Pulp at the O2. Absolutely magnificent, an honour & privilege to have been there. I’ve been to nearing a 1,000 gigs and that was up there with the best. Jarvis Cocker is magnificent.
I saw their Radio 2 session on iplayer, it was magnificent - left me wishing I'd tried to get tickets for the O2. A guy on BBC London this morning said he went, and that Jarvis' banter between the song is as good as the songs themselves, takes a bit of doing. Truly a top man.
I went to see ABBA Voyage on Saturday afternoon. I am not an ABBA fan but had heard great reviews of the show. I must say it was excellent. It looked like ABBA were actually there on stage. The place was packed with everybody dancing (I tapped my toe now and again). I would highly recommend going to see it.
Went yesterday great day out, beers and cocktails at the outside bar in the sun then the show which we thought was excellent, we got dance floor tickets which was really good and we was up the front. Wife and sister in law had a good dance together I was happy just enjoying the spectacle.
Saw Primal Scream a few weeks ago at Dreamland in Margate. I've seen them 5 times and this was by far the best. My god they were good, started off with a 15 minute version of Movin on Up which was almost religious. Great set and the band were spot on, tight as. Not even ruined by the odd downpour. Going to see Th Streets there in 2 weeks
I saw them at South Facing a few weeks back and they were shite. Bobby's voice was shot and live mix was a mush. He was waffling on, celebrating people on drugs, truly cringeworthy.
They can be hit or miss. Which was a bit my point - my god they were fucking brilliant on Margate.
My first proper gig were PS at Brixton Acad in '94. Noel Gallagher was the support act. They were ace that night, really blew me away. I've seen them few times in since and it feels like a slow death.
My first proper gig was Rush at Hammersmith Odeon in 1979. My god i feel old.
Still remember your old denim jacket....Rush, ACDC, Scorpions, Motorhead etc.

😂yes mate. I still have the photos to prove it. Very proud of the gigs I went to at such a young age. Not necessarily my look 😂
Went to both nights of Nine Inch Nails UK tours this week. Tuesday in Manchester and last night at the O2.
Amazing set-up going from solo acoustic on the piano in the middle of the arena with no lights or effects through to full on industrial metal assault on the main stage in a strobe lit cube. Also thrown into the mix was a rave/EDM section plus a load of deep cuts with a different set each night.
Next up Maiden at the Olympic Stadium next weekend then Sabbath/Ozzy in Brum the following weekend!
Fabulous show from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the Royal Albert Hall. More mellow than the old days, but a great show. Even some strings to add to the band's usual offering.
