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 - 9th June - Southampton St Marys Stadium - 7/10
Bon Jovi - 10th June - Milton Keynes Bowl - 10/10
Bon Jovi - 11th June - Milton Keynes Bowl - 9.5/10
Bon Jovi - 13th June - Hull KC Stadium - 5/10

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

Def Leppard et al was my latest show as well...

I thought CT played a long time (although we did miss most of the set)

Def Leppard were really good though!

And as it happens, my run of concerts has run out for now as well.

I have 2 Bruce concerts coming later this week :D

Kathleen

That's just bragging now isn't it :)

I saw Bruce in the beginning of May and it was good, it was very good! I don't normally like the type of music his latest album is but the concert was so good, and the atmospheare was great, only a few thousand people...

I've had Erie Canal playing in my head ever since :D

Def Leppard in London and they were ****ING AMAZING!!!!!!

First time I've seen them and I recommend them to anyone, even if you only know a few songs. They had so much energy and as a live act in general they were fantastic! (I'm tempted to say they were better than Bon Jovi....)

saw the Arctic Monkeys & Scissors for Lefty in Berlin last night.
Initially I only bought the ticket because it was cheap. The album is ok, but there are definitely much better ones out there.
Must say I really enjoyed the show, especially scissors for lefty were really really good. i think i'll buy their cd. the arctic monkeys were very arrogant, but played well and the sound was good too. i love the singers voice btw, esp. his accent :D

just one thing bothered me: they tuned their guitars after EVERY song. hello?! can someone please get the guys a guitar tech???

Rascal Flatts at Palace of Auburn Hills -Detroit

Bruce at Madison Square Garden and then again outdoors in the pouring rain last Sat night. I will be posting my recording of Madison Square Garden on dime as soon as I finish cutting it into tracks.

I have been a Bruce fan for most of my adult life and I enjoyed this Seeger Sessions stuff at the first concerts in Asbury Park. Unfortunately, the material does not hold up over multiple concerts. The concerts were very repetitive simply because this band does not know the backlog of songs that the E Street Band does and therefore the setlists were pretty static.

Robbie Williams - really, really good. He gives an amazing show and he has a brilliant voice. Good interaction with the crowd aswell. As I didn't have the new album yet, I was glad he still played a lot of the old stuff.

went to the edgefest in toronto on saturday.
keane were great as always, i just wished they'd have played more old stuff and less of the new songs. but it was still really good.
i got to meet Neverending White Light and the singer of Our Lady Peace took me on stage, where I stayed until the end of the concert :D

Great night :D

Haven't been to a gig in a while *sobs*

cold reign

I'm seeing Billy Joel on the 22nd, let me know what you think!

ok no probs cant wait to see him that guys a legend

She was on my flight home from Dublin last night .. her band are cute :p

I agree! I've been waiting years to see him. I couldn't believe it when he announced his retirement, I'm glad he is back.

wow really? :D
yeah, her guitarist is cute!

i hope hes still sounds as good live as he used to be

i have a VHS of him and garth brooks in New York and hes amazin

I saw Guns N' Roses a week ago. Was better than I excepted, was a great show actually.

i seen one of there performances on youtube and it was shit

then at download festival with sebastien bach axl was amazing

hes still a prick though

Yeah it varies from show to show. I heard some songs at one of the Hammerstein shows and it didn't sound really good. Nijmegen however, did sound good, check youtube. And he was only one hour late ;).

ONLY lol hes still a twat

Red Hot Chili Peppers with ! ! ! supporting

Damn good performance, some of the best jamming I've ever seen, fantastic levels of musicianship, bit short though (1 hour 55 minutes), bit predictable setlist, and a bit too much of a casual crowd, the only real jumping around was to By The Way.

I really need to get round to writing proper reviews of all the gigs I've been to over the last couple months
