Roy Wood (and his Rock n Roll Band) at Warrington Parr Hall last night.

All the classics were served up ...

California Man, I Can Hear The Grass Grow, Fire Brigade, Flowers In The Rain & Blackberry Way (The Move).

Ball Park Incident, Are You Ready To Rock, Angel Fingers, See My Baby Jive and of course, I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday (Wizzard).

Very enjoyable.

Saw DMA's in Manchester last night. Absolutely outstanding night. My favourite band of the last god-knows how many years.

Off to see tears for fears in Liverpool on Saturday

Forgot to mention ...

Andy Scott's Sweet at the Parr Hall, Warrington on December 21.

All of the Sweet's hits and as long as you accept only one of the original four members, still an excellent show.

Three coming up in February ...

Stone Broken

Slash / Myles Kennedy

Godsmack

Really looking forward to all three.

A fantastic evening at Leeds Brudenell yesterday with three excellent bands. I'm a big fan of Stone Broken but was equally impressed with Hollowstar and Those Damn Crows. They all deserve whatever success comes their way.

Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators supported by Phil Campbell and the B*stard Sons at the Dome, Doncaster last night.

Phil Campbell - Great cover of Motorhead's Born To Raise Hell and a couple of decent songs of their own ... but ... plenty of bands doing this sort of stuff. Unfortunately, missed Freak Show due to the long queues to get in.

Slash - Fantastic to see the legend that is Saul Hudson. Myles Kennedy much, much better than when fronting Alter Bridge at Leeds Arena in December 2016. Great set, the highlights for me being Boulevard of Broken Hearts, You're A Lie and Anastasia.

Not sure what the venue capacity is for a standing gig but it did seem over-subscribed.

Saw the Eagles earlier this year at Leeds Arena.

Great to finally see Joe Walsh. Excellent show, very polished and all the hits were there. If there was one negative, it was that there is little or no camaraderie or interaction between the guys on stage.

A few gigs lined up in the coming weeks ...

Ghost - Leeds Arena (November)

The Sweet - Warrington Parr Hall (December)

Five Finger Death Punch / Megadeth / Bad Wolves - Wembley Arena (January 2020)

Tickets also booked for ...

Whitesnake / Foreigner / Europe - Newcastle Arena (June 2020)

Ghost, excellent last night in Leeds. Didn't disappoint and finished on a real high with crowd pleasers Dance Macabre and Square Hammer.

I’m off to watch Scotland’s finest The Just Joans next week.

Also saw Eagles last year but at Manchester Arena. The guys sounded brilliant, in particular Joe Walsh. Hasn't lost his voice at all and didn't miss a note all night on the guitar. Was good to hear then play some James Gang songs. Thought Deacon played really well too and sounded awesome on Take It Easy.

The White Buffalo is in Manchester in a few months so looking to go to that. Saw him live 18 months ago and the he has the best voice live I've ever heard.
Then hopefully will get to see Volbeat soon and Alestorm again.

Slightly disappointed with the Sweet this time compared to 12 months earlier. I personally think that the line up changes have resulted in a slightly inferior live show or possibly that the new line up hasn't fully clicked yet.

Bad Wolves, Megadeth & Five Finger Death Punch at Wembley Arena a couple of weeks ago.

A very enjoyable evening. Bad Wolves and Five Finger Death Punch were every thing I hoped for and more.

Great to see Dave Mustaine over his health scare and Megadeth are really tight musically.

I’m off too watch the marvellous Chastity Belt in Manchester again

I don't half miss live music....

Yes, me too.

Would have been Whitesnake with Foreigner & Europe earlier this month, Rammstein last weekend and still have a number of tickets booked for gigs which probably won't happen including Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band & Genesis.

Awful isn't it.
I'm missing DMA'S at Castlefield Bowl, and probably DMA'S at Ally Pally in October. Plus a bunch of other little ones here and there

Finally getting to see some live music later this week.

Inglorious at Nottingham Rock City. Bring it on

Great to be back listening to and watching live music last night at Nottingham Rock City.

Inglorious being my first post lockdown gig. Very enjoyable and it will be interesting to see if they can kick on from Nathan Jones split with three of his previous bandmates prior to the pair of albums released this year.

Genesis at Liverpool Arena tomorrow. A mixture of anticipation and apprehension.

DMA'S at Ally Pally Oct 29th, Liverpool Arena Oct 30th, Manchester Victoria Warehouse 2nd and 3rd November





Cannot bloody wait

Bucket lister ticked off for the lady. An enjoyable evening and a decent show even allowing for Phil Collins condition. If you couldn't see him you wouldn't know, absolutely no issue with the voice. Most of the hits played (Abacab a notable exception for me) and some Gabriel-era material covered for good measure.

In view of the subsequent cancellations, we were very lucky.

Cloudbusting, a tribute to the music of Kate Bush, at the Brindley, Runcorn last night

An excellent interpretation of the Bexleyheath singer / songwriter's work with Mandy Watson expertly replicating those pretty unique vocals.

Well i must say it's fantastic to have normality back. Didn't catch covid neither
