Peter Gabriel-OMD?

Saw Peter Gabriel here last night at the Palau Sant Jordi.Wasn't full by any means but it was an interesting show.The first half was given over to stuff from his current "Scratch my back" covers album and the second was effectively a greatest hits package.Didn't realise he'd be playing with a full orchestra behind him.Given that Sting is performing here in October with the LSO, is this some sort of new trend in live pop?

Finally got my hands on my Roger Waters tickets last night .. there's 5 of us going on Thursday 12th May and bound to be a top night

Block 111 5 rows from the front, close enough to see every detail and far enough away to be able to take it all in

I think it will be a quite relaxed evening Lee,maybe time for a spot of tea and a muffin during the evening..:happy:

bummer

I saw an up and coming young band called The Bluebeat Arkestra in Birmingham's HMV Institute on Friday night. They were eclectic and original - imagine St. Etienne with soul and some powerhouse percussion and you're getting there. Wonderful to hear the 'ideologically sound trumpet' (cf. Billy Bragg - Cliffs Pavilion, '85) in alliance with a sassy violin. Perhaps the best band to come out of Brum since Dexy's. :stunned:

Maybe but Thin Lizzy were surely the best ever.

Of the originals - Phil Lynott and Brian Downey were from Dublin. Eric Bell was from Belfast - as was his replacement Gary Moore. No Brummies in the band at all, as far as I can recall. :nope:

Thought they were based in Brum when they first hit the charts.I certainly saw them in concert there(at the Odeon IIRC in the mid 70's and Phil Lynott said it was great to be back home.Or maybe they'd just come back off a foreign tour or something?
If not since I never liked the Moody Blues or UB40(much) I'd go for Slade(and yes I know they were from Wolvehampton but it's just next door).
