vogie Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 One of the biggest names I saw was Bob Dylan in Sheffield, he was also the biggest disappointment on the evening, he seems purposely to blow hot and cold. You couldn't tell what he was singing, he seemed to be growling more than he usually does, many fans walked out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid I put him him the same category as Bob Geldorf and Elvis Castello, people who became 'famous' , with no discernible musical talent and while being tone deaf. Apart from couple of notable exceptions, Bowie could be on that list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltire Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 These are the only 3 bands i seen on 2 consecutive nights, the first night so good straight to the box office for tickets.

On 5/8/2020 at 3:23 AM, ChipButty said: Good or Bad Im sure when you have seen some bands they have not lived up to your expectations Ive seen a few once out of a recording studio not that good. Worst ever was Little Steven, walked out – like several others – half way through his performance...????Most special were the Kinks in Tivoli, Copenhagen, where the police stopped the concert hardly half way through; the audience got mad and smashed the concert hall, so that was for ages the last rock concert in Tivoli... And also not to forget Wham's farewell concert "The Final" 1986 at Wembley in London, felt like the audience was me and some 70.000 crazy screaming teen chicks...???? Most memorable concert was the first Rolling Stones, also in Tivoli Copenhagen, in March 1965 – they had a small hippiebus sized tour-van by that time, but the band flew into Scandinavia – it was Brian Jones that was the Danish teen girls' big love, a huge banner folded down from the balcony with "I love you Brian", and the girls even tried to run onto the stage to hug both Mick and Brian. I'm sitting on first row (at left) here on one of the few press photos from that event...???? Best are many, and if different ways. Some of the many Rolling Stones' concerts I've been too (only missed two of their tours) were outstanding; but also Jetro Tull, especially their first tour to smaller clubs before release of their first album; and Jimi Hendrix in an early stage, and red Indian band Redbone, were all a special "experience". But also shows like Pink Floyd and Michael Jackson has been very impressive – I could go on, but would mention too many – musically it could be Young Rascals and The Doobie Brothers. –So Doobie Brothers gonna be the video impression, live in 1973... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shy coconut Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I've seen a few big names. Fleetwood Mac (mkII) Deep purple, Black Sabbath, the a few months later Ozzy Osbourne after he left, oddly the set was pretty much the same, both at the Hammersmith odeon. I saw Prince doing the purple rain tour at the Wembley arena 6 nights in a row as I had an evening job selling hotdogs in the place. Went to Berlin in 1990 to see the Roger Waters and guests doing the wall. Oddly enough, one of the best gigs I saw was an Aussie band , Mental as anything, at Brunel university in Uxbridge. They put on a great set, had huge energy and interracted with the crowd really well. Just a surprisingly good night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many "great" names are by far overrated, like Joan Baez, Eric Clapton etc. And so many young talents unrecognized, such as Matteo Mancuso etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
