Got any gigs coming up?

@GETOFFAMYLAWN do I remember you saying you are going to Wilco at the Albert Hall on Friday? I'll be making the pilgrimage north myself, and looking forward to the venue (I've heard good things).

Anyone else going?

Not me sir. Dinosaur Jr on Saturday but never knowingly heard a not of Wilco. The Albert Hall is a top venue though.

Anyone going to see Wilco at Brixton on Saturday? cant wait,  first time I will have seen them

[mjsell]

Seeing Crazy P tonight, when I bought the ticket I had no clue who they were - was just told by a mate that they were good and we should all go. Now I'm really looking forward to it. Proper underground disco feel to them. Only oddity is that they are on quite early (gig finishes at 10pm) - but that does mean we are going out after for a mates birthday to a Stevie Wonder themed night so I'm seeing it as a real win win.

On Wednesday I got free tickets from work, for Cat Stevens last night. What an incredible gig it was! He was sublime in every way!

Well I got that wrong then! How were Dino Jr? Wilco were great! Gorgeous venue as well, with really good sound. Did you enjoy London @Harry49?

[Harry49]

@big_phil, Really enjoyed Wilco, good setlist and band seemed up for it! amazingly there were a couple of scuffles between middleaged men who should have known better near me, but handbags really.

Highlights were Impossible Germany, Spiders and Shot in the Arm.

Love watching a good scuffle at a gig. Did someone spill a tiny bit of drink?

Ironically the crowd at Crazy P on friday were the friendliest London crowd I've been in for a long long time - I assume because of the sheer quality of the music but everyone was so happy and neighbourly (it was quite off putting the first time when I thought I was in for it after I spilt half a beer down someones back, only for him to turn around apologise to me and give me a hug).

Dinosaur Jr a class act as always, not as good as the dates on the I Bet On Sky tour, because the tunes from that album were some of their best, but still one of best guitar bands on the face of the planet. All the hits, J mumbling loads, Murph knocking his glasses off from going full Animal from The Muppets, great night all round.

Sounds perfect. I saw them in Gloucester Guildhall a few years ago as a warm up for Glastonbury, and they were fantastic.  I think that has a capacity of 400 of so, although I'm pretty sure they over-sold it that night...

Saw Doctors in Cardiff this coming Monday.  Still one of the great festival fun bands.

Just found out.  The problem for me is that the re-scheduled date is Easter Monday and most of our gang will have family commitments.

Clearly the SDs are no longer good catholic boys.

[grumpyhack]

Family commitments, not religious commitments.  Child care, chance to see kids and grandkids who live away, anniversary of big bereavement etc.

[grumpyhack]

I don't know about their personal religious beliefs but they've certainly written a lot of songs, often tongue in cheek, about the role of the Catholic church.

Been to two gigs this week. Frank Turner at Liverpool Uni on Monday, always a great show, and Beans on Toast at Constellations in Liverpool last night. Great fun and good support, really enjoyed one of his support acts, Sky Smeed who I'd never heard of before. Even bought his cd.

[big__phil]

Hinds tomorrow night in Bristol. One of favourite sets of Glastonbury this year, so looking forward to seeing them again. It's also at Bristol Trinity, which is a really nice venue which does a lot for the local community.

[ThomThomDrum]

SFA tomorrow playing Fuzzy Logic and Radiator. I will be interested to see how I react to a gig I know the set list to in advance and am familiar with the progression.

They should be on stage for at least 2 hours one would think.........

[DomDom1984]

Was at The Human League tonight. Tremendous.

[WS_Jack_III]

At Hammersmith for The Chemical Brothers, seen them 3 times at Glasto and I'm still daft with excitement for tonight.

[feral chile]

Placebo in Newport tomorrow.
