Foo Fighters in July, oh yes!

Sold my tickets on.... decided it was too much faff to go to Milton Keynes for the day.

Used the proceeds to fund three more economical gigs closer to home.

Roger Waters on Thursday, Hayseed Dixie next week. Belle & Sebastian in a couple of weeks.Went to Avenue Q a couple of weeks ago. Saw Alan Ackbourns Absurd person singular at Leicester Curve this evening, going to Simon Evans next week. Scissor Sisters and Blondie in July.

I've even been to Paris just to see a band.

Going to see live shows is how Mrs VC and I entertain ourselves.

Another for Roger Waters on thursday (just been reminded about it at the pub!)
Rush (Brum and the O2) towards the end of the month.
Journey, Whitesnake in June.

mebbe Sonisphere
possibly a female-metal-voices thang in Birmingham around the late may bank holiday
Oh, and the High Voltage festival - Judas Priest* and Dream Theater headlining
*sadly missing KK Downing..

For the record:
last week was Die So Fluid, Marty Friedman (different days!)
The month or so before was Epica/Revamp, SymphonyX, Accept...

Graspop was kinda on the cards but the logistics vs holiday allocation looks like that's a bit impractical
(hmm....that means I can still see Nightranger...yehaar !)

Hayseed Dixie - should be fun - saw them at Download a few years ago.

Wow!

Thanks, going out is just a habit we slipped into. I can't just sit in and watch Eastenders or spend most nights propping up a bar like most people I work with.

Southside Johnny in October. Better sort some more!

Been to quite a few already but it's a bit quiet on the gig front from now on. I've seen Lau a couple of times, the decemberists, jeff mills, and a couple of really brilliant classical concerts. I try to keep an eye out for good gigs but it's the other half who is more organized with this.

Last year we saw broken social scene, godspeed you! black emperor, tortoise and goldfrapp in a short space of time so were quite gigged out for a while...

Rush in a couple of weeks at the O2. It will be my first O2 visit and my first Rush gig in.........31 years.

I'm playing at my granddaughter's Christening next month. Does that count as a gig?

Superb! Is he doing some dates in europe? His website seems to show a blank for oct.

I saw him in the programme listing for The Stables near MK.

Just checked and found this site which shows a gig in Germany, he'll tack a few more European dates on before October though I'd have thought.
