Turns out that they were a true pair of Metal Heads! ...

Off to see this lot tonight:

Last saw them back in the 80s - and apparently they also have some woman joining them on additional vocals these days.

Should be a good night

Well that wasn't what we expected at all:
Just guitarist and harmonica player, sharing vocals, and a sat down audience (and not that many people either)

But a good night of music nonetheless

And lack of crowd made for easy bar access

See how many tracks/artists you can correctly identify before the info pops up on the screen. I failed to identify 7. But that ain't too bad, cos there are a lot...

After chatting with @DD67 about festivals and gigs it sent me on a nostalgia trip, and although they may not be to everyone's taste, Muse are one of the best live bands I've seen.

I was at each of these gigs, and they are incredible live

Birmingham 2006

Wembley 2007

V Festival 2008

Finally got to see Iron Maiden last night... they were fantastic!







From their performance and energy it's hard to believe that Nico McBrain is 70 and the rest of the band aren't far behind him, they were incredible and Bruce's voice is as strong as ever.

Looks great!

Any particular standout tracks?

The Trooper, Fear Of The Dark, and Death Of The Celts which Bruce was going to introduce as The Clansman until Steve Harris realised and corrected him

Not my video, but some mobile phone footage from last night...

Wholeheartedly agree , seen them 3 times and just get better with age

RIP Sinead O'Conner, a very troubled lady, but she did have some talent and was pretty hot back in the day. I hope she is finally at peace now.

A nice tribute, but he would not want to live there

Yes, fantastic voice, but screwed up head.

Off to see this lot tomorrow at a little festival in Dorset - mainly chosen because you can still put your tent right next to your car!

I'm having a SKA sesh & stumbled across this. I haven't heard it in many years. I can't help thinking that it's ripe to be used in some trendy advert. As is the case with a lot of the great music from yesteryear ...

 

[Scrappy]

Wow, time has been kind to her looks and voice!

First non-pub gig I ever went to was Whitesnake supported by Saxon at Hammersmith Odeon, 1980??

My abiding memory of the evening was seeing the women react to Coverdale and my 16 y.o self thinking 'I want what he's got!!
