Mark Lanegan solo tour

[bouncingflea]

I'm at Scala tonight too From the clips and setlists I've seen so far its going to be a good one!

[Steve P]

My god was he brilliant last night, that voice of his is a thing of pure beauty. I'd not been to the Scala before, nice venue. Can't put in to words quite how much i'd love to see him close a stage at Glastonbury, still I can dream.

I caught him in Nottingham on monday night. Fan of 20 years. Dissapointing set list. The man's nevertheless made out of soul.

[bouncingflea]

Yeah was excellent, 6th time I have seen him over the years and I think that was the best one!

Mark Lanegan Band album and tour revealed - best news i've had in months

Saw this today aswell. Mint bit of news.

Acadamy in Dubland is a right old stinker of a venue though.

[Wooderson]

Paradiso in Amsterdam however.

Yummy.

[Wooderson]

Def gonna check a couple of these shows. The Dam, Dubland and Belshaft all in the mixer for me. Think the tour-ender in Barca could be a worldie.

Having seen the tics and shakes from him on the last tour in 2010, I really can't see him going on and on. His health is just deteriorating.

"OH LORD PLEASE GIMME WHAT AAAAAH NEEEED..."

Blues Funeral. What a cool name for a Lanegan album.

[Steve P]

Got tickets for the London gig - shame it's as Shepherds Bush as it's an arse to get to. Still should be brilliant. Can't wait for the new album

[Steve P]

Great single definitely!

Jack Irons (ex-Pearl Jam) on drums sounds great too.

[The Nal]

Great B-Side!!

[Steve P]

Great B-Side!!

It's a beauty isn't it. I got a copy of it a while back now as I think it was on the soundtrack of a computer game. Really can't wait for the new album, been listening to Bubblegum loads lately just to amp up the anticipation.

Just back from his show in Bristol. Excellent performance again. Quite different from his last tour. I urge anyone who can to go and see him on his remaining dates.

[The Nal]

Going on Wednesday!

[Steve P]

A week tomorrow

[frankblack]

Going to Glasgow on Friday. Looking forward to a full-band show.

Fantastic gig last night. New stuff is great. Bleeding Muddy Water being my favourite both live and on the album.

Got a load of great older tunes too - Hit the City, One Hundred Days, Resurrection Song, Wedding Dress, One Way Street, Methamphetamine Blues. His voice sounded great. Really warmed up after 3-4 songs. He even said "Thank you, thanks for coming out" at one stage and was signing records at the merch stand after the gig!

Tuesday is going to be brilliant

My other half got me Screaming Trees - Last Words for my birthday. They were a brilliant band. She also got me the Chris Cornell live solo album - what a f#cking voice!

Methamphetamine Blues was absolutely stunning in Bristol. Cracking show. He did the merch signing thing as well.

Lanegan is all over the soundtrack to Lawless. Link Wrays Fire and Brimstone gets a right going over as does White Light/White Heat. Really good singing from the great man. Slightly out of his comfort zone too.

Had time for Blues funeral to settle, and unfortunately I don't think it holds up to repeated listens as well as some of his earlier work. Its a good Lanegan album, but not a great Lanegan album

Agree.

Great thing about him though is that he keeps moving, keeps doing different things and keeps us interested.
