Gigs

[Tangled up in Blue]

I am travelling down to London on Monday to see Yes at the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday with a VIP ticket.

Rick Wakeman still with them? (Used to be a huge Strawbs fan back in the day).

"In April 2002, Wakeman rejoined Yes for the fifth and final time, and said it took eight months to get the necessary paperwork to make it happen.[138][140] The band toured worldwide with the Full Circle Tour and 35th Anniversary Tours, which ran from 2002 to 2004. Wakeman described the band's playing during his return: "It was far and away the best the band had ever been ... there was no staleness, there was a lot of freshness."[144] The only new studio material worked on during this time were bonus tracks on The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection. After the 2004 tour Yes entered a four-year hiatus, during which Wakeman retired from large scale tours following ongoing health problems.[145] When the band regrouped in 2008, Wakeman's son Oliver replaced him on keyboards."

No, Geoff Downes is on keyboard duties. I did see Wakeman as a solo artist at the Cliffs in the 80s and as part of the group billed as Yes featuring Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman at the Manchester Apollo a few years ago (below).

Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets - O2 Apollo, Manchester

Sadly, Nick Mason and his Saucerful of Secrets band did not actually play on my birthday as King Crimson and the Moody Blues have done in the past, but it was worth the extra day wait.

I saw him a couple of years ago and I am pleased to say they were even better this time.

The set has changed since the last tour and adding the Saucerful of Secrets track to the encore was a very good move. But I would like them to drop the song Fearless. I have never really liked it, and of course it didn't go well in Manchester as it contains Liverpool supporters singing You'll Never Walk Alone.

going to see Body Count next Sunday, should be fun

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Off to see the Boss tonight at the Olympic stadiiunm (where Espanyol played for 12 years) thought judging by the 58,000 sell out crowd who turned up to him play there the other night he'll gather rather more fans than turn out for Espanyol or Bar$a there

It was a good concert I'm amazed how Springsteen still does it .He s 2 years older than me `-I know he works out but even so!

The guy is incredible. He could easily roll out the same 90 minute choreographed set each night and then count the $$ like some others his age might, but instead it's a full throttle 3 hour experience of total commitment which feels as much like a religious experience as it does a rock and roll show.

Saw Angie Wells Play a great set of mainly Jazz (and some Blues) Standards at Saint Chinian last night.Alo picked up a couple of her Cd's after the show (One of which I'm listening to now).Result.

I remember seeing Ice T at the Pink Toothbrush BITD.

Body Count is a bit too heavy for me but good to see he’s still ‘doggin the wax’

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Saw John Lydon in Wimborne's Tivoli Theatre last Thurs, he's nearing the end of his circa 30 date UK tour which is a mix of chat, self therapy (after his wife died last year), audience questions, and even a closing rendition of Anarchy in the UK.

Typical Lydon, confident opinions where you feel he would never entertain any debate, peppered with a few naughty words and cheeky grins, and some raw emotion.

A thoroughly good evening.

 

[Ron Manager]

Went to see The Last Dinner Party in Brisbane last night. Genuinely thinks they are the best new band on the planet right now. Mind blowing gig.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Saw Idles for the second time a couple of weeks ago at Margate Dreamland. Cathartic and joyous in equal measure.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Bebo Valdes & his band in Sete at La Teatre de la mer last night.Great Cuban musis.Got back at silly o' clock but it was worth it -

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Off to see a Tony Blackburn Sounds of the 60's gig tonight. Oh well, I never had any street cred anyway

It is with heavy heart that since Rod Argent had his stroke a couple of weeks back it has been decided that The Zombies will not tour again .
