StanleySaint Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Yep, saw them in the SEC supporting Def Leopard, really enjoyed the night and have a few bits and pieces of their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity, a free gig would have been nice and only 20 minutes away. However tonight I'm hoping for a cracking night as Marti Pellow gives us some great songs backed by a full orchestra.

DumboBud Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Was in Manchester this week to see Pixies, the played Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde back to back. Felt them playing an album took away from the usual energy and flow of the gig, along with the recent change of base player meant that while it was still good it wasn’t as good as previous times I’ve seen them. The venue was the Albert Hall in Manchester a first time there for me, good intimate venue with stunning architecture and good sound, downside the toilets are in the basement and the venue is on the second floor.

DumboBud Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Tickets now bought for Nick Cave at the hydro in November, second half of the year shaping up nicely with Elvis Costello, Pixies (again) and Arab Strap also booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the acoustics/sound at the Hydro wasn't the best, what's your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, in terms of gigs I’ve only seen, Chuches, Placebo and the Martyn Bennett Grit Orchestra there and felt that the sound bounced about a bit so there was almost an echo effect. In general I will avoid gigs at the hydro but Elvis Costello was a gift and love the intensity of a Nick Cave gig but the English dates didn’t work for me.

That was exactly what I said to Mrs Faraway at the Marti Pellow gig. Both he and his support act were overly echoey at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
