Sheaf Saint Posted 1 October, 2009 Share Posted 1 October, 2009 Went to see Massive Attack at the 02 Academy in Sheffield last week. Oh.....my......GOD!!!!!!!! Absolutely superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rut Posted 1 October, 2009 Share Posted 1 October, 2009 C*ckney Rejects in December!!!! :D Guess I'm the only person here that likes them If I was over there I'd prob be going up to that. Saw em a couple of years back - they do all the good Oi stuff (none of that dodgy metal sh*t they experimented with for a while). I finally got to hear the 'Quiet Storm' LP by them the other day. A truly awful record - but almost so bad that it is good. And we're running down the backstreets.... Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff leopard Posted 13 October, 2009 Share Posted 13 October, 2009 you know its going to be special when everone in the audience gets a free kazoo. I went to see Sorry I Haven't a Clue on tour last week, with Jack Dee doing the business as host and a classic line-up of gardner, brooke-taylor, humphreys and hardy. graham gardner was as razor sharp as ever (i'd call him the poor man's john cleese but everthing he's done since a fish called wanda has just been painful to watch) and jeremy hardy was great as the token 'young person', making jokes about the israel defence force and saying **** on a regular basis. best part of the night was 'kazoo karaoke' where the audience played tunes for the panel to guess, the power of thousands of kazoos cracking out 'hit me with your rhythm stick' will stay with me forever. last night i got dressed up to go to the royal festival hall to see spiritualized perfoming 'ladies and gentleman...', live, on stage, as it was performed. i really like the concept of bands playing classic albums in full as you get to hear the songs in the context they were written for. and 'ladies and gentleman' has a clear over-arching narrative corning the nitty gritty of falling in and then out of love, that deserves to be heard in full in such a grand setting (i'm pretty sure it was my first gig in a venue with a royal box). famously, 'ladies and gentleman' was jason spaceman's own break-up record/stark self portrait after his lady secretly married richard ashcroft (double ouch) and to its credit it doesn't wallow in its own misery juices. it starts off full of wonder and awe and self-depreciating humour and the joys of feeling alive. but in the second half of the album self-doubt and fears of betrayal bum-rush the show. and it ends badly, as on a long enough time-line all relationships do. jason finally sees the light but its only to realise the whole time he though he'd been walking in space he's actually been w@nking for coins in a gutter of his own drug-filth. live and learn. and it all sounds amazing over ten years later, with his hired lackies, string section and choir, jason was on red hot form, encoring with a stunning 'out of sight' which i could hear being sung by choirs or angels and loved-up beardy guardian readers all the way back to waterloo. cosmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 13 October, 2009 Share Posted 13 October, 2009 A toss up between Metallica at Sheffield Arena (thousands of people) and The Wildhearts at the Leeds ****pit (a couple of hundred people). Both intense and amazing but I think WH edge it for the intimacy of the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungle Posted 9 November, 2009 Share Posted 9 November, 2009 (edited) You will not be disapointed I can categorically now state that The Specials are totally f*cking awesome.

keithd Posted 16 November, 2009 Share Posted 16 November, 2009 Shed 7 in Pompey in December should win this thread hands down. saw them at the pyramids last year. they were gash. rick witter was off his nut i think. that said, if he turns up and in the mood it should be good saw Airborne Toxic Event at O2 Oxford Saturday, bloody excellent.

Seaford Saint Posted 16 November, 2009 Share Posted 16 November, 2009 Mott the Hoople last month....awesome. The original drummer has altseimers and was lead to the drum kit just to drum for the encore, minders stood around in case he decided to wander. Priceless. Ian Hunter was great aged 70!!!!!

jeff leopard Posted 23 November, 2009 Share Posted 23 November, 2009 Tortoise/Cluster @ The Royal Festival Hall Absolutely utterly incredible. I could never claim to big the most devout Tortoise fan ever but they just blew my tiny mind. Cluster were great too and as it was part of the Radio 3 Jazz Festival, and clearly Tortoise are huge Cluster fans, their sets over-lapped and fused with the power of jazz. Tortoise joined Cluster for the end of their set, and after the interval Cluster helped kick start the Tortoise set. One of the best gigs I've ever been to, ever!

Saw Paul Weller :prayer: here in Dubai earlier this year .... awesome, probably my favourite of the year so far, but am off to see The Killers in Abu Dhabi tomorrow so may have to amend my choice Also high on my list was a Ska Combo of Neville Staples, Rankin Roger and Pauline Black plus a great backing band and they played all The Specials, The Beat and Selector hits, a really great night :smt026.

That would have been an absolute tragedy if had been lost. Always had a great night there, it's always busy with a great crowd. I took some friends from Sheffield there last year to see Easy Star Allstars and they absolutely fell in love with the place. Really glad it was saved. I live 200 miles away these days but I still get to at least one gig a year there whenever I come down to visit friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go in there when it was a crumbling (literally!) "backstreet" boozer. Couldn`t believe what they did to it to turn it into the venue that it now is.
