The concert and gig thread

■■■■■■ sorry to have missed that, been so busy I didn’t even know.

Might have to hit up the Croc site today and get on their mail list. That will make it around 11 venues emailing me up to 3 times a week. Don’t s’pose anyone’s come across a single email out list to get on that covers everything in Melbourne have they?

Maybe see if Beat have one?

It’s a Good call, I looked a while back. They have the premium gig guide of course, but I couldn’t find a mail out list unfortunately.:frowning:

Would be the ideal.

Rang and asked them to do one years ago, … or send Beat down to a shop this way, even fkn mail me a copy each week and I’d pay!! Got no joy at all.

Just had another look, and gave them another call, Still no luck, but I signed up for their Newsletter, which will at least prompt to check out Upcoming tours each week … should work. :+1:

Got tix a while back for Mrs Wannabe and myself to see John Mayer in a couple of weeks time.

Was never a big fan as I thought he was “just a pop-singer” but since I’ve started getting back into playing guitar I’ve learnt he’s recognized is one of the best blues/rock guitarists going around, and after checking out some of his youtube stuff, I can see why.

So aside from the hits I’m looking forward to some really long jam/improv sessions from him, and I’m hoping he has a kick ■■■ band with him too.

He’s a great guitar player but geez his songs are pretty generic pop rubbish

Yeah, I wanna see stuff like this. Skip to the 4min mark, dude can play.

Yeah what venue mate?

The Damned. The Croxton.

Tickets on sale Thursday.

Intrigued to go and check this one out.

Anyone seen them before?

Really want to see Paul Kelly but $170 for general admission standing is a fair joke.
Also I waited til payday for Mac Demarco, but now only seating at Festival Hall.

■■■■ it sucks being a uni student.

Anyone going to see U2? l saw their Rattle and Hum tour and it was great. However l fear this might end up as a super annuation style tour, and l don’t hear good things about many other artists doing such tours.

Seen them twice.
Zooropa at the ‘G was jawdroppingly good.
Elevation at Marvel was very meh.

Their gig at Waverley (VFL Park) was outstanding. Or sounded great anyway - I listened to it from the carpark, on a picnic blanket, with copious friends, food & beer. From people leaving afterwards, it seems we had a better time than those inside the arena.

Never bothered with the Elevation tour. Just couldn’t bring myself to go to a tour named after possibly the worst song they’ve recorded (and that’s a big call considering some of the excrement they’ve put out over the last 20 years…)

Seen them 4 times.

3 Times at the Entertainment centre in 84 Fri Sat , … then Sunday wasn’t a sellout so we ante’d up and went again.

Then once for the Tour with BB King at Rod Laver.

They went downhill after that,… in fact they’d already started if I’m honest,… yet somehow went on & played larger shittier Venues, and charged a fortune for tickets, … go figure.

Radio Birdman at the Crozton again soon. $85 is getting too steep though…

Sure is for a band five journos and twenty punters ever liked.

Ouch.

I think they’re great. From Before my time, but I do like them a lot, and a lot of the bands that they’ve influenced.

At that price though, it’s just not worth it, at a local pub ffs.

Probably only ever paid more to see AC/DC, and that was a one off.

Lol. Yeah, deliberately unfairly harsh.
