Mind you that Aguilar rig isn’t too shabby either. A helluva lot of money tied up in that bass and rig - kerching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 1. Snow Patrol - an act well past their sell-by date. 2. A rap act. I was hopeful a few years ago that all the rap acts were going to kill each other in drive-bys. Sadly it hasn't worked out. 3. Tower of Power. Underwhelmed with this lot even if the bass playing was lovely. 4. An old lady singing a Dylan song to Jools' piano accompaniment. 5. A new band from sarff London with a man in a boiler suit aka the filler. 6. Female with acoustic guitar. 7. Snow Patrol doing that much retired pub song. 8. zzzzzzzzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like that'll be the plan this series too. Why bother watching then?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I caught a bit of it last night, that Snow Patrol track was an album track at best awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Tower of Power, classy musicianship, great grooves. Shame, totally the opposite, dreadful. Snow Patrol, zzzzzzzzzz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I thought Plan B sounded good, loved the bass player, not so much the song though. Same for Tower of Power. Listening to those bass lines made me feel very inadequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because every so often something comes up which I hadn't heard about elsewhere and looks worth investigating. Sadly its been a case of diminishing returns for a few series now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No lust in Jazz Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I watched week one on iPlayer last night - nothing I heard made me want to investigate further - I was impressed by the lad from Plan B and his positive action in setting up a scheme to help 'troubled' youths via music education.

casapete Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Just watched it on catch up. Thought Tower of Power were very good, but a little bit too frantic / muso for my tastes if you know what I mean. Bass sounded great though! Surprised how much I enjoyed Plan B, although a bit baffled as to the white face paint?!! Betty Lavette was okay, and Jools didn't play all over her. As for Shame, didn't get it at all, but then again I'm probably not supposed to. Looking forward to the next few editions, still a great music programme after all this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Thought I'd give ep 2 a chance but regretted it, yet again. When will I ever learn. Went back to to ep 1 and watched ToP again but was less impressed this time yet I'm a fan of their first 5 albums, well the more upbeat tracks anyway. Always felt they sounded a bit sappy with the slow soul numbers. Anyway, as ever the playing on Later was gnat's ar$e tight but for me it didn't swing enough like the best funk tunes do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I watch Later. Actually, I record it and ff through the stuff I don't like. I sometimes see a band that I like. I've no idea why people like the stuff I don't, but they seem to, so why should I call their music crap and slag off one of the only music programs on TV? I'm in favour of the TV companies filling their schedules with live music. We need more. Later is a good program and TV would be the poorer if it was cancelled. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought that Nicky Wire looked like a tired old bloke pretending to be a rock star, but maybe that's his "thing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
