But I did that as I went by myself and nbot with the other half. As she's 5 ft nothing she can't see down the front. She's also seen QotSA loads of time from the side of the stage when when worked on festivals - during Songs For the Deaf era so she'll have to put up with being in the gods. Anyway, he's a couple of inches taller than me, should be able to see the bloke. Just.
November 16, 20232 yr Really good gig - not been to an arena gig for a while, really enjoyed it and they did a great encore. Homme seemed quite well oiled. New songs were excellent. Also could well get into not having a beer at a concert, but I'm sure next time I'll try and move an 8am meeting!

I could easily get into not having a beer when it's £8.50 for a pint of morreti You got the better setlist, we didn't get lost art of our God is in the radio
November 16, 20232 yr Author I know the sneering classes will cock their heads back and snort at this But Noel Gallaghers latest album - Council Skies - is genuinely fantastic. Been a bit of a slow burner but there are 4/5 songs on there that are as good as anything he’s done. No filler to speak of. Open the door, find a way. Easy Now. Dead To The World. All top drawer. He’s sticking to what he’s best at again, and it shows. Edited November 16, 20232 yr by Spider

But without a doubt the setlists are always a little better or bands seems to do something a bit different/special here.

I think you may have just got luck of the draw to a degree with setlis, been having a look back and they seem have a core of 14 or so songs they definitely play and then mix it up a bit each night sometimes they do no one knows at the start, sometimes in the encore, and vice versa with go with the flow you got one off the first album with regular john, I've never heard them do anything off the first album live

Looks like you had a more unique gig - but the encore didn't seem to work as well.
November 16, 20232 yr Talk about being late to the party but how good is The Low End Theory by Tribe Called Quest? Bugging Out is genius! Anyway, only 33 years late...
November 19, 20232 yr Elite fucking posters don't make me laugh. Killer Be Killed, Machine Head, Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, Mad Capsule Markets, The Shizit. Hello!

Yeah - mine says I listened for 63 days, but I do listen to podcasts to drop off some nights and then wake up in the morning and they're still going. Well that and I listen all day, five days a week in the office. Thankully the kids have their own now.
