Concerts So Far

[littlewolf]

Summer's over now.After the last time:

Bruce Springsteen&the E street band
Excellent gig,E street band was tight as ever,Bruce in excellent mood,
song selection full of surprises.

Iron maiden
Great,great gig,Unbelievable feeling,band was in great force,audience going mad.

Kris Kristofferson
Very enjoyable,though hard to imagine more minimalistic performance.
Large part of the set consisted of the songs included on the Essential compilation,
the only record of his,i have,so that was a plus.

Neil Young and his Electric band
First time i saw him live and was pretty much as i expected.
Used a lot of that wall of fuzz noise.Much preferred acoustic or acoustic mode with the band.
Again,i don't have most of his records from last twenty years,luckily,large part of his set was from earlier years.

Richard Thompson
The opposite end of an acoustic gig to Kristofferson's.
Full of fire and witty remarks.
He knew how to hold an audience.
If only i could see Linda live now.

Stray cats
Excellent band,excellent gig
Pretty much a re-run from four years back,with as great gig as this,
no complaints from me.Waiting for the next farewell tour.

R.E.M.
Never been a big fan of theirs,so this was also a very positive surprise.
What i didn't expect was how upbeat they were.Shiny happy people indeed.
Great setlist,varied,rarities and hits.

This has been a fantastic year for gigs(as was last year)
the only gigs for the end of the year are Supergrass(if there are tickets anymore)and Whitesnake.
