Really good awesome atmosphere and energy!!! It can easily be the head event for many festivals around the world!!! I would suggest putting him in glastonbury!!!
I think sound issues in Dark Tranquility's set marginalized an otherwise almost perfect gig (good crowd with no stupidity level or pushing). People in the middle rows before/after the moshpit still struggled to hear Mikael Stanne's vocals, and if you moved right to the stage, you were essentially only listening to an instrumental band. I heard the first 2 DT songs from back where the sound mixer guy was sitting, and vocals were a bit more audible there - however anywhere near the stage and you were literally listening to a band playing Dark Tranquility songs as instrumentals.
But Insomnium vocals were more than just audible, they were powerful. I wonder what happened with Dark Tranquility there? Mikael is a powerful vocalist as well so I can't imagine he was the problem. I have seen these 2 same bands before in London, England and the sound was way better in that small venue (Camden Underworld) than The Venue (which is a way more better developed).
Al Jardine with his son Matt, were amazing with their strong vocals and performances. They complimented
Brian and the phenomenal set in the Greatest Hits show.
Sound quality could've been better controlled, but the boys really got after it.
Band and I disagree somewhat on what their best songs are. Too excessive strobe lighting, relentlessly, prevented them from getting a better rating. It's been the fifth time I've seen them, but I preferred their 2012 gig, in which their then most recent album, Observator, was heavily featured, and which contains beautiful pop numbers. Pe'ahi, their 2014 album, which of course got the lion's share in this gig, is a lot more intense and gloomy, a bit too monotonous for my liking.
Fantastic night, JD McPherson is brilliant the whole band had us rocking to the end.
The Islington Assembly Hall is a fabulous venue too, hope to see JD back soon thanks for a great night :)
Blondie Chaplin, who I first met in 1971, was exemplary in his delivery and performances, especially, "Sail on Sailor", one of Brian's most prolific pieces. Blondie's voice was made for that song.
Still kind of hard to believe it actually happened. Probably the best gig I've been to at the Arts Centre and I've been to some corkers.
Had never seen any of the bands before Thursday night. Due to health issues was touch & go as to whether i could attend. Glad i did. What a night! Minor technical issues aside it was one of the better gigs i've been to. Thoroughly enjoyed each set & would (and have) recommended to friends to come along next time if they come back
This is by far the best concert I have ever been to.
I agree. A&B was totally outstanding!
While it was kinda bad that there was not a good danish trance act set as warm up (i.e. Daniel Kandi, Dennis Pedersen etc) the main show of Above and beyond was Fucking amazing! seriously one of the best concerts i have ever been to!
One of the best! One of the best! One of the best!
Although Brian's voice was a bit hampered by a cold, all of the singers in the Brian Wilson Band were great. The show was what I expected, and enjoyed. I missed getting a chance to communicate with Brian, Al, and Blondie, who I have known and befriended for nearly 5 decades. As a music artist myself, Brian Wilson inspired me and I was able to learn much from his style, and presentation of each song. He is my friend and mentor, and I will always be thankful for his musical contributions.
It was all awesome. They sounded almost exactly like their albums and the kept good attention. I got the shit beat out of me in the pit though, which is awesome.
Totally blew Leeds apart with one of the best gigs I’ve ever witnessed and I’ve saw some amazing rock bands in my time including the Cream at the RAH in 1968 and Weeley in 1971.
Went to this concert on a whim - heard about it on the radio (WBCN), and drove up and bought tickets at the window. $7 if I remember correctly Sat in the middle of the theatre, and didn't really know much of what to expect beyond "Whip It".
Gotta admit it - I left a spud head. To this day, I've seen hundreds of concerts, and this is in the top-5 all-time, perhaps top-3. What an incredible hi-energy, fun show they put on.
I'm still to this day trying to find a ticket stub and/or poster for this show.
I believe it was the animal magnetism tour or Lovedrive I can’t remember but the scorpions played for about 55 minutes and they blew the roof off the cow palace Daly city California! Ted Nugent was the headliner and did his thing it was good but the scorpions were new and fresh and stole the show in my opinion
I am a huge John Denver fan! I was stationed at Clark Air Base and heard that John Denver was having a concert in Manila I got a ticket! Best concert ever! He was very personable. He started singing a song and then stopped and laughed and said he had forgotten part of it and then restarted singing the song. I still miss him.
The greatest concert I ever had the privilege of witnessing. Before walking through the doors that night I didn't know who Jeff Buckley was, and by the end of the night I had seen something very special. It felt like a spiritual pilgrimage for the main act as he played in the city of Van Morrison. Glen Hansard was the support and sang that he needed a revelation. For me the concert was definitely a revelation. Jeff played his guitar like the bells on Astral Weeks. It was the first time I heard the song Hallelujah and while it was written by Leonard Cohen, for me it will always belong to Jeff. I thank God for being there that night.
A friend at college (The London College of Printing, Elephant and Castle) talked me into going with him to see this new reggae band at The Greyhound. I think he was nervous about going there on his own because at the time The Wailers only appealed to the West Indian community in London, and he was very white. We turned up there and sure enough we were just about the only white faces in the crowd. We were up on the balcony above the stage and very visible.
The original Wailers were all there, and Marley shared the limelight and alternated lead vocals with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingstone. The sound was fat and crisp and the audience was absolutely in the Wailers' pockets. When they began Get up, Stand up, all the audience got up, stood up and stood up for their rights. I was someone a bit nervous about venturing into Brixton, and here I was surrounded by a almost totally black audience standing up for their rights, yet I didn't feel threatened at all. They played most of Catch a Fire which they were promoting -- I particularly remember Slave Driver, Catch a Fire, Concrete Jungle, Stop that Train, Kinky Reggae and Stir it up.
After the concert we headed, blown away by the concert, for Hammersmith to get the tube home. On the other side of the Street, Bob Marley, carrying his guitar and wearing his trademark lumberjack shirt, was walking fast in the same direction. We shouted our compliments across the street and Marley looked at us, smiled and shouted back "Thanks, mon!" before disappearing down a sidestreet.
The show it self was great, so was the music. But meeting him in person... he was kinda mean. Gets really mad when you ask him questions about the reasoning for his songs.
I was at this concert with my parents when I was just six weeks old. Unfortunately I have no memories. But my parents talk still often from this concert.
The Small Faces played before perhaps 200 people at the Starlite Ballroom. This was before "Itchycoo Park." The curtain went up and girls in attendance screamed. What I remember is Steve Mariott singing "All or Nothing." His face was red from the effort. This was a decent show. I was there with a friend after we missed out on the group when the plug was pulled 30 seconds into their set at the 7th National Jazz and Blues Festival . The group insisted on using its own sound system, which needed to be set up. There was a curfew in Windsor. The show ended after the group launched into a cover of "Day Tripper." I could hear Marriott singing after his microphone was shut off. None of the instruments were playing because there was no electricity. Proof of the power of Marriott's voice
I remember like it was yesterday---stopped at A&W for chili-dog and my boyfriend says 'Van Halen is at Masonic tonight---lets go!' And off we went to one of the several and most enjoyable Van Halen concerts I have ever seen. (Been to 7 total). David Lee was such an acrobat!!!! Such great memories!!!!
I was there! It was incredible! It was my first metal concert and I just turned 18. I was in the back grandstand section, until Pantera came out, then I lept 15 feet down into the mosh pit, made it to the front barrier wall, dime gave me a beer, still have the cup, then I caught a pick after he played cemetery gates at the end of the show, still got it! Best time of my life, but I can't find any footage of the show????????????
A perfect summer night. Sitting on blankets in the infield of the race track Crystal clear sound , no echoes and reverb of steel and concrete arena benues
This was a great road trip with a few buddies from LA. Tech...
I was really only there for The Allman Brothers but I found myself enjoying Wet Willie, Charlie Daniels and Marshall Tucker much more in a live setting than on a studio recording... A couple of my friends slept through the Brothers since we'd been there all day and it must've been nearly midnight when the came on stage. I particularly enjoyed the instrumental "High Falls".
Amazing Amazing
