fred quimby Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Off to NF at Kentish Town tonight with my son. Last of my xmas presents of - I will come and see a gig with each of my family (and pay of course). He is a big NF fan even before the perception album, me not much so should be interesting. Not been to a rap/hip hop gig with this type of rapping so should be interesting. I bet I am the oldest there as I was at the midnight screening of Infinity Wars that I took him to. Not looking forward to the drive to London and back though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZigster Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Jeff Beck tomorrow. I mean tonight. It's not tomorrow until I've been to bed. Must go to bed. Jeff Beck tomorrow. I mean tonight. Only found out today (I mean yesterday) that it's an outdoor gig. Hope the weather's nice. Intend to spend some time at either the V&A ot the Saatchi as they're in the vicinity, and free, and I will have time to kill. Anyone else here going? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feral chile Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Saw Psychedelic Furs on Wednesday. It was my first night out for ages, and on a school night. Did me the world of good, sat up in the balcony with a perfect view. Edited June 15, 2018 by feral chile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them a couple of years ago in The Fleece (Bristol), a lovely small venue - and they were great, played plenty of their earlier stuff (and not too much from the too-smooth Mirror Moves). (also saw them headline Glasto in 1986). Edited June 16, 2018 by eFestivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seeing Jack White tonight too, as England are playing it means loads of people are selling their tixs so I managed to get two tixs for £25.

WS_Jack_III Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Also he wasn't on stage until 9:15 last night so I might try and catch some of the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing the same thing, I'm skipping the support act to see the game in the nearest pub but my worry is every pub near the venue will be rammed. How was he last night? Is he still doing songs from White Stripes and his other bands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Raconteurs songs but 'Cut Like a Buffalo' and a fair few stripes. Did 'Same boy you've always known' all on his own which was great. Loved the visuals and there's a countdown video that is quite funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey - Wednesday must've been a bit shit then. I thought there were flashes of brilliance and the encore run of tunes excellent, but it just seemed too jumpy to me. He seems to suck the musicality out of the tunes. Overall, good but .... and at £55 .... come on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has tech issues again last night but I just thought it was overall much better. Everyone charges 60 quid now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to him playing a song then stopping halfway through and playing another then jumping back to the first song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - the songs were all over the place. I'm old and I like a tune where I have some idea where it's going. However, it was quite enjoyable watching the rhythm section desperately watching him to try and work out where he was going next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's standard Jack White, he's done this since The White Stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
