EpworthOwl Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Not everyone's cup of tea but went to see P!nk at Hyde Park yesterday. Mrs Eppers Christmas present. The show was outstanding and Pink doing high wire stuff, hanging upside down and acrobatics on ropes whilst not dropping a note was a site to behold.

80s Owl Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 On 26/06/2023 at 09:36, Hirstys 12th Pint said: I understand the criticism of the the Monkeys performance but they are not the same band that released the first album as 18 year olds singing about going out on a night out. If they had not developed or changed direction they would not be where they are now. All the top top bands evolve with their sound over time - The Beatles and U2 are good examples. Other than only playing 2 from the first album it was a great set list including 4 brilliant new songs. The new album is exceptional. For me its more about the style with everything slowed down that affects the live performance in comparison to other Glasto headline slots they have had. There is a severe lack of ooomph and feel most sorry for Matt Helders who is obviously having to tone down his own performances to keep in time with the others. Don't think the fact Alex had laryngitis in the week helped and think that toned it down a bit more. Still musically very good though. I fully agree with this, I did struggle with the new album but having seen the tracks played live it's totally grown on me now, you can guarantee if they'd carried doing albums in the style of the first one they be being accused of being one trick ponies by the very same people that are slating them for changing.

They would not have headlined three Glastonbury's if style did not change, or possibly reached the number of albums they have. Would be like a better version of The Reytons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I saw The Cult at Scarborough the other night. Lots of ageing goths isn't a pretty sight. Tbf Ian Astbury was in fine voice and Billy Duffy was always a cracking guitarist. Wayne Hussey of The Mission looks better these days than he did in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp at the Arena on Friday, can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BraddersTim Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 James at Piece Hall Halifax last Friday night, superb gig. Had 2 good supports , Tom A Smith (I think) - good young band and he's clearly going places and Jamie Webster, Scouse singer/acoustic singing socially aware stuff, not as awful as it sounds tbh. James themselves were just great, such a fluid visual band and they played a great mixture of old album stuff and the hits. Outside in the evening sun, just a really good night. They played 2 nights and the following night was when the heavens opened, they had storms and had to stop the set for 30 minutes - luckily we didnt get any of that. A word for the Piece Hall - what a stunning venue it is, if you get a chance to see a band you like there I'd urge you to go. The money spent on the refurb of the place has been spent well. Also it's organised so well, no long queues for drinks/loos etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpworthOwl Posted Thursday at 17:11 Author Share Posted Thursday at 17:11 Went up to Edinburgh last month to watch the Killers. They can rock a venue. The show was brilliant with great bangs and lights at the end. Brandon Flowers is fantastic live. Johnny Marr backed them up. He's a miserable sod. Anyway he came on with the Killers and they did a fantastic version of This Charming Man. A great band live if you get the chance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl71 Posted Saturday at 23:10 Share Posted Saturday at 23:10 Saw The Cult at the City Hall when I was 16. It was the second gig I went to. Think Ian Astbury’s voice was okay that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
