Thanks to someone's post in the "What are you listening to" thread I got the double album Live From Dakota yesterday. I'm listening to it for the second time and it's just getting better and better. It's definitely a must have for every Stereophonics fan. The setlist, the voice, the music...you just don't want it to end! It ends, but with a perfect version of Dakota.

I'm so disappointed right now! After my first show in February I was thrilled to see Stereophonics again at the Main Square Festival in France.

After 45 minutes of waiting for the band to come up on stage, Kelly Jones came and announced that he will start alone with his guitare, and when a technical problem will be solved, the band will join him. That didn't happen...So Kelly played Maybe Tomorrow, Dakota, Have A Nice Day and Don't Let Me Down and left the stage, pissed off. And left the fans with nothing but frustration.

So I just decided to go to Rock En Seine, a rock festival in Paris, on August 28. Because I really want to see them again, and the 4 acoustic songs just make me want more.

Ah. thats a shame they didnt do the gig! Kelly could have given you a full acoustic gig though what a bore, i remember when i saw them in 2007 and he did the acoustic version of maybe tomorrow and it was absolutely brilliant!

I actually saw this band opening for Bon Jovi back in Hamburg 2001. They didn't make much of an impact on me then. (The other opening act did, though – Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes – especially when they, surprisingly enough, were joined by Jon and David for a few songs.)

Anyway, I sumbled upon a Stereophonics song a couple of weeks ago and picked up their greatest hits collection. It's pretty good and features some quality tunes, but I also find it repetitive and somewhat generic at times. Might give them a more thorough scan, I haven't decided yet. Kelly's voice is killer, obviously.

Loving their new song Indian Summer, fantastic lyrics, saw them live just last month and I reckon the albums going to a belter! Check it out, unlike a certain other song just released, you can see this easily being played acoustically.

Great band but totally lost their way with 3rd, 4 th and maybe 5 th albums.
Language and albums from then onwards are very good.
Seen them live and they are fantastic.
