Non NMA gigs you just got home from or are going to

[Knievel]

Its wierd for me to see some of the bands mentioned here that I wouldn't have expected an NMA forum to have any liking for:
Rush, Fish, even Yes got some praises in these pages...
I just got back from seeing Roger Waters doing The Wall in London, last week I saw Leonard Cohen in Brum and previously I mentioned already seeing and really liking The Dublin Legends formerly The Dubliners in, again, Birmingham - and i don't want to talk about The Dubliners, Roger Waters or Leonard Cohen in their respective forums - don't know why but I have some big liking for this forum, the NMA forum, and when I get home I just want to talk about my time out HERE!
so can I just start a thread of other gigs you've been to recently...

[DannySan]

I saw Rush three times earlier this year in Manchester, Sheffield & Birmingham

I am seeing:

Stereophonics on 14th November
NMA 16th November
Chameleons Vox 21st December

..and the comedian Stewart Lee on 5th October. 

[Master Ray]

I'm a huge lover of live music, usually see at least one band per month, but due to my current unemployment status, I've had to knock it on the head a bit...

I will be seeing NMA at the Manchester Ritz, also Paradise Lost / Lacuna Coil at the same venue, both in November...

Last gig I saw?  The Who at Manchester Arena... bloody great.

[Berko_kev]

Got the Damned in December with Theatre of Hate and Ruts DC,  wonder stuff, PWEI and Jesus jones also in December, inner terrestrials in November, ferocious dog in October, probably going to Imperial Leisure / King Prawn London date in November and the Something in the Dean festival in September and Dogfest in December as well. Mixed in with 7 NMA gigs before the end of the year (including the Levellers support slot in koln )  it will be a busy but brilliant few weeks.

Not much coming up apart from NMA. Boomtown Rats ( 3 gigs ), 999 with The Defects, and, thanks to recommendations from a few NMA Family members, Ludovico Einaudi. 'Cos I'm cultured ;-)

[moontan]

Saw Rush earlier in the year too 
Saw Ruts DC last Friday: really enjoyable.
Going to see Finntroll in October and Amon Amarth in November.

[Dipple]

I am going to see Stiff Little Fingers for the 1st time  at King Georges Hall Blackburn on the Sunday before I go to see NMA at the Ritz Manchester on the Saturday.

Went to Dreadzone at Scala on Thursday night. Almost danced my feet right off, which made for a painful Friday. 

But seriously, they were brilliant, as they always are.

[Ron B]

 Oct 13  Hawkwind in NYC at Grammercy Park Been waiting over 20 years to finally see this band.

[Knievel]

Ron B - PLEASE give us a report on the Hawk gig - I'm still half impressed with the stuff they come out with - Blood/ Onward, they're pretty good records - I know they're playing Warrior on this tour - A Lemmy driven beast of an LP and they're playing it with Dibsy on bass???
Please; tell me they were good - man - I hope you enjoy the night.
Lostock - what a list! You gonna get to the Damned gig in Manc? Hope it's a good un.
Steph - is that Rat and BRIAN James? Should be good
Moontan (great name - did you get it from that great Golden Earing record?) and Danny - well - I was a huge Rush fan when I was a kid - For me they lost the plot a bit around Power Windows for at least 25 years!!!! but they've got it together again - ah I shouldn't say that really - I'm sure they were always a great live band but good grief those records from the nineties - they were awful huh?  Still - fantastic band - Alex Lifeson is the only lead guitar player that makes me stop what I'm doing when he solo's - his solo's are as abstract as Captain Beefheart's mind.
Probably my favourite guitar player. Did you see his rock and roll hall of fame speech?  Totally Alex!

Anyway - it was good to see some response from this, thanks for that folks - I'll be tripping out to Salford tomorrow to see some kind of techno classical variation on Joy Division stuff - I shall let you know if it was worth the train fare.

[Wessexy Witch]

I saw Mainliner on The Thekla on Friday night.

There's been another Chameleons Vox gig announced for the 22nd of November at Eric's in Liverpool which of course I would like to attend but that would be 3 nights out on the trot!! The dilemma is if I go it could bring forward my potentially messy divorce
