Craig fae the Vale Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 The National at the Hydro tonight. Bloody fantastic. Sounded absolutely massive from the first song til the end of their 2 and a quarter hour set. Played all the songs I hoped I'd hear. Great energy and crowd interaction. Great show. Support from Soccer Mommy who were technically fine but not the most exciting watch. Real lack of energy, just wonder if the setting was too big for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic gig, Matt loved going into the crowd, also a nice tribute to Scott Hutchison. Love Space Invader song in the new album and it's even better watching them play it live. It's was the same in Atlanta, like a lot of Soccer Mummy song too but even at a venue just smaller than the Barrowlands didn't really work out well Polly Jean Harvey at Barrowlands tonight - excited as I was last night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd looked superb from where I was sitting. First time I've been seated at the Hydro when there's been a standing area, really fun looking down and seeing the crowd react. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I nearly got my head taken off by his mic wire during Graceless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Thought it would be hard to top the National gig but PJ Harvey just did that at one of the best venues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at tour lists and you see 1 date for Scotland, and it tends to be Glasgow or Edinburgh. I think artists shoot themselves in the foot slightly, trying to play for the English market. I get there are greater populations to play too down there, but I'm not believing that alot of those nights are any more populated than doing 3 or 4 dates across Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Tried for Texas tickets for 2024 but no joy , managed to get Usher Hall OMD standing tickets, one out of two not so bad I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get Texas sorted in the presale. I think they’ll add an extra hydro show if that first one is gone already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and anyone else) A bootleg of this is now online here: The National Live at OVO Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland on 2023-09-24 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive The same person put up their Dublin and Leeds dates already, and they're going to do the two London nights from this week, where they played two entirely different setlists - 58 different songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanton Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Saw Jill Jackson last night at The MacArts in Galashiels, decent night a wee bit different to last weekend’s Hayseed Dixie & The Complete Stone Roses , I’ve got Urban Voodoo Machine next Saturday and Wrest later in the month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Seven gigs booked for October. The Hut Sessions at King Tut's which is four acoustic singer songwriters. Bit different from my usual but should be good. The Nashville Reunion Tour at the Armadillo. Four of the stars of the guilty pleasure TV show. Again, a bit different from my usual but I'm really looking forward to it. Future Palace at Audio. Punk Rock Factory at the O2 Academy. Go_a at St Lukes. Think this one could be pretty special. Very different and apparently sensational live. Fall Out Boy at the Hydro. Meet Me @ the Altar at King Tuts. Should be a good month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the second London show, where they went pretty deep into their catalogue. I thought it was great as I've seen the "A set" a couple of times before, but I heard a few grumbles from people who were at their first National gig and were expecting all the favourites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Gaslight Anthem at the O2 Academy Glasgow in March. Presale tomorrow, general sale Friday. Will hopefully be able to sort tickets out for that, it's been a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthefife Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 If anyone's interested I've got a spare ticket going for Lauren Mayberry (CHVRCHES) solo show @ Glasgow SWG3 on Thursday night. Ticket cost £27.50 but more than happy to just round it up to £25. Ticket can't be transferred, so I'm happy to meet at the door! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Was in the top tier at Usher Hall for The Waterboys last night and obviously in front of us were a group of coked up weegies who turned up 10 minuites late, wouldn't stop talking and playing on their phones. Noticed that in the Grand Circle there was a few free seats so treated ourselves to a free upgrade away from the reprobates for the second set, once this was done it was a really enjoyable gig. Why can people not be complete arseholes when going to gigs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolute weirdo behaviour that sadly we're seeing more and more of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
