Heh I was wearing one til Nickelback were on, yeah

I saw you then , I wasnt 100% sure that why i didnt go up to you . I mean how would it have looked if it wasnt you haha

:icecream: The last live act I saw was The Milton Keynes show on the 10 june 2006. It was awesome! Bon Jovi Rock

Just got back from seeing Tool, was good even though I only knew three songs ... Might write a review at some point, but don't hold your breath ... still got to write ones for GnR and both Bon Jovi shows as well!

4 gigs out of 6 down in my 12 Days of Rock!

Foo Fighters at Hyde Park with Motorhead, Queens Of The Stone Age, Angels And Airwaves and Juliette & The Licks

As a whole day it was great, five really good bands. Will do a proper review later ... all these reviews I'm promising should be here next week, promise! Foos put on a hell of a performance ... joined by Lemmy for a performance of the Probot song Shake Your Blood, and Brian May and Roger Taylor for some of We Will Rock You, and Tie Your Mother Down sung by the Foos drummer Taylor Hawkins. All of which was indeed very cool, but was somewhat overshadowed by the otherwise incredibly predictable setlist (all the hits, nothing off the first album, In Your Honour the only album track) and the fact that they only played for AN HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES!! If you're gonna headline Hyde Park, you gotta play for longer than that!

Bon Jovi - 7th June - Coventry Ricoh Stadium - 8/10

Bon Jovi - 10th June - Milton Keynes Bowl - 10/10

BRING ON GIANTS!!

Def Leppard yesterday @ Sheffield Hallam Arena.

Quality show, not quite as good as Bon Jovi, but to be expected with a smaller venue I guess, still top atmosphere, dunno why they opted for an indoor event... support was crap though.

Southside Johnny at BB Kings Jazz Club in NYC. It's a very small supper club type venue - perfect for SSJ's type of music. Bobby and Jeff were back playing since Bon Jovi's European tour is over. I must say that the new guitarist that has been playing with the band since Bobby has been on tour is FAR better than Bobby will ever be. His name is Ricky Byrd and he rocks. Jeff is an excellent keyboardist though. Some of you may know that SSJ's entire horn section is on tour with Bruce as part of the Seeger Sessions Band. So the quote of the night was:

"My horns are on tour with that other guy - singing polly wolly doodle all the god damn day. :)

I recorded this and as soon as I can cut up the tracks I'll post it on dime. I doubt that the sound will be great as the venue sound had almost no separation and was pretty dead.

As far as I'm concerned very few put on as good a live show as Southside and if you ever have the chance to see him and the band you should.

Def Leppard, Cheap Trick and Sensational Alex Harvey Band at Hammersmith Apollo last night. Quick reviews:

SAHB - Awful
Cheap Trick - Started off a bit iffy, got really good by the end though ... played slightly too long however I reckons
Def Leppard - Great! But a bit too short set ... only an hour and a half

And so my run of gigs comes to an end :( Time to start writing some reviews and getting on with real life!

Saw DL at Sheffield on Saturday...

Wernt they??!!! I thought CT were never gonna get off the stage!! DL were great, a brilliant end to a pretty crap week for me really. I agree they didnt seem to be on for that long, only disappointment is that they didnt play my fave song Have you ever needed someone so bad. The encore was great though, when love and hate colide followed by sugar finished the gig on a high. The cover songs went down really well too, esp 20th Century boy. Def one il be seeing again
