The Concert Thread

[Edington]

Went to see The Who on Friday night in Derby. A mate managed to get tickets for £7.50 each the night before, so obviously I couldn't turn that down.

You know what I was pleasantly surprised. They played the songs I knew, the orchestra complimented the songs well, Roger and Pete sounded great for blokes reaching their 80s (Roger's vocals on Love Rein O'er Me blew me away), and the rain stopped in time for the gig! So all in all, I can't complain for £7.50, I think I paid more for a pint.

I was at the O2 for their show on Wednesday, paid slightly more than £7.50 for my ticket.

I was pleasantly surprised too, great performances from all, recognised more of the set than I expected (though I hadn't done my homework so still got a bit lost at a few points) and was surprised at how diverse their music can be. Had a funny moment where Roger had to restart Behind Blue Eyes as he was having monitor issues, having apparently been late for the soundcheck. Seems whatever caused Dave Murray to be late for Saturday's gig was still causing problems.

The Who’s tour has been a flop in several markets and tickets have been offered at VERY reduced prices.

 

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

Yeah my ticket should have cost over £100, a ridiculous cost quite frankly. There's a reason why I got them for the price I did.

 

[GhostofCain]

It’s already happened! I have been told that I look like Geddy Lee…

Nothing wrong with that. Better Geddy Lee than Di’Anno!

Joking aside, Moving Pictures were superb. 2 hours and 30 minutes of Rush awesomeness, covering many eras. Among other songs, they played the R30 overture, parts of 2112, Xanadu, Closer to the Heart, the Hemispheres prelude, The Trees, La Villa Strangiato, Freewill, Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer, YYZ, Limelight, Subdivisions, Between the Wheels, Marathon, Roll the Bones, Far Cry…

They were supported by Leoni Jane Campbell, a female solo artist who played some solo compositions and some acoustic Rush covers. Great stuff.

Nice to read you enjoyed the show mate!

Drove my son 4 hours North yesterday for us to see Heathen, Exhorder, & Overkill last night in Dallas! Enjoyed each band but each one more than the previous.
Can tell my boy was really impressed with Overkill. Blitz still sounds great after all the years!
This was my 11th Overkill show but 1st time for other 2 bands.

[MrKnickerbocker]

Saw Clutch for the 11th time last night - they were magnificent as always and played a pretty great setlist (last time in Chicago was far too many old songs and deep cuts for my liking).

I only need one more Clutch show in my future to make them my most seen live band. It’s an easy feat when they tour the area like twice a year.

Have fun!

Saw Moving Pictures (Rush tribute band) this afternoon (different from the one mentioned earlier in this thread). My son and friends all had to work so went alone. Glad I did!
Their video screen and performance was great!
Though I think Rush Tribute Project is more professional (their guitarist AND bassist both use double necks during Xanadu plus MP guitarist dressed like he just woke up).

Set was a history of 1st 10 years (74-84) in backwards order (except the encore).
I filmed some of it and have posted the highlights below.

Opener was a Police tribute called Ghost in the Machine. They were good but during their set the A/C wasn't working (was over 100 degrees outside and even though was indoors, show was on a roof top so was brutal!).
Luckily A/C was fixed by time MP took stage.

Distant Early Warning
Subdivisions
Limelight
YYZ
Red Barchetta
Tom Sawyer
Spirit of Radio
Freewill
La Villa Strangiato
Trees
Xanadu
2112 Overture
Temples
Grand Finale
Working Man

Encore:
Far Cry

ABBA Voyage - 13th August

So this ruled, might be my best concert experience outside of Maiden. Amazing venue, stunning light and visual show, a near-perfect setlist. ABBA's music is genuinely incredible and deserves to be heard at full volume, there I said it

I wasn't massively keen on the two new songs, they were good but not particularly memorable, though I get that the band would use this show to promote them. There were some surprising set omissions too, I wonder if they might switch the new tunes out for some bigger hits later down the line.

I'm waiting for the day where two of the ABBA holograms go rogue, leap out of the screen, and proceed to terrorize the Stratford area.

Thankfully it was not this day, but it's coming I'm sure.

I should be seeing Metallica live twice within a week!

OK, it is going to be in my local cinema but the fact that they are in fine form and playing two completely different setlists is a strong incentive to be there. The fact that Tony Newton would not be mixing the shows is also a bonus!

 

[terrell39]

My son and I will be at Friday show on Arlington. Might check out the Met merch store if no line to get in.

 

[terrell39]

Metallica in Arlington was amazing! Set covered almost every lp and stage/lights/Pyro was great!

Pantera and Mammoth WVH played great but in AT&T Stadium the sound wasn't the greatest (except Metallica sounded fine).

Packed place!
Took 90 MINUTES to leave the parking lot after the show!

I was there! Well, not REALLY there but I was at Guildford Odeon watching the show. Great performance and great selection of songs for the most part.

Really enjoyed the experience, so I will be at show #2 too!

P.S. So glad Tony Newton was nowhere near the mixing desk!

 

[GhostofCain]

Well, Metallica night #2 also rocked. They did play some songs I do not care about like Dirty Window off St. Anger (at least it does not feature an endless slow bass intro and outro though ) or No Leaf Clover, but kudos to them for playing a completely different set.

I got to see them play the following 32 songs over both shows:

Learning more about the All Within My Hands organisation before the show was quite inspirational. An example to follow.

 

[ScarfaceOne]

Haven't really been to any concerts yet, I'm hoping Halsey does a tour in the future and I also hope Bruce Dickinson will do another spoken word tour in the UK. I know this sounds a bit weird but I actually want to go to a pop concert in the future, even though I like Rock Music, primarily, I want to win or apply for tickets to the Capital FM Summertime Ball, depending on if Halsey tours in the future.
