chrisp65 Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Ive spent a lovely few hours at this, because, well because it was free to be honest. No idea who almost any of the bands were but there were three or four stages so you could choose from 4 lads guitar band, lady with synth, folky fiddle and whistle, overly chatty dj. All rather grand and good value for money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Bit of a head scratcher. Bob Dylan has announced some dates in November, including 2 nights at Wolves civic. Surely he could play and fill the NIA??

tonyh29 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Suede and Manic Street preachers at Ally Pally last night , its a strange tour as they are alternating the stage order each night as its a joint headline tour we had Manics first , they were Ok , sorta played their hits , a minor upgrade on Coldplay in the dull insipid music stakes then Suede came on and just took it to another level , think that's the 6th or 7th time I've seen them and arguably their best live performance I'd hate to be in the MSP and have to come on after Suede on the alternate nights , I bet half the audience go home at that point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine if I tolerated that. that's a prime example , its just a dull dull song ..you wouldn't listen to it in the gym , your wouldn't listen to it in the car .... you'd probably play it in the old folks home after Sunday lunch to put them all to sleep if you worked there , that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 First non festival gig in a couple of months tonight. Graphic Nature in the Sal in Nottingham. Probably only 100 capacity, a range of proper ales on tap, and had a pint with the opening act before the show. Give me this over an arena gig any time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tonyh29 Posted July 28 Popular Post Share Posted July 28 Springsteen at Wembley last night not a huge fan but he gave a stomping 3 hour set and i reckon he’d have easily done another 3 hours if he’d been allowed his vocals compared to a lot of aging rock stars who have lost their voices , were incredible … loved that he makes it as much about the e-Street band as himself all in all worth seeing 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a huge Springsteen fan, but college friends and I were getting together in Chicago and it turned out he was playing there that weekend so we went. It was a fantastic show. I would never have seen him in concert if it wasn't for the circumstances, but I'm so glad I did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Seeing Springsteen last year at VP was great, but the sound let him down. My first concert at Villa Park and based on that, my last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were all glad they made that decision , he certainly exceeded expectation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNVillan Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I’m not much of a concert goer in general and haven’t been to one since I got sober last year, but the wife and I went to Blink 182 in Minneapolis two nights ago. I love Blink, and it was a great experience to see them live. Really liked that they played such a wide variety of their music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
