I preferred the abc as well but the Academy is OK. I saw FD supporting the Wildhearts a few years ago - I wasn't keen on them either.

the original dalry llama Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 The next few nights are a bit busy. Wide Days starts tonight and there are three days of showcase gigs at various venues round about the Cowgate. I've also got Fat White Family doing their live instore at Assai Records early Thursday evening. Stag & Dagger is always a highlight of the Edinburgh gig year; I might do Glasgow on Sunday too.

jimbojambo Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I can't wait to see the legendary Dionne Warwick at the Usher Hall on Tuesday. Incredible that it's not sold out yet as one of probably one of the last ever chances to see one of the the true greats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periodictabledancer Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 On 10/05/2023 at 00:43, Ulysses said: The weather this afternoon and evening was awful, right up until about 15 minutes before the band came on stage. Then the skies cleared completely. A really good gig, although some of the quieter moments were let down just a wee bit by the sound quality in the RDS. Despite that, Last Man Standing and I'll See You In My Dreams were very poignant moments. Other highlights of the night for me were Death To My Hometown, Nightshift, Trapped, Johnny 99 and Wrecking Ball. Springsteen really is some man for one man. Three hours on stage without a break (the band got a break, but he didn't), and he covered every square inch of the stage with a really energetic performance. And the band are sensational musicians, absolutely sensational. Bruce Springsteen Concert Setlist at RDS Arena, Dublin on May 9, 2023 | setlist.fm Saw him in Cardiff last night. Pishing rain, roof closed, lights out and he was terrific in front of a great crowd. Anyone seeing this leg of the tour will hear a better, bouncier experience IMO. I saw him twice last year and it all seemed a bit tired / formulaic after two back to back events. Did his usual three hours of course , so he's still good value. Seeing him in an indoor arena in front of 60,000 is some experience. Probably my last though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dionne was interviewed for around 90 minutes and she's a principled, inspiring, sassy lady who has led an incredible life. She sang for around 30 minutes and talk about topical when she led the audience in a chorus of What the world needs now is love. She said on her first visit to Edinburgh she got off the tour bus on the wrong side and was almost killed by one of the original trams or streetcar as she called it. Glad she survived and came back to say goodbye after original tour called off for illness 3 years ago. A brilliant gig.

I enjoyed it , I didn’t know she was friends with one of my fave icons Dietrich . I loved her imitation of her !! She looked fantastic for 83 and her voice was in good shape . Her son’s singing voice was amazing too . I didn’t know she was so heavily involved in aids activism too . Thank you Dionne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statts1976uk Posted Monday at 21:00 Share Posted Monday at 21:00 I was supposed to be going to the James gig at the TECA next month but have been advised that due to possible hearing issues that I should avoid big concerts for a while. I'm making do with the Tim Booth Q&A for his book at SWG3 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
