Great show! I'm more of a Camper van Beethoven fan, but have followed Cracker on and off for 20 years. I've never seen the full band before, and they rocked Dingwalls to an enthusiastic crowd, for a Monday night. Plenty of tracks from the new CD, plus some classics. Would have loved to hear Beautiful from the new album, but never mind. David was his usual witty self, hope they come back soon.
For those who don't know him, you should make your opinion by seeing him on stage. He lives and gives like no one does. You'll surely reach a moment of freedom and total happiness, that will make you go and go again :)
Sadly there was only a small crowd but Neon played a great set and I will defo be catching them again when they're in the area. Really nice guys to chat to afterwards as well. These are one to watch for the future. Circles provided a great support as well. Site won't let me register so can't post photos. Fixit plz MCL
Completely blown away from this concert, from Chris Staple's catchy songs to Manchester Orchestra's amazing performance. Definitely glad I bought tickets and went. I would probably go everyday if I could.
Absolutely amazing show. I took my boyfriend because they are his favorite, I enjoy them as well, but I was blow away at how great it was.
Perfect set. Great song selection. Amazing crowd control, reaction, and atmosphere. Best LC! Gig to date. These guys deserve all the praise they can get. How this is just their part-time job is beyond me.
Despite only a few visited the concert it was a great evening of Alex Carpani Band and Van Der Graaf songs they presented. Not to forget the joking David Jackson. Thank you for the event, guys!!
Truly awesome gig - you went down a storm - looking forwards to the Railway Shed , Lincoln in May 2015. Enjoyed the new material. Fantastic atmosphere. Well worth queuing from 5.00pm for. Sadly some of the larger video screens did not allow everybody to fully appreciate the additional material being displayed - quite blurry and lyrics and text hard to read - didn't seem to be a problem on the smaller screens though. My only disappointment was would have loved another hour.
What a phenomenal show! Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue absolutely KILLED it. Such a great performance and wonderful evening. Very impressed with the bands talents & vibe once again! They never disappoint. ~Sharron Mc
I got to say, best f@#&g show ever, I never got the chance to see death with the great Chuck, but, I think this it is the best and closest thing to see death right, great show, great line up, great performance! If they come once a month, I will go every fucking time!
A very intimate atmosphere at The Sage with Jo Hamilton almost floating onto the stage with grace and mystique, then commencing the first number following a half-smile and no introduction. It set the tone for a spell-binding set by Jo and her tight-knit band. Jo had a very 'matter of fact' approach to her performance, while the music was polished, she had us all feeling like she was performing in our front room as she stated that she didn't want to bore us by playing too long.! Never! her voice was pure, hitting those high notes that had me buying the 'Gown' album without a second thought.
Intimate, but elating. Wonderful Jo, come back soon!
Jo Hamilton walked on stage, stood just about stock still for an hour and presented a serene, at times exciting and powerful but always faultless performance of the most beautiful and haunting songs ! It was a privilege to have been there and my only regret is having missed her concert in Durham Cathedral !
Watched them support Halestorm, this Headline concert was impressive, so glad my mate dragged me along, the sound and the energy from the band will I'm sure lead them on to bigger things
Love Pentatonix but this concert was disappointing. Sound and bass were way too loud- it drowns out the beautiful voices. My ears actually hurt when I left. Too bad
Unfortunately the sound for Chas n Dave was really awful. There was too much echo on the drums and that drowned out the other two, however Quo were the best I have seen them (other than the FF Reunions) for many years
Absolutely awesome loved every minute of it...They were The Mighty Quo....keep on rockin guys!!!! ....cant wait to see you again and hoping my wish can come true and get a photo with you guys.....heres wishing x
It would have been incredible if it hadn't taken 3 hours to get him on stage!
The 3 opening acts were amazing especially Jackson Michelson! But on a Sunday night the show should have started at least an hour earlier. I missed half of the singer I wanted to see the most.
It left me disappointed!
Inner Image and Hindsight killed it! First time to see Drowning Pool and they were as awesome as i imagined. Grand Stafford always has great shows. Keep those national acts coming to Bryan/College Station!

Not for RATT but for Saigon Kick who opened up for them and their performance was freaking insane. This was before their first album was even released.
WOW WOW WOW - absolutely amazing concert, loved the venue, support act were fantastic & so great to see local talent up there!
Boyz II Men - what can I say? The BEST concert I've ever been to, loved it from the start to the finish - loved the fact that everyone was still singing on the way out!
It’s 19 years later and I still have the same excitement that I did back then. They were in top form. Jon forgot some lyrics to a song and just made a self mocking bow. It’s was hilarious. The only drawback was an overzealous security guard. He took my brother’s disposable camera and ripped out the film. Funny that he didn’t do the same to a blonde girl who used a flash with her phone camera. Still, it was a concert that will remain in fond memory.
Basketball arena, sorry acoustics, sitting on the gym floor. I remember speakers at the side of the audience first coming alive during The Torture Never Stoos -- female moans running all around the Auditorium. Zappa was my idol, I loved the concert, though it was probably just another stop for him.
I have really enjoyed the concert on December 3rd, lots of fun, great proffessionals! If I may leave a suggestiom is if possible to include a christmas song, i was expecting it. Best of luck JC
This was my first concert at 16 ,the set list included killer queen and seven seas of rye aswell as keep yourself alive! Brilliant gig and great memories
I was 18 years old, born in Hamilton, but moved to Grimsby Ontario with my family years earlier.
Hearing that Uriah Heep was coming to Hamilton, I gathered a group of my friends together and 8 of us went to the concert and we’re not disappointed! They were and are still a awesome sound that I still listen to in my 67th year! Amazing band, like Cactus and Spirit , plus King Crimson to name a few I still love to listen to today. So many memories, so little time????????????????????
Easily the best live gig I have seen. The band led by Strummer, Simonin on bass stormed it even with Topper and Jones on board. I was with a mate near the front of the stage and it was fucking intense. The crowd just wouldn't leave at the end and they came back on for the standard two encores and then two more. The last after all the lights had switched on and fans were starting to vacate. I recall turning around and moving with the crowd toward the exit and then...bang! Off went the lights. Brief pitch blackness. The crowd surged back and Strummer and the band flew back on with one last blast of White Riot. Blew me away.
He was supported by a rock and roll revival band called Whirlwind who were ok. I recall their singer saying at one point 'this was our last single - never f- got anywhere. It's called 'hng loose'. Then on came Matumbi with 'Brother Blackbeard on guitar' as Dennis Bovell was introduced as. The Blockheads were excellent. Full steam ahead. NWR looked like what I can only describe as 'Fagin on Speed'. Dury obviously enjoying it. Came on and offered to throw 'A Solid Gold Rolex Watch (from Camden Market)' into the audience - which he did. Bizarrely he did the same with a bunch of bananas. Of course the final encore was all 3 bands back for SADARAR. And his parting comment to us (and the band) was 'We'll come ere again'! Brilliant.
Enrique Iglesias was fantastic, had the crowd standing and dancing the whole time. He really try to engage the crowd when performing. At the end of his show I was a little dissapointed was hoping for one more song and for Enrique, Ricky and Sebastián to come out and say goodbye to the audience. My first time to see Ricky performing...overall I think he's a great dancer and knows how to entertain. It Was a great concert, really enjoyed it!
All the greatest hits! This band produced them in style. They gave a performance displaying the depth of their song writing, varying the tempo of their songs with great but effective ease, providing a show that engaged with the audience all the way. Not to be missed.
As I recall Head East was mostly booed except when they played "Save my Life". Sammy Hagar had left Montrose by this time but Bob James filled in well and Ronnie Montrose was just fantastic. I mostly remember Robin Trower staring down at his purple boots while the band ripped through all their hits. I was 15 at the time and this was my 3rd concert.
I was there, in front with my girlfriend. Hal Baby's was a converted grocery store with a capacity I'm guessing (standing) of less than 500. It was HOT. There was no cooling in the building, and the place was packed. Probably around 90deg+ inside. Almost dangerous and certainly "claustrophobic."
Opening act (one of them) was a band with Veeder Van Dorn (Moonrakers / The Poor) named "Silver Streak."
I was very familiar with the Yardbirds, and when they took the stage, I immediately noticed that Jeff Beck was NOT there. I was very disappointed that they were only a "power trio" - until they started playing. Jimmy Page was amazing. I was a guitarist, and that was the first time I ever saw a guitarist attack his instrument with a violin bow. Keith Relf was outstanding on vocals and harp. Chris Dreja was solid on bass. He and the drummer held down the bottom / rhythm section very well and sounded very full.
All in all a great show. "Stroll On / Train Kept Rollin'" was outstanding. Glad I saw it, in lieu of what was to come with Led Zeppelin a couple years later.
TEN stars. 8 is not enough.
Absolutely dire. Left after the first 45 minutes when Lydon had talked about I'm a Celebrity virtually non stop. I don't make a habit of leaving gigs early, but this was awful. Others were leaving as well.
I drove from Cincinnati for this show--my best friend and I had just graduated from high school and lied about where we were going that night no doubt! My memory is that the show was phenomenal. Michael Hutchence was such an exciting performer. RIP. I think this was the Listen Like Thieves tour. Now I'm married to an Australian!
I don’t know what gig the above fan/reviewer attended but it was not the 1976 Auckland Town Hall gig. Neither Don “Sugarcane” Harris nor Jimmy Carl Black were part of the band Frank had with him that evening. Original bass player Roy Estrada was there along with drummer extraordinaire Terry Bozio, saxophonist Napoleon Brock Murphy and a keyboardist who’s name has escaped my memory.
But the gig was completely brilliant. One of the very best I’ve ever witnessed.
Great show. Took my mum who had been recently ill, she loved it. She wore her favourite scarf with musical notes on it and being shy she got nervous when Marty started walking around the audience. He was about to go past us as my mum sank into her seat trying to be invisible when he saw her scarf, reached out to touch it saying it was nicer than his ones then back on stage he went. His voice is stunningly beautiful, like caramel.
My mum died unexpectedly on 6/10/2021, three days later I woke up with 'Sea of Love' playing non stop in my mind. Mum was spiritual so I took this as a message to play it at her funeral on Tuesday 2/11/2021, but I am the youngest of three, although the only one who has arranged a funeral before for my late husband. I have been ignored, they won't play one of her favourite songs. They have so far got dates, times, appointments etc., wrong, it's infuriating. This concert is one of my best memories of my mum who I am already missing dreadfully.
Best concert I have ever been to. NOPD was great. I remember before we entered we saw a guy passed out against the wall with a sign between his legs saying. I want L S D .
