Gejonimo Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Saw Blink-182 at AO Arena on Sunday. Thought they'd sound terrible but the vibes would make up for it. Very surprised at how good they sounded. I liked the reworked harmonies that are more to suit their live voices than anything, musically they're all top of their game and full of energy (Travis in particular, including shredded knuckles) and lots of showmanship (pyro, fog, lasers, set pieces, solos, humour etc). Excellent show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their acoustic tent stage was probably one of my top moments at this year's festival, amazing atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was apprehensive about how she’d be post ICU / knee operations and given recent performances being decidedly dodgy.. but she put on a stunning show. The staging was impressive, costumes great, vocally on form.. there were a few obviously lip synced numbers (justify my love for one) and others with a backing track with her live vocals on top.. but many others she was fully live and sounding great. Definitely not bounding around the stage like a 20 year old anymore but still doing the choreo for songs like Don’t Tell Me which looked great. Set list had lots of hits, more ballads but you’d expect than given she can’t do wall to wall high energy dance routines anymore. They were some of the highlights though, like Live To Tell and bad girl which were beautifully done. It wasn’t a perfect show, the narrative and momentum got lost a little in the middle and some of the big hits were just chopped up with other things which made you wish she’d just done the whole song instead…but there were some really great iconic Madonna moments, epic staging and I’d love to see her do an adapted version for the pyramid. I went to the show last night and it was surprisingly good. A bit too much 'show' at times rather than bunging in a few more hits but well worth the £40 for the cheap seats at the back 😄 Oh and if the woman who was sat behind us is reading this, ditch the miserable bloke you were with who kept being a knob to people trying to politely pass him, you can do much better 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluemoonAmy Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 The Bug Club were really good at Band on the Wall last night. 3 very annoying idiots there though who didn't shut up throughout. Can't understand why you'd pay money to go see a band and then just talk loudly for the full set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlierc Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Went to go see The Japanese House at Oxford O2 last night. Loved the first album, not really played the second beyond the singles. But they were fabulous. Amber looked like she was enjoying herself, there were lots of people singing along, the sound was clear (if heavy on drums & synths at expense of guitar), so, I'd call it a success. Certainly worth the issues that were getting lost in Oxford, having to find a second car park as the closest one to venue was full, problems with paying for a drink in a nearby supermarket and problems with the digital ticket scanners, which I still think are a downgrade on physical tickets.

justanotheronethen Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Utah Saints and PWEI and the 229 Club in London. Utah Saints were great, poppies were incredible - the setlist was like a fever-dream for me, great fun and some tunes I've wanted to hear live for 3 decades. Nice venue too, aircon was a godsend and the staff were nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 The Mission at Manc Ritz last night. Not a band that gets talked about much but still going strong, Wayne's vocals have really held up considering the abuse he put them through. So many great songs, terrific crowd, band on top form. Would recommend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 For some beautiful Irish music, saw Lisa O’Neill last night at the Halifax Minster. She was scheduled to play on the Acoustic stage this year, it was cancelled so I’m hoping she‘s on for 2024. Her live show has progressed a lot since I last saw her. Some may have heard her from the 2 songs on Peaky Blinders (Blackbird & All the Tired Horses). I though she was enchanting and easily one of the best gigs I’ve been to recently. Several of her upcoming gigs are sold out and she’s playing bigger and bigger venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Went to watch Australian pink Floyd last night in Bath. Was really impressed, hasdnt seen them before. Touring DSOTM in full at the start for 50th anniversary, then doing about 10/11 other tunes from across other albums to follow. Raised eyebrows when paid about £35 for the ticket almost a year back for a cover band , but it was a big production. Was well worth it though , esp with north of 20 songs in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0paz Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Saw Killer Mike at the Lafayette last night. I’m unsure about his new solo album but it worked great live. He said he’ll be back to do a tour in bigger venues soon, so I guess an appearance at Glasto is possible. No sign of any RTJ tracks, which was probably to be expected. The first time I’ve been to Lafayette. What a lovely venue! Probably the nicest gig venue I’ve ever been in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comfy Bean Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Steve n Seagulls great value last night in Glasgow. Pretty small venue but think it was sold out. Elvana vibes, good fun and the boy on the banjo was excellent. Reckon they have the tunes for an afternoon slot on Holts and would be quality on a late night stage.

Baggins7 Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 First time seeing Chemical Brothers on Friday in Birmingham. Really good set, think maybe they could have trimmed a couple out of the middle but nice to see a real mix of old and new working well together. Visuals were insane. One thing I wondered was what are the 2 brothers actually doing up on stage? It doesn’t seem like anything is actually being done live, especially for how well it syncs to the visuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
