šŸ—£ Gigs

Another superb Killers gig.

Recommend the Zenith venue in Paris. Our hotel is a 10 minute walk from it. Think we may do a few more citybreak/gigs in the future.

About 15 years ago a local pub put on a concert which attracted about 100 people.

It was The Christians. They were as good unplugged as their album (s).

They are in town tonight. I am going.

Canā€™t wait

Goosebumps & lost voice already ffs

He sounds just the same

Any of you fuckers chaperone an old chap for the Field Music gig at The Engine Rooms. tonight?

Look for a silver-haired gent walflower nursing a pint of Creme de Methe Frappe and wearing a Sotonian badge.

Did my first ever solo gig a few months ago. Despite all my fears, no one really seemed to care or give a fuck I was there on my own. I bopped away at the back having a pleasant time. Sad as it sounds, I was proud of that little milestone.

Anyway, back to my ā€˜Gig-Junkieā€™ best next week. Fever Ray & Young Fathers (separate gigs) at the Roundhouse. Then Hookworms on my bday.

Laaaarvely.

Belated, but this was bloody amazing. Even if the o2 is the biggest pile of wank ever.

Iā€™m used to it @krg_ ā€¦most of my mates have never heard of most of my favouritesā€¦theyā€™re still insisting thereā€™s no good music made after 1975. :lou_facepalm_2:

Iā€™ll be doing it plenty in the future Iā€™m sure. Better that than miss out on gigs Iā€™d otherwise really enjoy.

Anyone else waitied until The Stones came a bit nearer before getting tickets?

Iā€™m looking forward to a trip to SMS to watch a bunch of over-the-hill millionaires being paid ridiculous sums of money on the account of past glories, before they inevitably move onto the next payday at another stadium, without a second thought for those left behind to clear up the mess.

Itā€™ll make a nice change.

250 quid to see The Stones?

Iā€™m out.

The stones gigs are pricey. I got some for my parents at St Maryā€™s. They donā€™t go out much at all so I think they may as well push the boat out a bit.

Just booked tickets for The Decemberists in November in London.

Currently trying to persuade a mate to come see them again at The Paradiso in Amsterdam. A great venue.

Worth the price though. Will not be round much longer.

Saw them in Abu Dhabi they were superb. At one point with a family next to us there were Grandkids, kids, parents and grandparents aged from 6 to 80.

Proper must see at least once band. And boy did we sing along.

Their Poland gig sold out in 18 seconds apparently

Now have tickets for SMS as well as Twickers

Anyone want the Twickers tickets?

My partnerā€™s seen them a few times. We saw them at Glastonbury. Well I heard them as the crowd was rammed near us so I mainly saw the backs of people. We have tickets for the Olympic stadium so I might get to see Jaggerā€™s moves.

Hmmmmā€¦

Let me check dates flights and an excuse for a work trip

For what itā€™s worth, I saw the Stones at Isle of Wight festival a few years back and it was mightily dissapointing. One of the most dissapointing gigs Iā€™ve ever seen. Possibly a one off but I got the impression only really hardcore Stones fans enjoy them these days, if you are casual like me you find it all a little embarrasing.

I would also give the exact same review about Iggy Pop. Also at Isle of Wight festival. Maybe Iā€™m agesit. Or the Isle of Wight festival is crap.

It never used to be. :lou_wink_2:
