Great Gigs

[LadyNorwood]

Texas at Town & Country, Kentish Town when they first became 'mainstream' - they were so loud I had to leave, my eardrums were popping...

[KidKruger]

The Egg at some bar on Hoxyon Sq. on Thursday just gone.

Holly Johnson closing he Save the Children night at Union Chapel Thursday one. Sang The Poer f Love with string section backing. Gorgeous venue, great once, beautiful tune.

Made up for the weirdness of seeing Tim Burgess duetting with Myleene Klass on a harp earlier in the night....

[StraferJack]

so - Kate Bush to play live for first time in 35 years

imagine the switchboard meltdown at 9am when tickets go on sale

[El Pibe]

wow. I'd love to see that, but not enough to actually try.

Slowdive the latest to reform, might go to electric picnic for that.

[StraferJack]

i'm amazed she is doing it but not sure I would actually enjoy it

lots of arm-waving and floaty nonsense? - not for me

sarcastic version of Cornflake Girl? - hmm, maybe I'm in

[Otta]

I'm gonna try to get tickets for the wife and I.

More for the wife to be honest, but I would like to see it.

John Grant at the Roundhouse earlier this month

[ruffers]

Saw The Cure 3 or 4 years ago at Wembley of all places, and they were brilliant. Genuinely just plain great, three hours of a band which just knows what they're doing.

So am going again to RAH next week and hoping not to be disappointed.

[malumbu]

I saw the Cure in 1980 and they were brilliant. Maybe even better in 84. I saw them again in 1986 and they were still pretty decent. All down hill from there, I could probably listen to one of the early albums like Pornography on the odd ocassion if pushed.

I suppose my rather dismissive post is repeating what the older generation said about me after I saw the Who in 1979.

Anyway onto contemporary matters - seeing O'Hooley and Tidow on Monday week at St Pancras Old Church a weel tomorrow wish I am looking forard to.

[ultraburner]

Megadeth, supported by Alice in chains at the old Charing cross marquee, about 1989. Absolutely rammo moshpit from hell :).

Ratm at Glasto 1994 (?) was good as well.

[paulipedia]

Prince is the best performing artist alive. Fact

Oh, what did that nasty Mr Peter Townsend say about you, dear? Did he hope you died before you got old? Awww... poor you

[mancity68]

Anyone else t the Manics tonight in Brixton? I love that band. Maybe this wasn't the best gig by them I've ever seen - but hard not to enjoy every minute...

[El Pibe]

Seems we erred on the side of caution on the buying frenzy when neutral milk hotel went on sale.

Buggers then added two more dates, so we have 3 tix going spare for tonight's gig at the Roundhouse if anyone is interested.

[Mick Mac]

Saw Arcade Fire last night at Hyde Park.

I didn't really know much about them (a bit sad I know) but I have to say I have rarely enjoyed a gig more than I did last night and I have rarely seen so many happy people in one place. An amazing performance and will be buying the back catalogue.

[KidKruger]

Zonderlings are on at 12 Bar tonight, Denmark St.

ETA: added pic, post-gig.

[Otta]

What a good looking group of young heartthrobs!

[PeckhamRose]

Well, some of 'em were young.

[Otta]

True.

And girl bass players are always hot!

Really enjoyed it, but tainted by breaking a string and being a bit limited after that.

[PeckhamRose]

Weirdly, the 12 Bar Club was mentioned on a Radio Four documentary this morning about Jeff Buckley. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b048hxpk
