Upcoming Concerts

[BUDFORCE]

Question for regular concert goers. Do you take a burner phone of take your usual device with you.

I havent been to a concert for years, and always used to take a burner and not risk my expensive phone.

No but I have a 4 an a half year old cheap Chinese phone, the charging port is getting knackered, the battery is a bit dulles and the back of the phone is pretty smashed up (screen oddly is perfectly fine) - are you worried about getting drunk and loosing it, or people trying to pinch it?

A bit of everything, breaking/dropping it or loosing it or it being stolen.

Never even crossed my mind to not take my normal phone.

Yeah, I mean I take my normal self and thats much more valuable than any material possession, surely?

Noob OP, take your best phone and stop worrying LOL

 

[whiskycycle]

Ditto!

Set list for tour looks immense!

 

[Bassmansam]

Within temptation at the 02 in 2 weeks

 

[Beer_MonsterUK]

Motley Crue and Def Leppard at Bramell Lane. £90 a ticket though, I'm sure I saw both of them in the 80's for a tenner

How was that one? Wanted to go (home turf for me) but had a family clash

Great sound, great voice, not a bum note to be heard. It was really good, first time seeing them but I'd 100% go again. What a voice Taylor Momsen has.

Well I've now got what I'm sure is going to feel like an eternity to wait until July 1st next year for Pulp @ Finsbury Park

 

[marc2003]

Off to see Caroline Polachek at the O2 Academy Brixton in Feb. I cannot flippin' wait.

Porcupine Tree, this evening.

Just back from that. Amazing stuff.

Knowing that metronomes use Gavin Harrison for timing is something else.

Yep, an amazing gig. I wouldn't have minded if Trains and Sound of Muzak hadn't made the set as they've been played at every PT gig I've been to but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a surprise when the opening chord from Even Less played for a while before they came on only for them to go into Blackest Eyes.

Gavin Harrison is something else. I've been lucky enough to see him many times over the years playing with Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, The Pineapple Thief and Steven Wilson. It's quite something to watch him.

Excellent gig - surprised it wasnt filmed.

It was very hot and stuffy in there - thought they were supposed to have increased air flow these days ? Also the queues to the merch desks were insane.

 

[the-evaluator]

We were in the upper tier, stage right side and I was surprised how cool it was, I think a door or two got opened in the second set.

Merch queues were insane! I managed to get in just before the queues got crazy. It didn't help that the merch wasn't organised well so the t-shirts were all grouped together so it took some time for them to find the design and size I wanted so service was really slow. I was pleased that they took card though.
