What band did you see last night? (1 Viewer)

Also its a fuck you to Gilmour.

yeah, I reckoned there was a bit of that too. Though I still think its more about the money.

I always thought the root of the trouble in Pink Floyd was more between Waters and Wright, though I know Gilmour was at the coal face too.

I thought they'd at least partially kissed and made up over the Live 8 thing.

Thats why I think its about the money. I reckoned Waters needed to bolster his bank a/c by a few hundred million or so.

 

[rettucs]

did he play anything off pros and cons of hitch-hiking? or that new "hello, i love you" song? I was thinking of going but decided against paying that much money for what would most likely be a not great gig. i heard there was an amazing laser thing at the end.

no, he played 2 solo tunes. One was 'Perfect Sense', the other a new song called 'Leaving Beirut', which was an anti-Bush/Blair song (good too I thought).

There were flying pigs, spacemen and there was a hell of a laser and pyrotechnics show. I'll give him that much.

And they had bubbles and Flaming Lips confetti. It was a good show, just not a great gig.

What did you make of that WP tour there the year before last?

It was pretty good. The Village was a crappy place to see them though. Worse than their gigs there in 1995 and 1996. Their most recent performance here - in TMBC last year - I preferred that to the 2005 one.

comets on fire last night. great show but for me not as good as the show in dublin last year. they played one new tune which had a certain sort of kraut rockishness about it while still remaining very comets on fire. one really cool thing though was that chris corsano (that's the back of his head in the first pic) was there and played a rocking version of 'school of the flower' with ben chasney.

Grizzly Bear. I really enjoyed even without knowing any of the music beforehand. I liked everything doused in echo and everyone singing in harmony in a non -half-assed but in fact totally assed way. And they covered the Crystals, which I loved.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

i went to the boom boom room last night and saw thingumajigsaw, alpine those myriads? and richer than astronauts. it was an excellent night, all the bands i saw were great but i missed karl him. alpine those myriads? was the highlight - a daft combination of har mar superstar, peter hammill, bjork, justin hawkins, frock, kitchen sink.... with deadly tunes.
