casapete Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Just a heads up for a couple of things on Sky Arts today (Sunday 31st Jan)), channel 11 Freeview. At 5pm till 8pm there is Rush : Time Machine Live in Cleveland 2011. Not my thing but know there’s a lot of fans of the band on here. Then from 9pm to midnight there is The Eagles : Live from the LA Forum concert, from 2018. This was on recently in case you missed it. Cheers.

AndyTravis Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Bah. I’ll be out at 5 collecting my oldest daughter from her mum. And we’ve got rid of Virgin now so don’t have a record facility. Knew I should’ve kept that DVD-R machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get snippets between Fireman Sam, Hey Duggie and the bloody Octonoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I bought my wife tickets for The Eagles at Wembley last August, it's been rescheduled for this August but I doubt that'll happen either. It looks like this will have to suffice for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Vince Gill, great singer and no slouch in the guitar stakes either. Also Steuart Smith on guitar is fantastic too, and Joe Walsh his usual brilliant self. Wasn’t sure if the vocals were a bit too good to be true in places (?) but overall thought it was a great performance.

Andermtc Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Probably not well known to many but they had the Runrig farewell concert on there last night, well worth a watch on catch-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a dumb question, but when you can only watch Sky Arts stuff via Freeview channel 11, am I right in thinking there's no way of accessing any catch up facility?

madshadows Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I watched the Eagles show the other night and it was terrific, Deacon Frey and Vince Gill fitted in perfectly I thought, Deacon looks a lot like his dad when Glen was younger, great show, I already had the CD so it was cool to see the actual show on TV John 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Caught a little bit of the Eagles but wasn’t really in the mood, so watched the Rush, which I’d recorded. Found it quite moving tbh. I discovered Rush at a relatively optimistic time in my life, after a very, very bad one, and certain tracks always remind me of that sense of optimism. And although I grew away from them in later years, knowing that Neil is no longer with us and the band no longer exists is very sad.☹️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskwave Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Speaking generaly have to say Sky Arts on Freeview is so re-freshing, so many good little programmes, and yes the eagles were really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was a cut down 'highlights' version of the 3hr show you can buy on DVD, the 3hr DVD being an amalgamation of the 2 nights, although still 2 songs missing. I'm still gutted I couldn't attend the shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Another +1 here for the Eagles L.A. Forum concert, I recorded this last year when Sky Arts first showed it. As a long-time fan of The Eagles, Vince Gill and Joe Walsh (right back to his James Gang days) this was very much up my street. There's so much good stuff on Sky Arts, it's one of my fave channels. I recorded the Jethro Tull documentary the other night which I still need to watch, plus the Runrig farewell show and the Rush gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I watched Otis Redding last night and Runrig a day or so before that. I have Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, James Taylor, Cream and several others on the hard drive waiting. I hate to praise anything to do with Rupert Murdoch, but Sky Arts is a gold mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I’d never heard of Runrig before the weekend just gone but watched some if it and quite liked it. I agree, Sky Arts is a def gold mine - especially for people like myself who don’t have anything other than terrestrial TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched The Last Dance on Sky Arts, amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
