  • A guest 60% for Dixie Chicks · Fri, 29 Apr 2016

    Disappointed to start with. Extremely loud, main mike and drums were overpowering. First few tracks couldn't make out the music at all. Heard tracks better when the band all sat down. 50-50. Had no idea who the warm act were, they werent't introduced.

  • A guest 100% for Dixie Chicks · Fri, 29 Apr 2016

    Well - what can I say...... Never in my life has the attendance at a concert had me in tears. I mean - they were just free-flowing down my cheeks - uncontrollably. And hey - I'm not even embarrassed wink emoticon. I would liken it to the kind of experience people have when they believe they have had some kind of awestruck angelic / spiritual awakening - you know, a vision that's just stopped your heart beating and you're moving towards the light..... To my friends who I know will be attending in Glasgow next week..... F*CK ME - like over 2hrs of banger after banger!!!!!!!! Remember to take your AIR Slide / Ukulele / Fiddle / Banjo / Acoustic / Electric - F*CK IT - take it all - you're gonna need them in-between all that toe-tapping, thigh-slapping, rock -chickin AWESOMENESS!!!!! Couple of cheeky new ones in there too - BRILLIANT! Our Girls also gleefully take the piss outta both Trump and Clinton - HILARIOUS!!!
    The Chicks did us proud - it's been worth the wait. We all still knew the songs word for worth - It was BIBLICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    If you don't know who these goddesses are - do yourself a favour - take a trip onto YouTube and see what real talent actually looks and sounds like. No - there's no any dance routines, backing tracks, or backing singers doing the real work - just real honest music!
    And this is all I got - I didn't spent my night taking pictures - I just y'know - LIVED IT!!!!

  • A guest 80% for Status Quo · Sat, 05 Dec 2015

    As always a fantastic performance from Quo. Set list as expected with a few changes in, Burning Bridges in the main set instead of encore with Paper Plane in the encore. It rocked and Quo still know how to put on a good show.

  • CharlLiam20 was there 100% for One Direction · Mon, 12 Oct 2015

    I am a huge 1D fan, and have been to their concerts before, but I've never laughed so hard in my life. Louis and Liam were so hilarious during their water I am a huge 1D fan, and have been to their concerts before, but I've never laughed so hard in my life. Louis and Liam were so hilarious during their water fight. They had my in tears by the end. All the boys put up a top performance and interacted with the crowd tons. Vocals were OUTSTANDING, and in general I couldn't fault the night at all. I just wish it wasn't over.

  • A guest 100% for Bette Midler · Thu, 09 Jul 2015

    What an amazing night BETTE and her band were amazing. I was seeing my idol so I felt very emotional. Happened to be staying in the same hotel as BETTE and all her crew and actually bumped into BETTE when she came back from rehearsal the night before, she was very courteous even laughed at me when I went into a total meltdown with my hands over my mouth. We had a brief conversation about the show and exchanged a hug and a kiss I then just cried for an hour lol. Anyway I thought the show was fantastic, yes they were a little late on but come on, what band is ever on time. Just remember, this amazingly talented and fabulous artist is 69 years old, she was hilarious, my sister was crying with laughter at her Sophie Tucker jokes. On returning to the hotel we met the dancers and some of the musicians who were happy to have piccies taken and we chatted for ages. Such a wonderful bunch of people. But the only thing that spoiled it was the tour manager calling me a stalker. He just needs to remember who pays his wages and if it wasn't for us fans che wouldn't have a job
