Ulysses Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 18 hours ago, I P Knightley said: I bagged a ticket for his Hyde Park gig on 6th July. My mate's going to both gigs (second on the 8th, when The Who are at Edinburgh Castle) so was looking at the two setlists from Dublin. 28 songs one night, 27 the other. About 10 different songs between the two lists. You definitely get your money's worth. We're talking about getting tix for the 7th July to see Southside Johnny at the Shepherd's Bush Empire but he may well take to the stage with Springsteen either or both nights. 16 hours ago, periodictabledancer said: I saw him in NY and will be in Rome for the Circus Maximus gig although I'm not sure if I can do an all day thing at my age with no seats. NY was great with the NY/NJ crowd creating an amazing atmosphere , a lot of the time he seemed happy to let the crowd do the singing. Not much to dislike but Nightshift is a travesty for me and I wish he wouldn't. Rosalita isn't a song ive liked all that much but the crowd went nuts over it and I kinda fell in love with it now although he doesn't half ham it up with SVZ. 😄 Needless to say the "encore" brought the house down. And yeah, the musicians are all at the top of their game. 13 hours ago, frankblack said: Excellent setlist. Good to see they are still putting on the same type of shows as he did pre-pandemic. No mean feat for their age! A few minutes from the RDS on the 9th (hopefully it'll take a while before it gets removed). Manages to be both funny and poignant.

He reads the whole thing from an autocue. Sorry for the cynicism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't screw up putting on his jacket on the 7th, though. Or maybe he's rehearsed that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RDS Arena is a bit too open for my liking. Enjoy! Having just got back to the hotel after his Rome gig , I'd say Murrayfield will be sensational. The Circus Maximus crowd was great but it's a giant empty space even with 60',000 and lacked atmosphere for large parts. With Murrayfield being enclosed I reckon it will be electric. A special mention for Sam Fender who was terrific. And a 0/10 for that venue - the place is a disorganised shit hole, zero crowd management and not a single toilet on "our" side of the stadium .

superjack Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I've never really been bog on going to gigs but this weekend there was meant to be a festival in stornoway. On Thursday I would have seen the pretenders and ocean colour scene (they're the only reason for going on Thursday), on Friday I would have seen primal scream. Saturday I wasn't too fussed about but I was going as my mate is a massive credence fan. Last week though, we were told the festival was cancelled.

OmiyaHearts Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) I went to Placebo in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, when I was on holiday in NYC. They've still got it - new(ish) album is excellent and Molko is a great front man. There were no phones at the gig and it reminded me how much phones ruin the atmosphere at gigs nowadays. Off to Linz, Austria next week to see NoFX on their final tour. A really cool bunch of punks who deserve their retirement. I've been listening to those guys since I was 10 or 11. Might have something in my eye, seeing them for the last time as a 46 year old. Looking forward to Stereo MC's later in the year too, September I think. A brilliant act live.
