From the Jam + The Selecter, live in Bournemouth
Familiar sounds replayed from my youth by From the Jam and The Selecter. Always a great pleasure. This time in Bournemouth.
The Rolling Stones live in Hyde Park
My gig of the year so far. Delivered in every way and I was amazed at how good these old boys are.
ABC live in Bath
An irresistible orchestral performance of Lexicon of Love by ABC, to celebrate its 40th birthday and my gig buddy Dave’s 60th.
The Flaming Lips live in London
An extraordinary show with an inflatable monster and rainbow, a flying bird toy and a bubble that the lead singer performed a significant part of the set from. All is normal for a Flaming Lips show it seems.
The Killers live at Southampton F.C.
The long wait for The Killers UK tour is over and the crowd are on the pitch ready at the home of Southampton Football Club: Killers do Saints as I hit the bar.
Pet Shop Boys in Bournemouth
The synth-pop duo that were a backdrop to the late 80s and early 90s are back out on a big tour, tonight visiting Bournemouth. A curious grey-haired gig goer is there near the front.
Whitesnake live in Birmingham
A rare foray into 70s heavy rock for the grey-haired gig goer. Whitesnake – the Farewell Tour – with Foreigner and Europe providing some solid rock supports. Quite a trio.
My Chemical Romance play the Eden Project
A very unusual setting for the return of My Chemical Romance after a decade. Hope the plants enjoyed it. I did.
Gary Numan live in Plymouth
Gary Numan back on tour and very much back riding another wave of enthusiasm for his newer albums as well as his early ones.
