So I am off tomorrow to see some local metal bands at the Cambridge metal pub.
With bands named Karybdis & Akkadian, I dont think its going to be an acoustic night out.

In contrast Aynsley Lister is in Cambridge in 2 weeks time. A nice evening of blues to look forward to.

I saw Sea Power last night. This was the third time I'd seen the band in Birmingham in the last four years, and the third different venue. Birmingham Town Hall is a grand, spacious concert hall, renovated in the noughties. It's a very smart, elegant venue.

To be honest - I don't think they quite brought the magic last night. They played well. It was great to have Do You Like Rock Music? played in its entirety, an album experience and a gig at the same time. But - I thought the set sagged a bit in the middle. Just a couple too many drawn-out, moody outros. Interaction with the audience was minimal and there was something a little perfunctory about the whole performance.

(https://i.ibb.co/Sn8MJxy/bsp240211.jpg)

I'm sure the venue sucked some of the energy out of the gig. Actually for such a distinguished concert hall, the sound wasn't great. I was amused to see how many different chord voicings Hamilton used to play the same three chord motif in No Lucifer, to no audible effect.

(https://i.ibb.co/NWPk93z/bsp240211-2.jpg)

There was no encore, so to speak. More like two sets, punctuated by a very brief intermission. For sure Remember Me and Carrion lifted the atmosphere considerably but on the whole .. a little bit low key.

Sea Power again last night. An absolutely belting gig. The band were 100% committed, they seemed to be enjoying themselves quite a bit more than Birmingham three nights earlier, the Leadmill is for me a much, much more convivial venue for this sort of thing. We sang along, we waved our hands, we cheered loudly. I loved every minute. I actually had goosebumps during Canvey Island.

There was a bit more interaction with the crowd but more to the point, the whole thing felt more like a boisterous celebration of the rapport between band and audience, and a transcendent sharing of joy. And I'd only had half a lager.

(https://i.ibb.co/QPjw4J3/bsp240213-01.jpg)

One minor nitpick - Hamilton was either playing a wrong note in Fire Escape in the Sea up the dusty end of his short scale bass or it was out of tune, or badly intonated. It was about a semitone sharp. I admit I winced, but it didn't spoil the fun.

Scott helped himself to a guitar solo for his birthday in Remember Me.

(https://i.ibb.co/Hdz1Kw5/bsp240213-2.jpg)

Definitely in my top three or four (B)SP gigs.

I was thinking of making a weekend of it Hass - because Mrs S is dragging me out - and had suggested House of Tides. Missed out on front row at the Sage (even I call it that, despite never having been) but was trying for her first choice of the Albert Hall.

Front row of sage was unobtainable because, even though they showed on their site, they were only available via ticketmaster as platinum tickets for £100.  I got third row.  That'll do.

It's a fantastic venue...I was disappointed that the previously announced gigs there in 2020 and 2021 (for which I did have front row) were rescheduled to the city hall...although that gig was sensational, but still...

Prog for Peart

A two day music festival in Abingdon, Oxfordshire set up in memory of Neil Peart of the band Rush which donates all profits to brain cancer research.

I've just found out about this. A bit far to me, but I'm tempted - especially the Friday.  Friday 12th July & Saturday 13th July.

Went to the very first in 2021 as it's only a few miles away. Headliners were Bravado.  However, that was the only one that featured a Rush tribute which is a shame. The guy that organises it is a massive Rush fan and they do a great job raising money for glioblastoma research. For that reason it should be a regular on my gig calendar but I do struggle a bit with listening to Prog that I'm not familiar with. If you don't, it's well worth checking out. The Northcourt is a cracking little venue, Moving Pictures are playing there this Saturday. Normally a good beer on too!

Quote from: Slim on April 02, 2024, 01:53:11 PMBought tickets to see Mica Paris later in the year. Not having seen her sing for decades, I'm starting to think it might have been a mistake unfortunately.

This was last night at the Jam House in Birmingham. We'd been there once before to see Mamas Gun but it was packed out last night. Despite my expectations she was really good. Lots of geeing up the audience, she's a natural frontperson and she really belted them out.

She has a lot of original material to choose from; despite this her set was at least 50% covers. Fantastic versions of Tom Browne's Funkin' For Jamaica and Jacko's Remember The Time especially.

Her band is good, not great. Talented guitar player but more a heavy blues player than jazz or soul. A bit more restraint and subtlety would have gone a long way, probably true for Mica's vocals as well but there's no doubt it was a hugely spirited performance.

Do you mind me asking what you paid for Gilmore - I'm hearing some are paying €249 - that sounds way ott unless he's cooking you a meal after the gig and serenading you both with his acoustic?

Are Hackett tickets similarly priced?

I paid £499.95 for 2 for the night before Nick is going.  Ridiculous, but gig prices are these days.  Justified as I'm taking my brother for his 60th and I'm crashing at his house, so at least it saves on hotel costs..

Paid the same as Hassan for my tickets. Steve Hackett was £84.75 (inc. fees)

When you look at what Eagles are charging for front block seats at a half built Arena Gilmour looks good value.
