Jill 0 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Neil Young & Crazy Horse at the Arena last night. I thought it was good and I was pleased I've had the chance to see him live, but some of those extended outros, fuck me. I think I skipped about 3 birthdays during Fuckin' Up. Loads of moaning sods in the crowd as well who obviously weren't happy at the setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a total aside - Mate of mine and his Mrs saw Neil Young in the 70's at the City Hall, were sat in the bar debating whether to drink or watch the support (as you do - or as you did back then) decided to sit and drink, as he says they decided at the time "Ah, we'll not bother it's some band called the Eagles, never heard of them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wondered why Joe Satriani only had quarter of the City Hall sold out last night. Neil Young obviously a bigger draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them a year or two back and I can't imagine they'd do much different, but it was very good. Let's get the beers in either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Roskilde festival for 9 days end of June, Babyshambles in September, QOTSA in November and contemplating Truck Festival for the Horrors. Good things in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Got back from Download yesterday so I've seen a fair few gigs! The absolute best set though was Rammstein. Got close enough to feel the warmth of the multitude of explosions and flames. Iron Maiden were mint too - they had a spitfire flyover before they came on. Saw Turisas too of course. Random find of the festival was a band called Necrogoblikon. Goblin metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13817 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Wen't to see Ed Harcourt at the Sage a couple of weeks back. He was utterly fucking class. Most of it was just him on a grand piano or solo on the guitar occasionally with a couple of lasses playing violin or singing. One song he played acoustic without a microphone and everyone could hear as they were in total silence. 10/10 Must see. Must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably try to get Jimmy Eat World tickets on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thinking about going to see Bob Dylan later this year. HF, what's he like live? I know 6 or 7 albums of his well, the classics basically. Do you need an encyclopedic knowledge of his work to be sure to enjoy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 6 or 7 albums of his well, the classics basically. Do you need an encyclopedic knowledge of his work to be sure to enjoy it? Saw him in 2011 and his voice is shot but made up for it with good bluesy arrangements of his stuff and the band is excellent. A definite "jam" feel to it but not self-indulgent in the way Neil Young can be. He played something off each of his classic albums and peppered some stuff for the fans in too. I thought he was excellent but no idea what 2 years has done to his voice. The difference in seeing McCartney in 2010 to hearing him in 2012 was drastic.

Do you need an encyclopedic knowledge of his work to be sure to enjoy it? Whenever I've seen him he'll do one or two obscure ones for the die hards, three or four off his latest album and the rest of the set is the classics. So there should be plenty to enjoy....but he does "re-imagine" a lot of the classics. He's got 3 minutes into "like a rolling stone" before I realized that's what he was playing before. I love those surprises but I've seen people get very angry about it. If its in a smaller/mid-size venue I wouldn't think twice about recommending him. In venues the size of the arena though he can totally lose the audience. No screens or owt for him. Every gig he does has a set list online so you can have a look at what he's playing these days. Looks like he is doing less of the oldies.... http://www.bobdylan.com/us/events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Queens of the stone age in november Never really liked them apart from No One Knows and In My Head, but I went to see them at Download as they were on the main stage. Shite. Josh Homme was either pissed or high, but it didn't make for an exciting or decent set. They were better than Gaslight Anthem though. God sake what a dull band. Never seen so many people sleeping during a gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
