Always been a massive fan, and this is my 3rd time seeing the reunited lineup.Axl’s voice does struggle in places but the energy and effort he puts in makes up for it. As a band they actually get better as it goes on. Ended up being a 3 hour set covering 30+ songs. They definitely try to give people their money’s worth.The only thing is that it means the show started at 7, whilst the stadium was still only half full.
Slash was incredible as usual. Doesn’t miss a beat.
Is your watch slow? 🤣
How was the sound? GnR at Tottenham couple of years back was atrocious0 -
Iron Maiden at our Olympic Stadium on Saturday were terrific.

Loathe the O2 Dome with a vengeance (although have been to some memorable gigs there). The whole thing stinks. Overpriced tickets, overpriced drinks, overpriced parking and then watching artists who you can often barely see.
On Tuesday, at the hall by the sea in Margate, we were a couple of yards from the stage. Even at the back downstairs at the Brixton Academy for Pixies 🧚♂️ there was loads more atmosphere (although having repeatedly show your ticket every time you returned from the foyer was a pain).
Next gig is Christone “Kingfish” Ingham in Kentish Town.
There are bars at the back and a toilet in the small room off the back of the auditorium.
There is also a "gents" on the left hand side as you look at the stage (towards the front).
You don't need to show your ticket at all if you exit the auditorium on the right hand side as you exit and go into the attached room with a bar and toilets.
You do need to show ticket every time if you exit via left side into auditorium.
I don’t understand why, once you go in through the initial security, which was greatly beefed up, you then have to have further checks - seems a little pointless. That’s said last time I went to Brixton was pre Covid - Mastodon - and overall I this time was far better organised after the reopening.
My favourite London venue is the Roundhouse - Saw Killing Joke
I prefer the better view at Brixton with the sloped floor.1 -
Duran Duran tonight with Nike Roger’s support…………..just let me staple the vicar……….we’re making love in a femidom 😎🤣🤣2

Saw Train at the Hammersmith Odeon (or Eventim Apollo, if you must). What a fabulous act they are. Impossible not to like.

Got to say, a magnificent gig at Musgrave Park last night.
Nike Rogers & Chic getting the crowd going and then Duran Duran smashing out hit after hit. They seemed to love it too, especially after they asked us to give them a rendition of Fields of Athenry. A night that will live long in the memory 🤩2 -

I was there as well for the 10th anniversary mate. I was wearing a Replay shirt Hard Core jeans and light blue Gazelles. Stood right out amongst the mohicans. I got right in the middle of it for the encores and surprised a few punks who were wondering who the soul boy casual was.0 -

Duran Duran were outstanding last night, as were Nile Rodgers/Chic.
Great sound quality at Chelmsford Racecourse, really surprised me.2 -

Can’t wait, shame about the weather.Bars were dreadful, ran out of stuff very early which added to queue time as well as slow staff.Fontaines were great but lower energy than the support. Had to move to back left for encore due to the single exit lane which didn’t help the vibe. Easy enough back to London Bridge and home though. Saw Maisie Adam, joey Page and heard aisling Bea there too. Also Stuart Pearce was behind us looking well!1

Anyone see some band called Black Sabbath yesterday? I can't see any threads on it.0

Was getting a lot of attention.1

If anyone is looking for something to do on Friday 22nd August. My band have just announced a gig in London with a limited amount of early bird tickets only £5. If there's enough Charlton there we may just have to play Tyreece Campbell live ;-) . For fans of Rock & Indie. Spotify: Simmons And The Stags

Bastille at The 100 Club last night were superb. The guys were so obviously delighted to be playing again and it really came across all night. Loved it. Give Liang Lawrence a listen too if you get a chance…really enjoyed her set.
