So far this year it’s been:
Bruce & The E St Band – Live Emirates Stadium London. Great gig but terrible sound. I saw them end of last year at the 02 and they were superb.
The Black Crowes – Live in Brixton. Superb. Gig of the year.
Stevie Wonder – terrible gig at the 02 last week. Too much waffle and drum and percussion solo’s. Where were the classic hits? I guess he saved them till the end but I didn’t stick around that long. Left before the end. He stopped the music to talk about the death of his mother (I paid £70 to be entertained, not depressed.) He’s still got the talent but I’m afraid his setlist and endless talk about the US presidency spoilt the night for me.
Next up for me is Status Quo in October. Should be a good night. Great live band.
Sadly not quite as good a year as last for gigs. Bruce Springsteen and Led Zeppelin at the 02 in December were the real highlights. Cant really beat those two.
And now I’m a little gigged out. Not many acts left that I want to see before they stop playing. Only really Fleetwood Mac and Bob Dylan.
