And this new one from Eels - as good as anything they've done for years - reminds me of their very early stuff....
Definately need the headphones on to appreciate this one.... Sounds very like Groundhogs in the middle of the track....
Cheapest tickets here were $80 or 40 quid Unknown to me Mrs kiwi paid $300 a ticket She's the fan and they had an uninterrupted view of the stage from row 3 Towards the end I got her up and we went to the fence separating the crowd from the stage Security had obviously seen us all night cause when people from the row behind us tried to do the same they were told to go back to the seats Anyway Roger waters came down from the stage and bumped fists with my wife an me and the few others who were there during the last song Made her night The show was in two halves and I thought the second half was a more polished performance They have had a break and this was the first performance together for a while Mrs kiwi thought it was perfect but she is the fan Elo Alanis and Colin hay was$99 for the day 50 quid They all played for at least 90 minutes and they were all great Seems like we might actually be getting value for money with some of the touring acts steely
My first exposure to pyschedelia came with these guys, would've been mid-70s and I was about 8, when my uncle gave me his spare copies of Split and Thank Christ For The Bomb which he had somehow managed to duplicate....
Nice and cheap down there then Kiwi....most of the gigs I go to are in much smaller venues, and cost between £12-25 - even my sons' bands gigs cost between £6 and £8! I'm buying tickets for this tomorrow.... £60 for the day, not too bad. Saw Radiohead there last year, great day out - it's killed off T in the Park though which was our biggest festival - went 10 years on the trot but it had started to go downhill with ****e artists and big groups of kids out of their faces on drugs. TRNSMT is now in a park in Glasgow city centre, over 2 weekends, with no camping, a lot easier to police - and only 35 minutes on the train for me!! Other headliners announced are The Killers, Liam Gallagher and Stereophonics, with Bruno Mars also doing a mid-week slot. Still need my festival fix though, so we're booked up for Doune The Rabbit Hole again (6th year) which is much smaller scale (about 2000 people) with some lesser known, but still really good bands, plus some very leftfield guests - saw "Steve Davis SnookerStar DJ" (I've not made that up, that was how he was billed!) do a midnight session of house and trance music in a tent, and he was very good Toying with the idea of an overseas festival, somewhere in Europe, either this year or next, but there's so many to chose from!
Some new stuff now, although this wouldn't have sounded out of place on my turntable back in the mid-80s....
