Upcoming gigs?

[Sylar]

Death Cab for Cutie are playing the Usher Hall next March - definitely going to try and get tickets for this - they're also playing the Barrowlands but I'd rather see them at the UH.

It's no exaggeration to say that Ben Gibbard's daily live videos from his home studio during the start of Covid-19 and the lockdown period genuinely saved my life. They gave me something to look forward to at the end of each day, rather than focussing on the same non-existence that would follow the same day (in my head anyway).

I've been a fan since You Can Play These Songs with Chords but I've never seen them live before.

Butler, Grant and Blake played one of his songs last night at the QH.

Me and Magdalena? (one that he wrote for, or was covered on, the last Monkees album).

He wrote it for them - for the Good Times album. His skill as a songwriter and storyteller are quite exceptional.

If anyone's interested, I'd genuinely recommend his 'Live From Home' videos on Youtube - his ability to put on a show with just a guitar or piano and his voice blew me away. Spent many a night during lockdown in tears watching him perform live. Would love the chance to properly thank him!

Back from Lindisfarne festival yesterday. Amazing weekend with great people, food and music. Would recommend but you definitely need to go with an open mind

Giving serious consideration to reliving my youth and going to see Jim Bob from Carter USM at Drygate next month. Loved them when I was 15. Not 15 anymore, of course. I'd imagine all of the audience will be in the same boat.

How was Gabriel’s? Heard it was an amazing show but very short?

It was barely an hour. I guess they don't have enough material yet to do longer, which maybe explains the choice of SWG3 as a venue.

Technically, they were excellent. Jacob is such an incredible singer and showman, and the rest of the band were superb. But I felt something was missing... I can't decide what though!

As they develop their material and stage act, hopefully that will change.

Actually just googled it and suppose it would be fun if you like them, a bit like seeing bootleg beatles when you can't see the real band.

But a bit like the Tupac show I think it's a bit of a cheek charging full price for watching basically a TV show (hologram). Is this the way music is going, go to a room anywhere in the world or put on your virtual reality and watch a band play. More of a show that a gig, but if it's enjoyable who cares I suppose

Was at the Enemy at the O2 Academy last week. They were only on stage for 65-70 minutes but battered through 17 songs. They were superb.

Then last night saw Paolo Nutini at the same venue. He was absolutely top drawer.
Can tell he’s maybe bored with some of his earlier stuff tho. Didn’t do last request and then done rearranged versions of pencil full of lead, new shoes, Jenny don’t be hasty and Candy. Was on for pretty much 2 hours and came out for the encore with the whole band dressed as Ghostbusters, sang ghostbusters and was joined by the Marshmallow man. [emoji23]

It was a fantastic gig. I agree about Serge though I spoke to a lot of people afterwards who disagreed. “Nowhere near as good without Tom”, “he’s not a front man”, “too rocky now” (wtf?), “probably my least favourite Kasabian gig”, “Tom’s solo gig in December will be a lot better than that”. I was shocked as I thought it was fantastic and preferred it to when I saw them with Tom.

Never easy when the front man leaves a band as he can make that band tick. When Scott Stapp left Creed the band recruited Myles Kennedy who is a totally different singer and the band changed too, Alter Bridge will never be Creed and vice versa.

I had pre-sale access the other day (won't mention the gig as it was for a crimbo pressie, my daughter might read this and don't want to spoil the surprise). Refreshed constantly, after 40 mins I finally secured the tickets, went to checkout the site crashed and I lost the seats. Massive grrrr moment. I will try again for the general sale, but not holding out much hope. So frustrating. Should really add this to the pet peeve thread :greengrin

Went to ABBA Voyage in London at the weekend. Best gig ever and by a mile.

If you get the chance to go don’t miss out on an experience I think you will never forget.

Just come out from todays show. Absolutely mind-blowing. Just surreal,thousands of people singing and dancing along to effectively an empty stage. Bizarre but brilliant at the same time.

Those are great reviews. I've bought 2 tickets for my wife's Christmas on the dance floor. I might actually start looking forward to it now I've read your comments! 😁

I'm doing the same - buying it as a voucher, mainly due to not knowing when she can go but also in the hope she finds a pal to go with 😂

I'm off to see Scottish up-and-comers Parliamo play a sold-out show at Oran Mor on Friday evening, ahead of them supporting The View in December.

I actually taught one of their members last year who was pursuing a Masters and supervised their dissertation, and I'm looking forward to catching up with them and see them perform live to a capacity crowd - they were kind enough to offer me a spot on their guest-list.

Starting to see quite a few of the Northern Hemisphere bands returning to Australia. Saw Idles last week and they were every bit as good as I remember them... a good 3 and a half years since I've spent the bulk of a gig in the pit and jeez was my body feeling it the next day. Had Enter Shikari the week after and they were certainly far from their early peak.

Got a good run coming up over the next few months though... Pixies, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, Arctic Monkeys, Chvrches, Fontaines DC, Billy Bragg, Future Islands, Ash... and of course The Proclaimers.

I'm even tempted to take my chances to see Elton John and Sting (seperately) down here; but I'm not sure I can swallow $300 a pop just to tick them off the list.

Yard Act at the QMU tonight. Last I've got planned this year, as it stands.

Swithering over tickets for Iggy Pop/ Blondie at Crystal Palace next summer purely for the Gen X/ Sex Pistols hybrid ‘Generation Sex’ supporting. They’ll be brilliant, watched the set they done in LA a few years back on YouTube umpteen times and I’m hoping they’ll do a few gigs on their own when they’re here, as Steve Jones rarely ventures to the UK these days so he’ll surely no be coming over just for one gig. Might even get a bit of a Sex Pistols reunion with Glen Matlock playing in Blondie now!

Not got tickets yet but planning on doing Motley Crue at Hampden next summer and have Cockney Rejects next Saturday at la belle angele. 999 also just announced Bannermans next October which I’ll no doubt be at too.

Got two tickets for a week on Saturday at Manchester. Night two of the entire tour. Would have tried for night one but Bolton v Bristol Rovers got moved to that night. Won’t lie, I felt a little smug at 10.01am on the day of open sale when I got straight through for tickets on Eventim while everyone else was fighting with Ticketmaster. Albeit made it more frustrating that I’d wasted half a day fighting with the priority sale on O2 and Three!

James & Orchestra at Usher hall next April, £93 a ticket, will be bodyswerving that one then 😵

Just booked tickets for Southside Johnny in London next July.

Maybe not of much interest to most, (except Brog :greengrin ) but read on....

They're playing on the 7th July. Springsteen is in London, doing gigs on the 6th and the 8th. They have a long history of rocking up to each other's gigs when they can.

So... any London-based posters who couldn't get tickets for Bruce, this might be an option :greengrin

Disclaimer.... he might not turn up, but you will still have a helluva night

Been roped into going to see the complete Stone Roses at the O2 next week. Should be good as they doing the full set from the 2nd coming tour. Definitely Oasis also playing and doing the full 1997 Be here now tour set. Also Blur and Pulp tribute bands on as well. Gonna be a long long day but the Complete Stone Roses are class.

I think Saga are going to be running trips to Glastonnext year.

Proclaimers tonight at the Playhouse

Me too. And ffs I've never seen an audience less able to stay in their seat for more than two songs at a time. Guy in our row must have gone out for drinks and the loo seven times. Also; people who take flash photos or video, lighting up everyone within the next few rows. They will get rubbish photos and just upset everyone around them.

Proclaimers still a class act, nonetheless. Second biggest cheer of the night was for Cap In Hand.

Definitely not. Snug to say the least. Standing gigs much better. Funnily enough I bought playhouse tickets rather than Dunfermline Alhambra because the last time everyone stood for the entirety at the playhouse while at the Alhambra everyone stayed seated for pretty much the whole night. Typically, the Alhambra took the seats out this time [emoji23]

Done VIP for the Pet Shop Boys on Hogmanay as well, they were outstanding but the VIP experienced was an absolute con. Flat standing area so if you were not at the front you couldn't see a thing, no shelter either, the bar was outside the VIP area so you had to show your wrist band twice before getting back in, all while carrying 3/4 drinks. £7 a can of Amstel and £7.50 a can of pre mixed vodka cranberry as well. Complained to the organiser but not heard back from them. Those who bought tickets for the Gardens or terracing below us had a much better view. It was an absolute disgrace. £310 for 2 tickets to look at the back of someones head for 2 hours.

She's just added a 2nd night (knew she would as theres big gaps in the dates of her tour), glad I got the Saturday night though, spend the day in London before hand. Now I just need to find someone to go with. This will probably be her last tour given that she's 64 now, always wanted to see her but never got the chance previously. Massive crush of mine when too, even now. £450 for 2 tickets, she's worth it. :greengrin

It's been about Celtic Connections for me recently.

Started off with the Roamin' Roots Revue.... bit of a mixed bag, but with some magical moments.

Then an African night, including the last standing member of the Bhundu Boys (the band that moved John Peel to tears).

Tomorrow finish off with some Shooglenifty.

In other news, Springsteen's tour kicked off on Wednesday night. Some major omissions from the set-list (Thunder Road ffs!!) , but he's notorious for changing things around, so not fretting yet.

Also at Celtic Connections, Thursday night was Kim Edgar and friends at St Luke's. Friends included James Grant, Horse and Boo Hewerdeen. Last night was Transatlantic Sessions at the concert hall. Martha Wainwright and Amythyst Kiah were very good. Tonight it's Hen Hoose at St Luke's.

[Green Man]

Suede at Stereo last night were superb. I’ve seen them a few times before but playing in a 300 capacity venue was something special. A good few tracks from their most recent album (which is excellent) and the rest of the set spanning their back catalogue. The loudest and sweatiest gif I’ve been to in a long time!

'Weird Al' Jankovic at the O2 in Glasgow last night. Stepped in to take my superfan nephew as his mum was sick. Not a gig I'd ever have imagined going to (thought he was an 80s one-hit wonder) but it was a terrific show. Emo Phillips in support.

Hadn't been to this venue for years and if anything the surrounding dereliction is more grim than ever. The O2 feels like the last thing standing in a war zone. Not a pleasant walk to and from town in the dark with a child in tow.

Despite knowing non of the material, thought Weird Al was OK. Band was good, sound was good but surrounded by a bunch of singing fans left after about 30 minutes. I love live music, but this just wasn''t for me. Mrs O was really not enjoying herself. I got brownie points for saying we should just leave The neighbourhood is pretty scary thanks to streets of warehouses but I quite like the venue.

Tbh you're probably pretty safe, just that area has that reputation.

I remember our first gig at the O2 a few years back, the change in scenery going down Renfield St, down Union St/Jamaica St and over the bridge, was an eye opener.

We still need to go to Glasgow to see the bigger bands but you will find a decent small metal gig somewhere in Edinburgh most weeks.

An all girl group called Slady, this Friday at the Waterloo pub Blackpool. A Slade tribute band, with a support band who play everything from Bowie to T rex and Mott the hoople.

Scottish Opera’s Verdi Collection at the Usher Hall last week. Excellent other than the guy next to me in the first half really needing to buy three seats. Not only was he half on my seat, he was shaking his leg in time with the music. I swapped with my wife in the second half so she had to suffer it instead. Unfortunately, he fell asleep after 2 mins and his snoring was so loud people from 3 rows in front were turning round to see what the noise was.

Rock Orchestra by Candlelight at the Playhouse tonight.

The seats were admittedly on the snug side at the 'Weird Al' gig but I had to ask my nephew to swap seats as the guy next to me was taking up half of mine as well as his own. Luckily my nephew's such a skinny wee lad it didn't bother him but I reckon if I needed additional seat room I'd book an aisle seat.

Is this Stacey Chavis and the rest of Mr Mackenzie or is it a new line up ?

Stacey left a good few years ago, to concentrate on her yoga studio. When she left, they dropped Isa. The rest of the guys have had 3 albums out since then.

It was my birthday on Saturday and my wife had bought me tickets to see Elton John.

I'm delighted because he's meant to be brilliant live and I've been trying to get tickets but they're like hens' teeth.

Scottish Opera’s Verdi Collection at the Usher Hall last week. Excellent other than the guy next to me in the first half really needing to buy three seats. Not only was he half on my seat, he was shaking his leg in time with the music. I swapped with my wife in the second half so she had to suffer it instead. Unfortunately, he fell asleep after 2 mins and his snoring was so loud people from 3 rows in front were turning round to see what the noise was.

Rock Orchestra by Candlelight at the Playhouse tonight.

Hell is For Heroes and Hundred Reasons at the Barrowlands this coming Friday.

I have an eclectic taste in music :greengrin:I hadn't listened to hundred reasons or hell is for heroes or any of that ***** in around 20 years. My mate suggested going to this gig and I was not that bothered so listened to their stuff to peak my interest and I honestly forgot enjoyable this "*****" was. And now I can't go and I'm completely gutted. Enjoy!
