A bit more passionate than Hammers fans then!

….. clearly you weren’t there in WHU ‘s first year then…..! Plenty of “frank discussions” over that very thing.

 

PS Doobies at the O2 on Saturday night! V accomplished but the audio balance wasn’t right, at least where we were

Saw the Doobie Brothers last Thursday in Birmingham... and on Saturday at the London O2 Arena.

 

Simply fantastic.... consummate singers, musicians and performers.... and still putting most other acts to shame.

 

Wonderful!🎶👍😎

Tell me you don’t miss playing in a proper ground.

 

If Fulham left Craven Cottage that would be the end for me.

 

PS Saw the Doobies twice in 74. As with Springsteen I don’t dare go again, it couldn’t be the same…

Lee Ritenour at Band on the Wall - proper jazz-fusion royalty and no mistake. Munir Hossn playing some sort of singlecut six-string behemoth which I could not identify, and neither will you be able to from my terrible picture. 
 

 

Supported by Rosie Frater Taylor who rose to the challenge of holding the interest of a room full of (mostly) blokes who were there for Lee Ritenour with a solo set pretty well, I thought. Bonus artistic photo effect courtesy of my iPhone’s mind of its own.

Max Richter two weeks ago in Ravenna (IT) I'm usually a rock-punk concert goer and that was an incredible music experience for me.

Guns n Roses last night in Sofia Bulgaria. 

 

Absolutely superb!

Longshots in a pub carpark in East Manchester this afternoon. Bass player with a Capri Orange P and a fridge. Respect!

I thought he was in the Communards.

UK Subs on Friday evening at Wacken.  I was intending to watch Papa Roach but given the swamp in front of the stage and how far back I was I decided to see who else was on and stuck with them.  I enjoyed it more than Papa Roach to be honest even though I don't know any of their stuff.

I want to catch them while I can. My brother has been going to their concerts since the early 80s.

Saw the Daley-Crowe Blues Band in a pub garden in Bishops Castle on Sunday early eve...

It was their first gig, but you'd never know it - they were excellent.

Basically just blues covers with a couple of Hendrix and ZZ Top numbers but all played very well indeed. Though I knew they would, I used to be in band with Tim D and so was familiar with his guitar stylings!

Oasis at Wembley on Sunday .absolutely epic .

They’re a great band, I’m sure Charlie will be giving Keef a run for his money as he seems to be going on forever, and Alvin Gibbs on bass is simply immense.

I saw Lita Ford at KK's Steel Mill in Wolverhampton two weeks ago. She did her cover of the duet she did with Ozzy back in the day called If I Close My Eyes Forever the day after Ozzy died to a mainly West Midlands audience, that was emotional. 

 

Overall Lita still rocks and she rocks her red leather catsuit but he superpower seems to be spinning about 50 minutes of material out to 90 minutes. 

 

The highlight of the evening was her being joined on stage by Vixen to perform an all girls rendition of an old Runaways number. 

 

Vixen as a support band were very impressive and Ms Julia Lage (Mr R Kotzen's "other 'alf") on bass is quite the performer. Vixen is one of those bands from back in the day that has just one original member (the drummer) but it was good entertainment executed very well indeed.

I took my wife and daughter to see Wednesday 13 at the Tivoli in Buckley. 

 

Absolutely no my things but they put on a good show.  The In-House sound is atrocious though. The bass player's Stingray was unrecognisable as such.  Loads of mud and zero tone. 

The sound is always bad at the venue.

Extreme + Terrorvision at Halifax Piece hall.  Terrorvision always s great live bank.

Extreme still great aswell.

 

Bass player Pat Badger very underrated. Often overshadowed by Nunos virtuosity

Blimey! That’s a blast from the past. Clearly still remembered for more than More Than Words…😉

Last Thursday I saw Hawkwind at Chepstow Castle... epic.

 

A local band had a great extended spot in the crowded beer garden of the pub next to the Castle for the 2 ½ hours before the doors opened. 

 

Onebof my bands had that spot booked for next Thursday with Terrorvision at the Castle.

 

Our bl got a new job and neither of my other bands could make the afternoon setup time.

 

😭😭😭😭😭

I saw The Undead last night at Rebellion. 

Bobby Steele's band (ex Misfits guitarist)

They were great but the sound was a bit dodgy. 

Miffed there were no xxl shirts but never mind... adding his autograph to my misfits signature  tattoo today.

I've just watched Spunk Volcano and  The Eruptions play their last gig (hope it's not).

They were brilliant as ever and we've lost a real good gig band today. 

   May their XR3 take them to Platform 3 safely. 

[Lozz196]

Yeah I’m hoping at some point they’ll give it another go, firkin love my XR3!

PIL at Scarborough Spa, Friday evening. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance, support 'Trampolene' were great. 👍

Faithless at Lakefest last night. I was playing on the VIP stage after Reverend and the Makers’ main stage set - heard them but didn’t see them as the VIP stage was immediately behind one of the big screens flanking the main stage, so when you looked left from our stage you saw the huge crowd! After we’d packed down I went out front with Mrs Axe and our son and DIL and caught most of the Faithless set.

 

If I say I’d never seen or heard anything like it, it’s because I have close to zero experience of EDM. I was pleased to see a ‘real’ bass (some kind of J-type 5-string) and guitar (Jazzmaster) alongside drum kit, percussion, and keyboards (no doubt with sequencers). I have played Insomnia in a party band but didn’t recognise  the songs except for God Is A DJ and a cover of a Dido song. Some of the songs were accompanied by videos featuring a guy who wasn’t on the stage, and who I later found out was late member Maxi Jazz.

 

I have to say the performance was as tight as a very tight thing. Not my thing but I was glad of the experience.

Hawkwind at Castell Roc again. Wonderful venue for an amazingly fluent and confident band.
