Would spent big money, but it seems that it will not happen soon. I've not heard good things about RHCP live and that's from big fans of them. Personally, I hate big gigs. I wouldn't see anyone in an arena or stadium. Even at Glastonbury, I hate going to the Pyramid stage. You're just so far from the band. I'd rather see a smaller band in a small venue so it at least feels like you're in the same room as the band. 1 Quote

JottoSW1 Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 Meshuggah, Friday next week at Royal Albert Hall. Bit concerned, the live clips I've heard from this tour seem very messy. Also not hugely impressed with Immutable, the new Album. However, if they do Demiurge I'll be happy. Quote

Same here. Luckily I don't like big bands, so I can see all my favourites at small venues. 1 Quote
TrevorR Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 Managed to secure tickets to see Public Service Broadcasting (one of my new fave bands over the last 10 years) premiering a new album length piece at the Royal Albert Hall for the BBC Proms - so chuffed and excited! Not Proms but still a flavour if you've not come across them before... 2 Quote
yorks5stringer Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 Going to see Amy Helm, daughter of Levon and step-daughter of Donald Fagan- there's a musical heritage. On in Bristol at the Louisiana this coming Saturday. I've got a gig at the Home Farm Fest late afternoon then on up to Bristol for a 8.00 pm start. First gig I've watched since lockdown.... Quote
adamg67 Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 Off the see Jack White at the Apollo at the end of June, I saw him in Leeds a few years ago and loved it, whatever that thing is that he has, it really comes across live. Hoping for the same again, it’s not a stupid big venue either so even though we’re in the circle it should still be an experience. Quote
Bigwan Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Saw Del Amitri in Belfast last night... Suppose I should have posted this yesterday, given the thread title! Seen them a few times before and they always hit the spot. Justin Currie looking a bit frail though. A bit of a worry for a guy in his late 50s. He never admitted to being much of a bass player but he keeps things pumping along nicely! Good old sing-song had by all! Quote
Cliff Edge Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Jools Holland and band in Hastings on Friday. Quote
SteveXFR Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Bad Religion in Bristol tomorrow night. Tickets booked in 2019, completely forgot about it until a few days ago. Quote
nekomatic Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Jacob Collier on Thursday - feels like a year ago that we booked it, just realised it's this week! Quote
Dazm66 Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Saw Roachford on Sunday at the waterfront in Norwich. Excellent gig and great venue. Definitely intimate! Quote
BassAgent Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Tomorrow Mastodon, Friday Meshell Ndegeocello😎 1 Quote
cetera Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) KISS at Download on Friday night. Backstage guest parking and a wander through to stand in front of the stage. I'll be turning up at 8.30 and leaving at 11pm. No standing in a field for hours with the great unwashed for me. Edited June 8, 2022 by cetera 2 Quote
NickD Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Pat Metheny on Sunday night. Cheeky git hasn't got a bass player on this tour, so we've got Adam Ben Ezra on Monday night to rebalance things. 1 Quote

Nail Soup Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Had a pretty empty gig diary, then noticed at the last minute that a local village is having a small 'festival'... folk/roots music, taking place in the old church. Last night and tonight, 3 bands/artists per night. Folk is one of the few genres Mrs Soup will come to... so we picked tonight out of the two nights. The Dicemen (they claim a bit of post-punk as an influence...... don't tell Mrs Soup!), Danni Nichols (A bit country for my tastes, but i'll keep an open mind) The Magpies (Yay - banjo and fiddle!) 1 Quote
leroydiamond Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Saw Steve Vai last night in The Academy in Dublin. Sensational is the only word. I have been going to gigs for many years, but sound wise this was the best, just perfect. Quote
Adey Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 I'm off to Guns and Roses at Spurs at beginning of July. I've heard the Axl Rose even turns up on stage on time too.... Quote
Rib13Bass Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 I just saw Paul McCartney......80 year old man still gotta lotta juice.....excellent Quote
kevin_lindsay Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 Saw Jacob Collier last night in Glasgow. Wow!!!!! I was blown away, really incredible. The bass player was incredible, and the whole band were amazing individually, and collectively. So good that I was reduced to tears of joy on at least 4 occasions. My 20 year old son hadn't heard any of Jacob's stuff, and even he said, "that was amazing"! Afterwards Quote
NoRhino Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 Yes in Glasgow on Wednesday. Haven't heard anything of them since my school days in the 1970s Quote

Impeccable timing and good note choice Quote
