Gigs

Forums New posts
Martin Stephenson & The Daintees - Gorilla, Manchester

Their Boat to Bolivia album spent a lot of time on my turntable back in the late 80s. I was very pleased to catch them at the Wardrobe in Leeds a couple of years ago in what turned out to be probably my favourite gig of 2017.

Apparently, the guitarist and drummer from that line up, a married couple by the way, had left the band just before the start of this tour leaving them scratching around for very late replacements. This was a very good gig, but perhaps was just not quite as good as at the Wardrobe, and maybe that was the reason.

That said, they mixed the set up from last time, I think only three songs were performed up both gigs. They did do Little Red Bottle this time, one of my favourites, and even opened with a mad Surfin' instrumental.

At £20 to get in, this was a bargain.

Steve Hackett - Cliffs Pavilion

This year's tour features the entire album 'Selling England By the Pound' and it didn't disappoint. A standing ovation at the end and at times during the show, being richly deserved.

It's the second time I've seen them and also saw Genesis back in the day. They were on stage for 2 and 1/2 hours and everything was as tight as ever.

Stand out tracks being 'Firth of Fifth' and 'Los Endos' at the very end, but so much was just excellent about the whole evening.

Also, a hats off to the staff at the Cliffs Pavilion. My B-I-L is wheelchair bound and they couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. The younger staff there particularly.

An all round top night.

Excellent, does he still have a bass player using a double necked 4 and 6 string bass in the group AndyT?

Just a mini-tour to make it worth his while coming all the way down here from north Norfolk. His latter stuff's pretty good too, Blueronron - he's released three decent albums in the last 5 years as well as all the touring.
 
Should have been seeing Benmont Tench (used to be keyboard player for Tom Petty's Heartbreakers) ) in Badalona on Saturday.Festival's been cancelled but no money back yet. :Angry:
