Gigs

[trev]

Wednesday coming me, Mrs Trev and the boy child are off to see Placebo. I just booked tickets to see me old mate Ginger Wildheart in May.
Have you got any gigs booked?

I think I heard on the radio the other day that Placebo had been around for 25 years or something?
They were certainly in the charts when I was a teenager (90s). Must be getting on a bit now.

I won one of their singles (a cover of 20th century boy) in a radio competition once. I've still got it somewhere.

They got together in 1994 mate. First single, Bruise Pristine, released in 1995.

Not been to a gig in ages, but Placebo would be a good un. Must get out more

Would love to see UB40, however they are two bands now and I have no idea where or when they will tour again.

If you watch it full screen and put your face close to the monitor you could almost be there

Saw them in Brum in the mid 90s. I only went because Robert Palmer was supporting, he was far better than they were imo.
2 hours of the same rhythm over and over and over again. I lost the will to live at one point
Different strokes for different folks though.

Got to say I'm not a fan of the later pop era of UB40 at all, but stuff like this is sublime

[trev]

You want sublime? The harmonies in this are just that. Don and Phil, probably past their best at this point but.......

Can't argue with that Trev...... makes me wanna listen to Neil Young for some reason.

 

[trev]

Never need an excuse to listen to Neil Young mate
