Did not notice to much, as I was watching backing dancers/jiggers/dancers!
So then, I headed off to see Coldplay last night feeling a bit meh. I wanted to take my kids as they love them but I also wanted to watch the footy. I also am not a great fan of the latest album. However, depsite clearly missing a great result, the gig was actually awesome. Fortunately they didnt play too much of the new stuff and breathed life into the oldies. There was a nice tribute to Ali along the way as well as a cover of Heroes as a nod to Bowie. They make a lot of money from their stadium tours but clearly spend a lot of it on production and threw in several kitchen sinks as well. Everyone was given a wrist band that had various colured lights that we operated automatically and the effect in the stadium was amazing. They played on a small stage in the middle of the stadium (not uncommon) as well as the main stage but also played on a small stage at the far end of the stadium for those at the back, which was a nice touch, during the encore. As much as I was gutted that I missed the faces of the gobby Welsh gits who have been rubbishing us all week, I had a great evening and my kids are happy bunnies. 
Sounds like the same set up they did a few years ago with the different stages and wrist bands. if itās not brokeā¦
Yes, didnt realise they did the wrist band thing before. The screens were amazing. HD pictures instead of the poor quality pics you used to get. Having said that they didnt play much of the news stuff I have just found out they played 7 tracks from the latest CD. As Ygritte might say, you know nothing Sadoldgit!

My partner has been a big Coldplay fan. Weāve been to many a gig. But not this year. We will probably see them at Glastonbury. He didnāt buy the latest album. So no real idea what their new stuff is! So probably be like you Sadoldgit
Whilst I wasnt blown away by the latest album the stuff they played live certainly worked. They really have the whole stadium thing nailed. Iād love to be super cool and say they were pants but actually it was a great concert even though I prefered them when they were Indie and not Pop. My eldest is going to Glastonbury and was saying that now she has seen Coldplay she will probably blow them out and watch EW&F insteadā¦but judging by the texts I received today I have a feeling she will be back to Coldplay again!
Fresh from my excitement of reviewing Polish soap operas, tonight I got to watch 80āsome Legends DE Mono at the Zabiersow Village Fete.
With beer at 95pence a pint & awesome bbqādo Kielbasa it was all very nice.
So to the band. 2 original members in a 6 piece, they were the Rock Godās back in the day. They had an interesting U2 meets Hall & Oates fused with Prince, Spandau & Duran Duran original (nearly) sound. Basically generic rip offs tbh, but the Sax player did blast away into copious Baker Street quality riffs & solos.
Very tight musically but tbh I have more Pzazz on stage at Karaoke night so the locals thought it was a bit meh. I thought it was all very nice but by then at that price we had created a fair beer snake.
Interesting that back in the days bands were writing Polish hits in a Western Style, I did have a few misheard lyric moments āI donāt want a BJā being the funniest.
Good random warm up for Glastonbury & they even had Portales! All in all, well worth the free entry & the Kielbasa (Ā£1.90) made the day.
Hereās a link to the original stuff. Donāt listen while driving in case you nod off & kill someone

Sorry copy not working on my fone for some reason

Sitting in the shitter at the Love Revisited gig at the Brook.
Thereās about 50 of us, so all we need to do is support the band.
Upstairs closed off.
Small venue
Small feeling.
Time to make our own funā¦onwardsā¦
Whereās the Flyd Cat?

LOL. Red sequinned jackets ahoy for a Motown showdown.
I am amazed that nobody in the aged audience had a massive heart attack.
Gig made even more memorable by the dazed and confused British girl wandering onto the stage for the final number and (badly) joining in with the slick dance moves of this South African retro combo.
I laughed so hard I nearly did a little squirt of wee.
Looking forward to the horse racing in the streets on Monday and the giant papier mache heads of the fiesta Saint Jaume.
All has been forgiven and normal service has been resumed. Just got back from the Thursday night at Kendal Calling and The Charlatans were amazing. Sound was great, set was great and Tim seemed to be having a great time. The crowd were happy and in party mood, really really good and I am so happy!
Also saw ASH today and they also put on a great show. Good tempo as per normal. Love this band live.
Tomorrow is a bit of a slow day at the Festival with only a couple of bands we want to see being We are Scientists and Catfish & the Bottlemen and then over to comedy for Jason Manford.
Just got my tickets for Avenged Sevenfold for January 2017!
Off to the BBC Proms David Bowie Tribute. Should be interesting. Amanda Palmer is one of the singers. One of the few if not only singer who made me cry in a crowded Leftfield tent with her beautiful lyrics.
