I was at this around the same time. Think you can even hear me laughing in delight when he announces it. Sweden a great place to see Bruce btw. Rock show. Echo this. Gothenburg #2 last year strangely ranks bottom of my Springsteen gig list - done five - but that's like saying your bar of gold isn't as good as your other bars of gold because it is a bit dusty.

A very good performance, with some excellent atmospherics to feature, but the venue remains a problem when a gig is at capacity. There's going to be a crush there one day. When I went to see Darius Rucker there, it was uncomfortably overly full. Someone did actually tweet Darius just before the show started and was called out by him from the stage for moaning about a sold out gig, which wasn’t great from Darius.

Poor form from the artist, that. Genuine concerns to be had. They should have downstairs capped at 1,500, then 2,000 for the whole joint. From an artist's perspective, it'll still be packed up to the overhang, and you can't see beyond that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted Thursday at 08:43 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:43 AM Becky Hill last night in Leeds was a bit undernourished. Live drums, horns and strings, but think everything else was on tape, and she looked a bit lost on stage at various points. Surprised she sold out the arena.

ClementsMike Posted yesterday at 09:07 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:07 AM Saw Weller in Cheltenham last night. Last week I saw Dee C Lee at Koko and she had Mick Talbot and Steve White with her, so essentially Ive seen the Style Council in the last ten days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Alice Cooper is still reliably daft fun these days. If anyone is off to the tour closers in London - I assume they're sold out, but you never know - then it is a hoot, especially if you can get tix on the relative cheap side. Unlike some other acts with a triple-guitar attack, there isn't too much difference in tone among his players, but nor is every song flattened into one sound. The gimmicks remain great fun though. A bit pared back from previous years, but still immensely silly. Took a mate who's never really listened to Cooper along - ended up with a spare literally the hour before - and he had a blast. Bought his first ever tour shirt at a gig, he loved it that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mufcok Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I'm having a bit of a gig lull at the moment, which is rare for me. Seeing Fontaines four times before the end of the year though (I know, I know); Madrid, Manchester x2, Dublin. Cannot wait, off the back of that Park Stage set. Also really looking forward to watching Royel Otis again. Caught them a few months back and they were brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casuals would probably know 3 or 4 songs and even if they didn't it's still very entertaining. Can't see it happening though given Eavii's obvious reluctance to book classic rock (apart from the odd one now and again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first gigs I ever attended was AC at Greens playhouse ( became the Apollo )Glasgow, 1972. Absolute bedlam, folk standing on balcony parapet, rows of seats reduced to firewood, Alice just lapping up the crazy pissed up audience, most were more drunk than he was. Air thick with fag and dope smoke. A nice evening’s entertainment for this impressionable schoolboy ! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
