Apparently (according to search results) Thundercat is somewhere in the iPlayer footage. Top prize goes to whoever can find it.

I saw the full show at the RFH a week or two ago. Utterly absorbing and overwhelming.

Porcupne Tree continuing to tour with NO bass player
toneknob replied to leroydiamond's topic in General Discussion
Agree no Colin = no PT but they have recorded a live album from the recent tour and I bet that was all on a click. Godspeed to Nate though, what a player. -
organic artisan-sourced chips though

They were on at Glastonbury when I was there in 1998. If I saw them I have no recollection of it 🥴

I think these days all tall flags are required by law to get as close as possible to the sightlines between all TV cameras and any band members currently on stage.

I'm hoping Elton and Axl revisit their landmark Bohemian Rhapsody duet first seen at the Freddie Mercury tribute gig in 1992

Couple of gig reviews here: https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/blogs/peter-gabriel-o2-arena-london-june-19-2023-142862/ https://thequietus.com/articles/33075-peter-gabriel-live https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/24/peter-gabriel-review-haunted-new-songs-have-fans-punching-the-air https://www.ft.com/content/888582e4-8ec9-47dd-b162-13be10e9b997 ("There was nothing by Genesis". lol)

No problem sound-wise at the London show, but these enormodomes can be patchy depending on where you're sitting. I've spotted Tony Levin's road diary is now updated for UK shows - lots of great photos and info here. https://tonylevin.com/road-diaries/peter-gabriel-io-tour/

Yep, the whole band are having a great time. Great to see some newbies in the line-up, while at the same time as well as TLev, you've got David Rhodes and Manu Katche who were in the band when I first saw them in 1987 (and from years before then as well). Ayanna Witter-Johnson did a great job of duetting with PG on Don't Give Up. Also for time-perspective I am closer to being 77 than I am seeing Peter Gabriel live for the first time

Tony Levin with Peter Gabriel at The O2 last night. Also featured: DarkRay bass (switched red for Red Rain of course), NS upright, Chapman Stick, backing vocals, dance moves, on-stage ad hoc photography Tony Levin is 77 years old *doffs chapeau*

Turns out Jah Wobble runs a jam night in a south-west London library. who knew! It's called Tuned In, and aims to bring people together to make music regardless of ability and to help combat the effects of loneliness in some parts of the community. Some of the sessions have already happened, some are still to come in July.

I can do better than that, I've been in a zero-hit band. Actually loads of them!

A bit more gold from some digging I've been doing with the aid of the excellent fan site http://simpleminds.org/ If you look on Spotify for Simple Minds' collections of B-sides and rarities called "Themes", on volumes 3 and 4 you'll find the following from the mid/late 80s all featuring John Giblin on bass: the set mentioned above from Mandela 70 at Wembley, plus live versions of Big Sleep, Love Song, Street Hassle, Don't You Forget About Me, Glittering Prize and Celebrate. album links: https://open.spotify.com/album/6cKFO2yBr7H30iYq5U9paP?si=f3BxA09DSja7eyTWp8I5ig https://open.spotify.com/album/16O1Tyl1qsmf26bEj3N6y3?si=pXbo0jnDQ6Om_z7uNyUvzw

Mike Joyce was on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about Andy Rourke. Segment starts around 8.42am. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001m6qy/breakfast-20052023

From the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/19/andy-rourke-bassist-for-the-smiths-dies-aged-59) "(Johnny) Marr’s tribute continued: “Watching him play those dazzling basslines was an absolute privilege and genuinely something to behold. But one time which always comes to mind was when I sat next to him at the mixing desk watching him play his bass on the song The Queen is Dead. It was so impressive that I said to myself ‘I’ll never forget this moment.’" Bit dusty in here.

Another sad loss this week. It seems like only yesterday this came bursting out of my AM radio.
