Apparently there were 8,500 there yesterday compared to c3,000 last year though, so I can cut the organisers some slack there.
Good day out even if it meant I missed the game yesterday
Saw them yesterday and 4/5 times at Usher Hall over the years, they are superb. If you're a big Beatles fan it's a great experience seeing them rattle through the eras.Quote:

Re your comment about hearing about upcoming gigs, are you on Twitter? If you follow your fave artists you'll see upcoming dates as they are announced.
Was at Glasgow summer sessions on Saturday. Now apart from some real fannys who enjoy launching small glass bottles into the crowd it was fantastic! The frontman from Cage the Elephant is like a wee Mick Jagger. They were very good. Wolf Alice were decent. Fall Out Boy were excellent but Biffy were ****in incredible!! What a show they put on! Simon Neil can write a song that's for sure. Great night and getting Ma tickets sorted for their gig at the Hydro end of November. If you've not seen them I highly recommend it. :top marks
We were there on saturday as well and mentioned the bottles/cups being thrown constantly, fall out boy were really good and im not a big fan, biffy were excellent and hopefully will see them again. £7 for a sausage supper is scandalous though!
14/10/16 - The Rolling Stones - Bob Dylan and his band
15/10/16 - Paul McCartney - Neil Young + Promise of the Real
16/10/16 - Roger Waters - The Who
Desert Trip at The Empire Polo Club, Indio

RHCP March 7th 2017 at the Staples Center
Autumn is always a good time for gigs. Thus far, I've booked the Alabama 3, the Wave Pictures, Afro Celt Sound System, the Filthy Tongues and Ezra Furman .

Tickets for Primal Scream at the Usher Hall in November and Blossoms in December. Going to Vegas in OCtober and it's a toss up between the likes of The Pet Shop Biys, the 1975 Britney Spears, Elton John, or Charlie XCX!
James in Wellington on Nov 10th (first ever NZ gig by them!) and Coldplay in Auckland on Dec 3rd.
Would love to see the Filthy Tongues, Daughter was going ti get me tickets for an upcoming Edinburgh gig but Im away abroad.Quote:

Good stuff mate, Jacobs Ladder is a superb song too, would love to see them get the recognition they deserve, unlike Goodbye Mr Mackenzie where they didnt quite hit the heights. Defo will get along to see them at some point in the near future. Im friends with Martin on FB as well as the Tongues so I can keep an eye on future gigs 👍Quote:

PM me if you are.
Next year is shaping up to be a ridiculous year for gigs. Either confirmed to be touring, rumoured to tour or expecting to release new material which 99% of time means a tour are:
Depeche Mode (20+ gigs for me each tour)
U2
Simple Minds
The Killers
Adam Ant
Stone Roses
Crowded House
INXS
Tears for Fears
Erasure
Oasis (currently evens with the bookies to tour in 2017)
Any betting folks, a few quid on Depeche Mode as an outsider to headline Glastonbury may be a sound investment. They were due to play a few years ago but decided not to extend their tour past the winter, meaning they'd have a 4 month gap between gigs so pulled out. I suspect they may be on the radar for next year as their tour is due to start in May and there's no Glasto the following year when their tour will be coming to an end. Michael Eavis is a big fan!
Stone Roses at Hampden will be a great night. Hopefully they won't get sold out on Friday.
TITP on the Friday didn't sell out so not sure why Hampden would. A lot will depend on the support acts. They need to get their new album out to generate real interest or they're in danger of becoming a nostalgia act like those who appear at Rewind!Quote:

He must be heading the show.Quote:

Are measures being taken to stop touts sellling the tickets? Might increase my chances of gettign a pair if touts have bought them, can't sell them at an inflated price then get a refund at the box office.
Wishful thinking..!
They stone roses prices were ridiculous. Was up for it but cant see how they can justify prices more than 50% higher than heaton park and glasgow green.
Maybe because most of their fans are now more affluent in their middle age and willing to pay top dollar for their nostalgia hit.Quote:
