MSU Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Echo and the Bunnymen in Detroit last Friday were superb. It may be the one and only time me and Mrs MSU will be able to truthfully tell the box office that "We're on the guest list" and it was a great experience. Ian McCulloch's banter with the crowd between songs was as unintelligible as it's ever been. According to our sound engineer friend, and the reason for our guest list status, he was mostly going on about Scottish Independence but it was impossible to decipher if he was pro or anti. The support act were Warhorses, a local Detroit band called up at short notice when the scheduled support canceled, and they're well worth checking out if you're into "that sort of thing." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen them twice in bigger venues so will be good to see them in La Belle which is a venue I like. Have you seen the original line up, or just the post-Jello version? I'd be interested to know if the current line up is any good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only 12/13 when punk started and didn’t really have the cash to go to concerts. Having never seen them with Jello I can’t really compare but the gigs I’ve seen have been excellent and Ron Greer does a good job as frontman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the Bunnymen for the umpteenth time in February at the Barrowlands and Mrs K spent the entire concert asking me “what did he say”, needless to say I hadn’t a bloody clue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The Royal Concert Hall informed them that the venue will be closed all day on Monday the 19th of September due to the Queens funeral taking place on that day. Therefore the concert scheduled for that night will no longer take place, and will potentially be rescheduled. FWIW I think that is a load of nonsense.Easter previously recorded there with orchestra is tremendous on YouTube. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squonk Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 10 hours ago, Richey Edwards said: Was meant to see Marillion on Monday but it's been cancelled. Hopefully it gets rescheduled. Gutted to miss this too. There are a few dates between the end of the UK part of the tour (30th Sept) and the start of the continental Europe leg (16th Oct) that the Royal Concert Hall is available, but I guess the logistics mean it's probably not as straightforward as that, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I was at Adam Ant tonight. I was not sure how good he would be live, but he was very good. A really enjoyable gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnderooMFC Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Lesbian Bed Death at Bannerman's last Thursday. Initially bought the ticket because I didn't have a gig for September, it was cheap, and I liked the daft name. Actually had a good time. A mix of gothic punk and hard rock with a horror theme, with songs like "Bela Lugosi's Back" and "Pretty But Mental" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Marillion last night at the Glasgow Academy. Very good gig. Although the temporary seating in there is absolutely gash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Hogarth's vocals were superb, not to mention his increasingly alcohol-fuelled banter. Excellent gig spoiled very slightly, as you say, by the narrow and painful seating.

NorthernLights Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Zeal & Ardor ticket purchased for 11th of November. First time I'll have been to a gig at Oran Mor. Having been going to gigs for over 20 years now its always nice when you get to go to a new venue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
