Upcoming live concerts.

Maiden is still a week away and - this being a ridonculous year for live music - I have Wilco, Billy Idol/New Model Army (don't laugh - it was a tenner for the ticket!) and Beth Gibbons in the meantime.

Duran Duran last night were superb - I got myself into the front row without any kind of stupid crush. Nile Rodgers and Chic supported and did an amazing one hour set - that guy deserved his Grammy Lifetime Recognition Award.
The only problem is Powderham Castle in Exeter as a venue. You have to walk a mile from the car parks to the venue and then it takes you around two hours to get out once you get back. Oh well, just a Careless Memory.

All about opinions but think Blur were better than Oasis!😂

They had the better songs and a better singer. Listening to Noel and Liam mangling lyrics make my skin crawl😁
I think Radiohead were better than either of them.

The Bends album dumps over anything Blur or Oasis recorded. I did like the debut Oasis album though - hate, hate, hate Parklife!

Saw Maiden in Birmingham last night.

The hottest gig I’ve ever been to, but also probably one of the best. When they played Seventh Son, it was as close to a religious experience as I think I’ll ever get.

Bruce can’t hit the high notes any more but my Lord, he still sounds fantastic.

An absolutely unforgettable night.

Anyone else going on this tour, you are in for an absolute treat. Set list is perfect and I really don’t know how they still do it at such a level in their late 60’s/early 70’s

Saw Maiden at London Stadium. They were excellent as usual - thought the new younger drummer (well, younger than Nicko anyway) enhanced the performance. As you said, how they can still do is the big question.

However, went with my brother and because he took my 10 year old nephew, we couldn't go on the pitch, so had to sit in the back corner. Not a great venue - I know it was an outdoor gig, so you are at the mercy of the elements but sound was a bit 'boomy' and it was difficult to pick out some of the guitar work under the main riff.

Also, for a new venue, badly designed that the station entrance appears to be on the other side of the shopping centre, so they make you walk miles to get to the tube station.
 
After seeing Stevie Wonder at Hyde Park I now have tickets for The Stereophonics in December to look forward to
 
Tonight me and the Mrs are joining my lad at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham for…now don’t scoff…Busted vs McFly

Not my era but I’ve heard quite a lot of the stuff both bands have done…and it’s good band pop. Besides…tickets are Promotor Guest best seats in the house and costing us nowt. It’s sold out so I’m expecting a fun evening.

Only downside is that we have a 3hr drive home from Nottingham after the concert as I’m playing in an ‘important’ club Am-Am tomorrow morning - doubt we’ll be home much before 3am.
