Ok then, "Last band you saw Live"
« on: March 30, 2013, 09:19:49 AM »
As mentioned by lotty.

We saw Robert Cray in March this year at Nottingham, a superb blues technician who was excellent. Previously we saw Jools Holland and his orchestra at the same venue, he struck me as a really nice guy, bigging up all those around him.

However I must admit it is all a bit clinical these days, you know the score when the show starts at 7.30, you get a honest trier on first for half an hour then a break for drinks, the main act does an hour and a quarter then exits the stage 15 minutes before the end then an encore and we all stream out to the car park. In days of old I remember drinking at the bar with some of the acts after they finished.

Ho hum, must be getting old.

Westlife during their Final Tour at MEN Arena last May. Although it's my daughter's birthday today, it was a belated birthday treat and we both cried because we wouldn't be seeing them again!

I'm slightly disturbed to realise that the last band I saw was also the first I saw.

The Blockheads - superb   8)
I first saw Ian Dury with Kilburn and the High Roads in 1973 and about 25 times since, culminating with his 'final' performance at The Palladium in London - a diamond geezer and a terrific wordsmith. Still see The Blockheads as often as possible, fabulous musicians.
