first: snuff at london astoria
last: dropkick murphys at manchester academy
how did that happen?
Last: Mark Ronson.
Seeing Portishead next week. I'm excited.
5 kids and a job
I may start going again when the eldest is a bit older.
In fact, he wants to go to a punk all-dayer in Birmingham later this year, which is where the thread idea starts.
A reformed Buzzcocks, Damned and Zounds.... oh yes indeed, I wanna be there
omega mooo: (mike) relm, neil armstrong & me at some art gallery in nyc, ny. March 31st, 2008
good Portishead interview in Mojo this month
Beth sounds intense in the extreme
Last: Charlie Hunter Trio last weekend.
Budos Band is playing only 1 gig in Holland on the 21st of april...really excited about that one. How are they live?
budos band - asbury park a few months ago...great as well !
You have seen GI man...think they only made it once to Europe in the 80's but I was just getting into hardcore and I didn't know who they were so I missed out on them.
yea they were good. Two of the songs from the show ended up getting comped on their live album. A few years later. My second show was 7 seconds / adrenalin o.d. / homo picnic. Attempted and landed my first stage dive at that show.
Last Gig: 12/07 - The Budos Band at Asbury Lanes, and before that the Budos at Lucky Cat in BK. I was lucky enough to be spinning records before the band both times.
Patti Smith 12/30/07 at the 9:30
Last show, was Radio Birdman in Minneapolis, was it already last August/Sept? Late 2007 anyway. The last 4 shows I have attended were Radio Birdman stops in the US over the last 2 years. I am not big on crowds these days.
Last: Umm...that's a good question. I really don't go to shows anymore, just don't want to hassle with the crowds, loud noise and shit. Honestly, the last show I went to might've been Bob Dylan with Willie Nelson opening in August 2004.
My friend got the flu last minute and was practically suicidal she had to miss the concert. My Mom and Dad drove me there, my Dad helped me sell the ticket and then they picked me up after show. It was thrilling and also frustrating, too many screaming girls!!
RZA - Phoenix, about three weeks ago
It was kinda goofy.
Next show is Bitty McLean, Ken Boothe and Treson - location TBA.
Last gig - ... aside from club gigs, I can't remember... maybe Wu-Tang Clan / Cut Chemist / DJ Shadow @ T In The Park in Glasgow...
Last: DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist at the 9:30 Club. Great and depressing (as a DJ) at the same time.
Going to see Widespread Panic tonite at the Warner and have Radiohead tickets for this summer.
I'll wager Andrew Gold can do a killer 20 minutes
Such good hits in that little run on Slip Away/Lonely Boy/Thank You for Being a Friend
latest was a gig I had to spin at...Lucero (The New Mary jane opened which is the 2 main dudes from The Grifters, they were pretty cool)
Last gig I attened because I wanted to see the band was Adios Gringo...
ah, I see. I have one, so I can imagine..
Get a sitter for an evening and get yourskelf out the house!
My first = I'm guessing GOTCHA! (Dutch funkband) but I'm not sure.
Last gig = Alpha Blondy
Last was probably something smaller, and local, maybe one of my friends bands. The last proper gig I went to were the festivals last year.
I was at that show.
First: Monsters Of Rock tour w/ Van Halen, Scorpions, Metallica, DOKKEN, and some other band. Houston, 1988.
Last: Morrissey last May.
last: pharoah scion show at warehouse live in houston, it was
Last: Sharon Jones at the Belly Up in Encinitas. Highly recommended and so necessary.
I said my first concert was government issue. Now I remember Ronnie Milsap played after a phillies game in 77 or something. I wasn't feelin it.
Last: Living Legends and Ab Rude about a month ago
last: ooooooh, some horrible, horrible local rapper at the varsity theatre last month.
last good show: cut chemist and shadow at first ave in feb.
next show: possibly kraftwerk at the myth on the 19th.
First rock concert (a lot of rock in this thread) was Spirit opening for BB King at American University in 1970. It was a free show. Was supposed to start at 8 but didn't start till 10. My dad was picking us up at midnight, so we only saw Spirit. Giant tom tom drum solo! (all times are approximate as best I can remember.)
Latest show was Pink Martini at the Shnitz. Great show and it started on time.
