I wouldn't bother with the stereophonic as I find them a bit derivative ....but you know its better to hear derivative pub rock than the spice girls , just my view
Firstly enormous gigs like this .....50000 plus ? ......have never appealed to me ...I saw U2 in Cardiff 30 plus years ago and Sabbath in Milton Keynes in 1998 but it was bloody hard work to be honest ......getting to the venue, waiting around , having to engage with pissed people ......there will be lots on the beers today ......in 30 degrees heat ! ....watching the support bands .......standing around .....
I would rather go down the beach listen to music on my headphones then go home and chill!
Is it just me ?
Leading up to lockdown and since I just can't be arsed with live music anymore
Even TOOL playing in the new arena in Cardiff would be an effort these days
On my way but may get off in bridgend and go home nowOriginally Posted by SLUDGE FACTORY
I am just glad to be out and about - city games concerts etc went to see gerry cinnamon in the castle two weeks ago and now the phonics and Sir Tom and see Florence and the machine in November so happy days
Was also supposed to see the macc lads but that fell through

I love live music.
Having been to bigger concerts in Millennium, Morfa and CCS. I did prefer the size and the atmosphere of the CIA. The O2 was ok just a ball ache getting too and from and staying oiled.
I preferred the atmosphere of the tribute acts in the Tramshed and Globe or even the live bands in the bars.
Wouldn’t bother with stadiums anymore.
Don't disagree it is not just either or for me it can be both
It's just a ball ache these days
When I'm back I go to quite a few gigs.
Although I couldn't think of anything worse than listening to the Stereophonics - such a contrived & whiny voice whiney like steptoe being cheese grated.
The spice girls
Need to update your cultural references!
Bought tickets a few months ago to see Tears for Fears/Garbage at an outdoor venue close to Baltimore.
Now it's close to the show (Sunday)...
I just don't think I can be arsed to drive up there and stay in the heat humidity.
Love the smaller venues like the Acapela in Pentyrch. Watch the band close up not the big screens either side of the stage and sometimes a chance to talk to the artists afterwards. Prices not so bad either.
Tears for Fears are playing at Cardiff Castle next month. I like plenty of their stuff, especially the first album, so I was considering going until I saw the prices. The cheapest standing tickets are £74.00 plus booking fees. It really is a mad world.
Off to see Liam Gallagher down the Bay in a few months. What is the outside venue like? Any good ?
I saw the great Tom Robinson at the Acapela Studio a few weeks ago. Really enjoyed it. Been there plenty of times in recent years for a variety of shows. Strange venue, but the staff are good people and there's always a decent atmosphere. Haven't tried the pizza yet, though.
I want to go to see The Damned original line up in Birmingham in November
But £74 a ticket ffs
I paid £20 last time
seen the 'phonics a fair few times at both festivals and stand alone gigs
always put on a decent show, the early albums are my fav
not going tonight, as been to a few recently, Reef at Colston Hall ( 02 ), Ed at the Mill stadium and Queen at Londons 02 ( on Tuesday this week ) so gave tonights one a miss
I love live gigs, big and small, each has its merits and downfalls
Hoping I can get a freebie to Rammstein
Not my sort of music usually but know they put on a show
Stereophonics and Tom Jones don't particularly appeal to me, but might watch a bit on TV. I think people are still embracing the freedoms that coming out of lockdown is giving them, especially for these 2 concerts that have been rearranged.
Much prefer smaller gigs and seen some crackers recently. Tomorrow I'm seeing a Kate Bush tribute act at the Tramshed who are supposed to be very good.
Yup $137 here for 2.
How many hours drive is Washington dc to baltimore?
They certainly do , great riffing too
Who are supposed to be very good ?
You mean she is ?
I just can't be arsed to go anymore . Birmingham NEC , Nottingham Rock City , Bingley Hall , Milton Keynes Bowl , Glastonbury , Reading , Wembley ......seen my share of bands ...
But now even a trip to that new 3000 capacity venue in Swansea would have to be for a very good band
I’ve never liked the phonics, too bland and dull. Recall seeing them outside the city hall headlining the big weekend before they were famous but that’s the only time I’ve seen them. Used to go to loads of gigs and festivals but just can’t be arsed with so many people and idiots anymore…..in other words I’m getting old…..
It's the march of time. You are slowing down. Bit by bit you are finding reasons to spend ever more time at home. It's going to rain, it's too hot or cold, it's stupidly expensive, it's too much hassle.
You like music, why not utilise your increasing home time by learning to play a musical instrument to reproduce anything from Bach's Minuet in G Major to Benny Hill's The Fastest Milkman in the West and everything in between that you care to?
I'd nominate a blues harmonica. The very best money can buy is just thirty quid - https://theharmonicacompany.com/prod...v=79cba1185463
The best of any other instrument would cost a bomb... but a blues harmonica is more expressive than any of them, something you can put your soul into.
There's plenty of teaching resources out there https://www.youtube.com/user/del78ful/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/firezapa/videos
And it's possible to make even the most familiar tunes sound new. Here's an example of some soul transferring - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8MrZvCuaSU
My ears are phucked after playing drums for over 25 years.
So i avoid gigs
About an hour and a half give or take depending on which part of the area and the Beltway Traffic.
