Bristol, I was by some distance the oldest person there, decent enough band, far too heavy on the bass sub (what a surprise) and Misch had the personality of a lobster, but the kids seemed to love it, some chap called Loyle Carner (?) showed up as well, not a clue who he was but everyone went nuts, felt very out of place!

JapanAxe Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Dale Watson and his Lone Stars, at the Exchange in Bristol. This guy is phenomenal. His style is somewhere between Bakersfield and Sun Studios. He plays excellent country guitar and sings at the same time, and is also hugely entertaining. His band (drums, upright bass, pedal steel) are tight as a gnat's chuff*. The bass player was a guy called Chris Crepps, who also sang high harmonies. *gnat's chuff - unit of measurement for the adjustment of action at the nut on certain modified guitars Edited June 27, 2019 by JapanAxe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Blank Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Nick Cave Q&A gig at The Dome Brighton. During the questions someone said they lived in Nick Cave’s old flat and could he tell them where the stopcock was, which he duly did. Splendid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such energy and covering some great songs i'd forgotten about. Seen them several times now and if you like punk classics then this band is worth seeing.

doomed Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Phil Anselmo & The Illegals last Thursday in Bristol, about 20mins of Illegals stuff then the remainder was Pantera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Just got back from seeing Gladys Knight in Nottingham, still has the voice at 76 years old !! Quality six piece band plus three backing singers, what I found refreshing is that she let each of the backing singers individually take centre stage at times during the concert. An amazing thing happened while driving through Lincolnshire on the way home, we saw a shooting star 🌠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Phil knows what his audience wants I've recently been listening to Pantera again for the first time in ages - it seems to suit the current hot weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Babymetal at the O2, Brixton. What would have been a fantastic gig spoiled by the complete knob in front of me taking pictures literally for the entirety of the gig. Can’t help thinking he went for all the wrong reasons.... Oh well, seeing them again next Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketflup Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Ministry at Shepherds Bush 02 last Saturday. Awesome, awesome gig. Fell in love with Al Jourgenson all over again. Spent the next two days walking round looking like Sandy Toksvig, unable to move my neck. Marvellous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr4stringz Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Living Colour at The Mill in Birmingham. Playing Vivid front to back. Just awesome musicianship as always. And by God, Doug Wimbish remains an absolute beast of a player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I exclude the mighty Sabbath from the above because I don’t really class them as metal. They’re just, well, Sabbath.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
