This is such a stark contrast to when you first saw them! What happened at the show? Did they take a nap on stage?

I'm not good with keeping a list of the shows I go to . To do so will be my resolution.

Here is what I remember off the top of my head...

The Roots
Bilal
Bosnian Rainbows
Best Coast
Orgy
Joy Formidable
Rancid
Joan Jett
Mediæval Bæbes
The Tontons
AFI
Steve Aoki
Alice Smith

Hiatus Kayote
Common
Estelle

My Bloody Valentine (which led to a prolonged case of 'my bleeding eardrums'!)

Stone Roses (great gig, shame about hateful, pissed up belligerent arseholes in the crowd)

Black Sabbath (another great gig, shame about the bored, comatose arseholes in the crowd!)

Nile Rodgers (good times from start to finish, and no arseholes in the crowd. A joyous occasion)

Smashing Pumpkins

Atoms For Peace

London Belmont Ensemble

Moving Pictures (Scotland's premier Rush tribute band!)

2013 for me was:

Mariah Carey (absolutley terrible)

The Jacksons (actually really entertaining!)

Cyndi Lauper (great!)

Cyndi Lauper (even better second show!)

Salt N Peppa (awesome 90s block party)

I live in Australia so yeah kinda not many artists play here unless its P!nk, then you can head out every second weekend and catch her live here....

I can only recall 2... I swear there is 3... I will have to go thru my tickets.. Anyway...


Billy Idol

Yeah. They just showed a concert of her recent tour on TV. It was kinda great... if you're into circus and acrobatics. Then I checked out her touring schedule. I know that she played for about half a year in Australia a couple of years ago and also on this tour she played a shitload of shows in Australia.... 25 shows at Rod Laver arena alone. What is up with that?? What is it with Pink and australians?

Kendrick Lamar in Brussels (Really short and rapping to the tracks but great atmosphere)

Bobby Womack in Ghent (His voice sounded great, good setlist, good musicians, too short)

Selah Sue in Leuven (great tracklist, great performance)

Their second album is boring. What happened to all the hooks?
