Moderators Zico Posted July 19, 2022 Moderators Share Posted July 19, 2022 if you think Prodigy will be sweaty, Pixies are playing Band On The Wall later think they only announced it yesterday, or very recently capacity is 340 that would've been a good one to go to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted July 19, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2022 Kasabian at the Academy about 10 years ago was the best but hottest gig I ever went to. Had been in the low 30's all day and they oversold the venue...it was rammed even as far back as the bar near the entrance. When they did Club Foot I don't think I touched the floor for 3 minutes. The sweat was coming off the ceiling like rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNM gigs are the hottest ever! Saw them at International I & II many years ago and then in Glasgow. And it was stupidly hot at all 3.

Fuck me, it was hot. Walls and floors were awash. Glad we were up on the Balcony rather than in the Mosh. They did Firestarter as an instrumental and had the lazer outline. As I say, it was good but Keef was missed. Badly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Got my tickets for Springsteen at Hyde Park today. Never been a massive fan - got into him a few years ago and loving his stuff now, its one performer I want to see. Didn't bother with Dylan - seen him twice and it's never been great. Keep it to the records now for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Just back from Alabama 3 at King Georges Hall. Probably about 200 there which means around 7.6 billion missed out and that's criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Gangs of Youths, November at the Academy, on sale in 5 mins. Going to get myself a ticket. Billy-no-mates!! EDIT. Got 2, just in case. Edited July 22, 2022 by Smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Naughty Bruce has got into trouble as they are dynamically pricing the tickets, so you go on, click through to wait and tickets are £100 and then by the time you get to the page they are double the price as they are selling out. TM are saying its to prevent third party sites. What they mean is, its to prevent third party sites taking revenue from us. I got them for £100 each and decided to do a pay off at £17 a month - which seems reasonable. The reason folk are complaining is that Pearl Jam don't allow TM to do dynamic pricing, and so people are asking Brucie why he is allowing it.

Not in Crawley Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Anyway now got Dinosaur Jr, Ministry and Springsteen in the bag. Slowly ticking off the bands I want to see. Would love to see Radical Face, his Family Tree albums are some of the best I've heard but he never tours. Tempted by Anthrax at Brixton, cheaper than Machine Head it seems. Then holidng out for Pantera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 'White Power' Anselmo and the bands long standing use of the confederate flag puts me off but then I hear that riff at the start of Cowboys From Hell and suddenly all the bollocks can be ignored.
