Going watching them at the Liverpool Academy on the 3rd or 4th next month.

Just seen one of my favourite band's of the 80's and 90's Deacon Blue.

They have just released a new album, and the concert was as good as any I have seen them do in the past. They are a live band that seem to get better with age

Off to watch Alter Bridge next week.... Probably my favourite band.

Enjoy, new album is impressive with shades of Seamonsters on the guitar sound.

Saw The Damned last Friday at Manchester their 40th aniversary tour,,,,absolutely awesome. Captain Sensible cant half play a mean guitar.

Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats next week at Leeds Brudenell Social Club, Support from the excellent Vodun.

Saw them in Leeds last night, thought the sound lacked quality and yet it seemed ok for Volbeat.

Funny..... I said similar myself. Shame really as I've seen them live several times and it's always been fine. Myles Kennedy has an incredible voice.

Love Deacon Blue. Done some top songs over the years.
I'm going to see Status Quo next Saturday supported by REO Speed wagon followed by seeing The Darkness on the Sunday.

RHCP in Manchester next Thursday. I've been a fan for longer than I care to remember and seen them several times over the years. I'm not a huge fan of the newer material, but they do put on a good show - and from what I've read, they're delving deep into the back catalogue, so something for everyone; should be a good night!

Saw Clutch at Manchester Academy just before Christmas. Excellent. Can't fault 'em, the place was rocking, great vibe and atmosphere. One of the better live bands I've seen.

One very minor niggle would be the sound, although mostly spot on, the engineer seemed to be struggling to get his levels right. Not unusal for the Academy to be fair.

Saw In Flames, Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold on Sunday in Sheffield! Disturbed were out of this world!!

Worshiping at the altar of Black Sabbath for one last time Leeds Arena this Thursday.
Current tour set-list is near perfect IMO although I would have liked Sweet Leaf and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in there somewhere. Here it is :-

Black Sabbath
Fairies Wear Boots
Under the Sun/Every Day Comes and Goes
After Forever
Into the Void
Snowblind
War Pigs
Behind the Wall of Sleep
N.I.B.
Hand of Doom
Rat Salad
Iron Man
Dirty Women
Children of the Grave

Encore:
Paranoid

I'd have loved to have seen Black Sabbath. You have to see these older bands when you can, as you won't get another chance. It's why I went to Iron Maiden last year. I doubt they'll play SA again. I've just come back from this www.upthecreek.co.za/ Highlights were Dan Patlansky, Southern Wild, Black Cat Bones, and especially Taxi Violence.

saw them at York fibbers. quality.
tickets booked for the undertones in leeds. saw them last year and they were simply awesome

Don't know wether to admit to this but went to see Elton John at our Widnes stadium and it was brilliant. Great weather few sherbets and everybody was having a great time. He done over 2 hours non stop doing most of his greatest hits.

mate saw him at leeds and said he was great.
tickets booked for the mighty shed seven and cast at leeds. well guest list anyway. don't believe in paying if I don't have to

Django Django at Church in Leeds on Saturday - great band, very difficult to categorise, but great live; I reyt enjoyed misen!

I went to see British Sea Power in Feb and they were supported by 'The DSM -IV'. I've got Yo La Tengo in Manchester at the end of the month, and 'The Wedding Present' in Liverpool at the beginning of may. Then 'Half Man Half Biscuit' at the Ritz in Manchester at the end of November. Darren Hayman (ex Hefner) is playing up in Manchester around june/july-ish, id love to go and see him as well.

Oh I forgot to say I went to watch Mozzer in leeds as well. He was very good, but The DSM IV and British Sea Power in Liverpool has been the best so far.

Almost forgot about this thread ...

Alice Cooper in Leeds last November.

The third time I'd seen Alice but to see him reunited this time with former bandmates Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith for a few classics was an absolute joy.

Nita Strauss is well worth seeing too!

Taken in a couple of tribute bands recently;

Limehouse Lizzy at the Leopard in Doncaster (13 April).
Always a pleasure to see this tribute to the music of Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy.

The Illegal Eagles at the Doncaster Dome (20 April).
I don't particularly consider myself a fan of the Eagles but have to say after taking a few numbers to warm to it, this was one hell of a decent show. Six very talented musicians, five of which take on lead vocals at varying times. For anyone who remotely likes the Eagles, this is a band well worth seeking out.

The Breeders in Leeds tonight - long time fan, and I know they've still got it; should be a treat. Also got Lucius in Dublin in September, and Jack White in Hull at the new venue in October - a very neat squaring of that particular circle, because I discovered Lucius when they supported Jack White at the Leeds Arena a couple of years ago - they're an outstanding live act.

Did anyone bite their tongue and fork out the exorbitant ticket prices for the upcoming Arctic Monkeys tour? I didn't on principle, and having heard the new material, I'm glad I made that choice - it's bloody awful.

Volbeat in Manchester this evening.

Been wanting to see them again since they supported Alter Bridge.

Absolutely brilliant gig this evening. Now looking forward to the new album.
