Some nice pictures there, fella!

 

Thank you brother. I hadn't had a seated ticket here before. Nice view even if you're not allowed to stand.

[Nice hymer]

Thanks for the Interpol feedback everyone, I'm seeing them at Bristol Beacon tonight.

 

Last year at o2 was amazing, great to see them back again and at a bigger venue. 

 

I'd love to see them as Woodsies headliner, they're perfect for it...

did anyone else catch October Drift on their tour ? close to selling out Scala an 800cap venue on tue night .... I saw them at Thekla and despite the album not grabbing me as the previous one did .... it still has  some outstanding tracks on it , they continue to be be one of the best live acts ive seen and they are guaranteed to get amongst the audience

Yes… managed to get to Scala..

A good 80 minutes+ set which really went down well…

the band looked thrilled with the size of gig and really put on a great show (as normal tbf)… I hope that this can be a springboard for them..

Ah amazing was so tempted to go to that one … even booked the time off but transport and accommodation proved a bit out my price range . Seen a few clips . If they don’t play Glastonbury next year I’ll be upset ( based on no knowledge I’ll clarify ) just seems a good time to return

I was wearing a Bearded Theory t-shirt on Tuesday and go chatting to a guy that used to compere the Woodland Stage their (no longer since they got taken over) and he is a big fan after seeing on his stage in ‘22 I think(?)….

 

if they don’t get bookings at a number of festivals next year their management wants firing…

The Libertines were great in Manchester tonight. Change the name of Avalon to Albion and stick them on on the Saturday night and that'll be that problem solved I reckon.

[Neverneverland]

Saw Interpol in Bristol tonight, absolutely blown away. 1st time I’ve seen them in 10 years and they were ace, that light show is nuts!

[NorthernSoul52]

Deep Purple had a lot of solos tonight.

Great gig but felt dangerously oversold before they came on. Thankfully some of the crowd ventured upstairs and there was a bit more space. 

 

But yeah, really good gig.

More on Deep Purple. Gillan took his time to swing in, but a set split between Mk. II and twenty-first century material meant after a rough Highway Star, he was far more comfortable. Still a sense he needs the rest of the band to carry him though.

I mentioned the oversold feeling on another forum. It always feels like that at Albert Hall when you're at a sold out gig but last night seemed worse than usual!
