Reliving my youth

[MarkA]

Saw Asia at Shepherds Bush Empire, and was surprised how good they still are. Youtube does not do them justice. New guitarist brings down the average age though !!!

I go every time they tour in the UK - they are da little different without the Steve Howe sound The tracks from the first couple of albums are absolute fantastic live and loud - takes me back to being 20 years old again - Love it. the funny thing is you look at the audience and you think everyones quite old and then you think christ, so am I ! Who cares its great escapism!

I've consoled myself with a ticket for Lynyrd Skynyrd next April at the Hammersmith Odeon. I'll keep an eye out on the O2, they are becoming notorious for holding back tickets, the Bryan Adams ones were found 10 days before on something that had supposedly been sold out, the best (worst?) one was the O2's opening night with Bon Jovi; sold out for months, bought direct from them on the Saturday morning for the Sunday night…...

Not a bad consolation it has to be said.

All this talk of Fleetwood Mac has ended up with my neighbours listening to The Green Manalishi (with the two prong crown) after a blast of Oh Well.......parts 1 and 2!!

Musicianship of the highest order..........hopefully the neighbours agree.

I went with my 20 year old daughter, and she loves them as well. She did reduce the average age a fair bit. Foreigner still her favourite.

Not sure how i would describe them, but sort of Indie, grunge, Goth... Pop will eat itself, though are just pop..... beaver patrol!!

Did I read somewhere Christine McVie has reunited with Fleetwood Mac. Would love to see the classic line up play

 

[Paul_Stewart]

The other female member of Fleetwood Mac was once married to the original Captain Kirk. She was known as Stevie Shatner Nicks.

I'll get my coat.

I saw Fleetwood Mac a couple of years back. Pay the money, they were outstanding! They even played a couple of numbers from the Peter Green era, big thumbs up from me; as near a 10 out of 10 gig as you'll get imo. Fantastic gig. :thup:

Good, Im going to see them in Manchester next June, looking forward to it.

Yes Homer, back after a very long break from them. 17 years?

Shame. Seen the prices and a bit pricey. Tempted mind. Buy now and deal with the wrath of HID later????

They've already added 2-3 new dates even this week, so possibly more to follow.

You're not helping! Credit card quivering in the wallet as I type.

When does he ever? Sadly he has a point, checked some of the available seating for Fleetwood Mac tonight & might succumb.

Bryan Adams was excellent tonight, anyone who was thinking about it get a ticket for Wembley next week, well worth it.

"The Canadian Government has apologised for Bryan Adams on many previous occasions". The best line of the whole South Park saga.

Went to see Genesis 3 times when they reformed for their world tour in 2007. All the gigs were superb but the Rome one was something special, I'm in the official dvd as well as an added bonus :thup:

I was at the Katowice gig, it rained all night long but we had a great time.

 

[Tarkus1212]

Over the last few years I've been to gigs by Keith Emerson (with The Nice) ; Greg Lake; Carl Palmer; Genesis; Yes; and The Stranglers. Currently got tickets for The Shires and Ward Thomas in Milton Keynes this week; Brit Floyd in Cambridge next Month; and the Australian Pink Floyd in Cambridge next March.

Sorry but nothing will beat Pink Floyd at Earls Court and the whole of Dark Side live

Was that the gig were part of the seating collapsed? All because "we don't need no educashun" and they built it badly?

Nope. I was there a few nights later. Best gig I've been too by miles

Had a right gud natter last night with someone who is associated with UB40 (Ali Campbell's UB40). Mentioned about some interesting times ahead. Said Sinead Oconnor had been mentioned and said her voice was fantastic.

Grebo Pop !!!! Beaver Patrol is a classic !!! The others would probably fall under the "goth" category although are mainly guitar based goth rock !!!
