Upcoming live concerts.

Going to see the remaining members of The Jackson's at Newmarket at the end of June then Passenger at Kew Gardens the week after
 
Robbie Williams and Erasure at the Ricoh in Coventry on the 13th to look forward to. My wife has backed out due to Manchester bombing. I'll have to try and sell on her ticket.
 
Just booked Erasure myself - that will take me to double digits seeing them since 1989.

British American Football final in the mid 1990s - I'm doing the live commentary - chatting beforehand on the sideline to someone I thought was one of the coaches. Then I hear ..."to sing the national anthem, Jermaine Jackson"... he says "sorry, back in a minute" - goes off - sings the Star Spangled Banner and then comes back to continue the conversation. And I had no idea who he was to the delight of the camera crew.
 
looks like I'm going to see Showaddywaddy at the Alexandra theatre in Birmingham.

looking at Paul Carrack at Birmingham Symphony Hall, or ABC at Nottingham Royal Concert Hall
 
Went to see Phil Collins on Friday night with the Mrs, although Phil had to remain seated throughout the show he had the arena bouncing towards the end. I was quite sceptical beforehand but ended up having a really good night.

Looking forward to Kings Of Leon on Friday in the MEN now!
 
Mmm was really weak when I saw him on the tv earlier in the year. Did he get behind the tubs at all?
He didn't, apparently he's had an operation on his back recently. He left drums to his 16 y/o son who wasn't too shoddy either.

I seen him on tv myself and that was the reason I was a bit worried, but if Friday night is anything to go by the rest of the tour should be a success mate.

Dillinger Escape Plan this Thursday in Belfast. They're doing a final tour of the world before breaking up and I'm glad this is my second time seeing them on this tour. Probably the best live act I've seen. Not many bands come close to their intensity on stage, they've lost many members of the band due to injuries received on stage and it's not uncommon for the singer to be bleeding at the end of a gig.
 
Not sure if I'll be going - but at end of the month my lad's band are supporting Code Orange - a top Hardcore Metal band who recently opened for System of a Down. If you know - you'll know my lad might just be getting somewhere with his band, Anyway. I'll not put my house on it - he's already cost me a fortune.
