Musketeer Gripweed Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I am there on Tuesday but I'm not driving. I think I won by volunteering to drive to the Iron Maiden gig on Monday. Hope no one talks to me on Wednesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind an extra walk (although I think it's supposed to piss down both days) you could do that. What street mate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argyle st at the top of Finnieston St there is plenty of choice. Sat out in the sunshine at Lebowskies the other night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye brilliant , can't believe it's been 15 years since I last seen them ! Kudos to Matt for still coming right down the runway on thought contagion when it was raining so hard I literally couldn't keep my eyes open ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG.Roma Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Another one at Muse here, absolutely outstanding, loved every minute. That's a band and a production crew at the top of their game, incredible. Twin Atlantic in support were pish. So basic. The Warning before them were excellent. Three Mexican sisters playing right good rock music. Would love to see them in their own show. Really entertaining watch too particularly the drummer. Loads of folk around us moaning about the time Muse were going on at. First of all, there's a power of work to do in turnover between support and a main act like that, you can't cut corners. Ok maybe they could have gone on slightly earlier, but it's an outdoor gig with pyro and a massive light show. They're always going to leave it as late as possible so it's as dark as it can be. Plus, set times are communicated before the show, they were on time. 55 minutes ago, microdave said: Looking ahead to Tuesday, I have some important questions. What drinks are on sale at the bar? And what are the prices? £6.50 for a Carlsberg, £7.50 for a spirit and mixer. For a rum & coke, it was rum, and then some flat Pepsi Max poured out of a plastic bottle. Apparently they can't give you "a shot" as they put it, so if you want to get a can from a food vendor & sort out your own measure, or just have a wee whisky, tough luck. Another joke was the 150 step airport style zigzag to get to the bar, even when it was close to empty. Anyway, a great gig, as was The Hu on Thursday. They were excellent. The sound and the crowd were much better than at SWG3 in December. Thoroughly enjoyed it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Away to see The black keys at the Hydro tonight. Looking forward to seeing Spoon who I haven't seen since 2006 at All Tomorrow Parties festival. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnderooMFC Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 At Muse too. Absolutely amazing stuff from them. 16 years since the last time I seen them and show and band were top notch. 1 hour ago, DG.Roma said: Twin Atlantic in support were pish. So basic. The Warning before them were excellent. This was my fourth time seeing Twin Atlantic. I wouldn't say they were bad, but if it'd been up to me there's between 2-4 from that setlist I'dve swapped out and I think it'dve gone better. Ok, it's before Muse Sam, but no-one that doesn't already like you will be convinced by your weird electronic-type songs. First album mate, first album. The Warning got it right and got a much better reception. Maybe go see them headline too if things worked out right. As for the times, everything should've been earlier imo. Probably held back because it was a Friday and they wanted to wait for the work punters to get there, but 90% of the time the main act will come on at 9 instead of 9.20. Use that as a starting point, shift everything forwards 20mins and you'll have the same time for turnover but an earlier finish. Or maybe I'm just moaning cause I was the sad b*****d outside from 10.30am. 20th in the que and was at the barrier though, so worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised he got back. Normally the crowd is ok if they saw you leave or can see your pal you're trying to get back too. They did have a row of portapotties on the outside of the gate so the last time you could've reasonably went and not felt bad was about 3.30pm. Personally I had one bottle of pepsi sitting in the que and that was all I had to drink during that time. An intentional partial dehydration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iminavest Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 40 years on, back at the scene of The Dons most famous night to see The E Street Band. Murrayfield was excellent but European nights bring the band alive. Bruce is some boy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
