Big Rider Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Toots and the Maytals at the O2 ABC tonight. Brilliant! What a voice Toots Hibbert has. Loved the call and response stuff with the audience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were shite. Toots' voice is in great nick, but large chunks of that were boring as f**k. Sweet & Dandy and 54-46 were the only highlights for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Bit of a pain in the arse having to wait until I get paid on Friday to try for Arcade Fire tickets. Just need to hope that the LN pre-sale has tickets left in the early hours. Don't really give a f**k if it's standing or not. Being at the gig seating is better than not being there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rider Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Up to you pal but I reckon the audience reaction tells a different story. Cracking performance from a legend in his 70s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tells us more about you than the gig tbf. Pressure Drop, Bam Bam, Sweet and Dandy, Funky Kingston, 54-46, Monkey Man and loads more, nearly 2 hours of the legend at work and most likely the last time we'll get to see him in Scotland. Enjoyable evening for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyable evening for me. I do know what I'm going to get at one of his gigs, since that was the fourth time I've seen him. Just because he played all the hits, doesn't mean he played them well. As I said, his voice was in great nick. I think it was more his band that were flat. Definitely the worst time I've seen them. Sound wasn't great either, which it was abundantly clear Toots thought so as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather isn't exactly looking like summer so I'm just hoping it stays dry for the gig. Should be good nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to get a ticket to see Brian Wilson there on Thursday. Cracking wee venue, although rain would be a game changer. Saw Super Furry Animals last year and I'm going to see Seasick Steve next week.Sound seemed fine to me at SFA, to be fair I was steaming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
