Pre Glasto gigs

[Mud Dweller]

Has anyone been to a gig recently to get you in the mood. If so who?

Went to see The Bootleg Beatles Friday night, got Blondie this week to

Seen a few mention Neil Young in another thread, super jealous of you lot

[cassiel1972]

Off to see Bruce Springsteen at Hampden Park tomorrow night - hopefully a dress rehearsal for the Missus and I, jumping up and down and singing our hearts out. Then, probably Jimmy Cliff at the O2 ABC on Saturday. We were gutted we missed Springsteen in 2010 and the Missus was absolutely made-up to see Jimmy in 2011 (ended up planting a very damp kiss on his cheek at the merchandise signing afterwards) - so, all Glasto related (sort of).

[Vanderlyle]

Going to Leonard Cohen on Friday and The National on Wednesday.

Got friends taking my tent for me on Wednesday to Gbury so shouldn't suffer too much from arriving late.

Saw The Who do Quadrophenia on Saturday - stunning.

Support act was Vintage Trouble - singer is manic & has an amazing voice. Playing Avalon Stage I think - worth a look if you like dirty bluesy soul rock.

[Bluebeth]

We saw the singer from Vintage Trouble on stage with Paloma Faith last weekend. Agree with sinhala, great voice.

[Reilly1912]

Saw chic at the forum in Landan!! was quality. Get the funk outta here!

[drewsstrat]

I saw bon jovi in Cardiff from cheap 12.50 seats, no Richie sambora, nevertheless good value gig, solid two and half hours supported by kids in glass houses , 5/10 for them.

Next Friday I have mrs browns boys live, seen it before great to get in mood after my last day of work

[Vieuphoria]

saw Meat Puppets 2 weeks ago, saw Mudhoney last week, which were both great fantastic and intimate gigs. Was really impressed by them both as I was expecting nothing but pub-level from the two and they delivered so much more than I could have expected. Got Deerhoof this Sunday, which should be fun.

Love Saves Sunday was about 3 weeks ago now, and it was utterly superb way to set Glasto up. Saw Clean Bandit, Soul II Soul, Ben Pearce, Ghostpoet, Julio bashmore and Chic. Perfect mix, and had a very Glasto-vibe to the event. Bar the bad sound, and technical issues it really was a spectacular event.

Pet Shop Boys tomorrow and then taking my brother to see Robbie Williams on Saturday.

Saw Stone Roses at Finsbury the other week. Not that I really remember that much of it. Also Muse at Emirates.

Seen Metz/Meat Puppets/Mudhoney last week which was great, going to Bruce Springsteen tomorrow night at Hampden Park, so hoping the big stadium style gig gets me (even more) excited for Glastonbury!

[annax]

Stone roses last weekend in Finsbury Park, the XX this weekend. Nice to have a little practice before the main event.

[Loutag]

Bon jovi last week in Cardiff. Supposed to see Maroon 5 this Saturday but they've postponed!!

[Infinite Jest]

Stone Roses twice at Finsbury Park

Bruce Springsteen at Wembley

Allo Darlin' on Thursday

The National next Wednesday

Don't tend to go to the big arena/park gigs, hopefully it will be good practice for Glastonbury

[gorbag]

Queens Of The Stone Age, (among others) at Download. Obviously very much reminded me of my last Glasto night

[LondonTom]

Ben Howard last thursday! His actually quite decent live! Think he would be better in the JPT rather than Pyramid though! but nicely in the mood:

[knivesout]

got a free ticket from my mum for bruce at wembley the other night, despite being right up in the top level and the terrible, appalling sound it was a damn good show

seeing reggie watts tomorrow

Saw Muse supported by Bastille and Dizzy Rascal a few weeks ago and Springsteen at Wembley on Saturday. It's Africa Oye music festival this weekend at Sefton Park so will hopefully get to a day of that

[StephenMinty]

I had a mini-festival weekend of gigs a few weeks ago.

Fri - Mount Eerie in a church (awesome)

Sat - Field Day inc. Savages, Mount Kimbie, Four Tet and Animal Collective (awesome)

Sun - Arrested Development came out (not a gig, but still awesome)

Mon - Flaming Lips at The Roundhouse (fucking awesome)

[kieran_2012]

Just got back today from a weekend in Glasgow for The Stone Roses.

Absolutely mental time and got me right in the mood for next week!!!

[makhulumo]

Saw Misty In Roots at the Cluny on Sunday night. Think I was the only person there under 40 but it was brilliant, wish they were at Glasto.

[Midnight Man]

[A13]

Went to IoW festival on the saturday last weekend to see The Killers.

Seeing them again at Wembley this Saturday with The Gaslight Anthem & James.

[griffpne]

Seeing the Who do Quadrophenia on Sunday in Manchester, stopping over then heading down to Somerset on Monday morning! Come on!!

[Zoo Music Girl]

I'm also seeing Patti Smith tomorrow - perfect pre-festival warm-up, although by rights she should be there.

I've had a really busy month gigwise so it's been getting me in the mood: The Specials, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (as a Glasto warm-up) and PSB (as I'll miss them at Glasto) to name a few.

[russycarps]

going to see Leonard Cohen on Friday. Got ace seats too.

More excited about that than glastonbury!
