all at a radio station Christmas show last night.

Snow Patrol at G Mex last night, just down the road from where I'd seen them earlier this year. Very good, as usual. This was the first time I'd seen them in a large venue and I've gotta say I think they do better with a more intimate crowd. The sound wasn't so good on a few songs which annoyed me and they still don't play enough old songs. Still, we got Starfighter Pilot and You Are My Joy which, even though nobody else knew, I thought were fantastic.

IRON MAIDEN - Absolutely awesome. Of course the music and performances were top notch, the show itself was also fantastic ... the set was great, having even the roadies dressed in combat gear was a masterstroke! And the tank at the end of the main set, brilliant.

There was also a technical difficulty in the middle of the show where the main power cable for the building caught fire and melted! So the entire sound system had to be turned off for about 20 minutes. While some other bands (*cough*Placebo*cough*) might have just left the stage, Maiden did their best to keep us entertained without sound, with Bruce finding a megaphone and leading us through singalongs of various Christmas songs :D

Did they play all of Matter of Life & Death again? They did that when I saw them a month ago anyway. Thought it was a pretty courageous thing to do, playing all new songs first. The audience didn't seem to pickup the new songs as well as the older ones, which was a pity. But the crowd exploded when they started Fear o/t Dark. I really enjoyed Maiden this year, but liked them better when they mixed up the older & new songs :).

That was a very neat way to handle the sound problems btw; that's what I like about Maiden, they just know how to keep a crowd entertained :).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that they've been playi ng AMoLAD in its entirety for the whole tour. It actually worked better than I expected, and actually, thinking back on it, the sound problem actually helped to break it up a bit

I saw a band called the Saturns last night and from what I remember, they were very good. I was plastered though, so my judgement could be very dodgy in this instance, but I do remember that the guitarist only had half of one hand!! He played well still, though.

Hardcore Superstar, again in their hometown. Amazing as always, though I have some complains about the set.

Last gig I was at was Jay-Z in Glasgow.

I'm not really a fan but my mate had a ticket goin spare, so just went along.

i think the last one i went to was Stabilo in Toronto in december.
The one before that was a really awesome SLOAN show at the end of november :D
