I saw Focus in Leiden last night - playing on a barge in a canal. I can only describe the whole thing as being slightly odd yet fun.

I went to see The Letdowns last night, supporting The Black Lips, who weren’t nearly so good and had scary moustaches. Letdowns were ace though… I imagine they will be even better when they remember to all play the same song at the same time.

@dan: I saw NIN in march and in august on the pukkelpop festival. Saw the screens… amazing. I espescially loved the “only” visuals. It really looked like a snow-television with his head popping in and out.
On an other note, mr Reznor is not that pleased with european promotors (look on youtube for this, it’s quite funny how he throws a tantrum about the promotors) of festivals. Hopefuly he doesn’t feel the same about european concert promotors…

Iggy&Stooges last night in Hellsinki at the “Old Icehall”.
GREAT gig. There were only about 2500 people there but it didn´t spoil the event at all.
Highlight for me was getting up on stage during Real Cool time and No fun. There was about 15 of us “dancin” and “singin” with Igster up there. I will remember this for the rest of my life for sure:) No pics/clips taken this time as it wasn´t allowed to bring the camera inside. Hope there will pop up something on Youtube someday:)
But anyway, new songs rocked too!

Last gig I went to, as I have said, was Prince.
Now the reason I bring it up is cos last night he was joined on stage by Elton John for a rendition of The Long and Winding Road.
I just wanted to say: Thank f**k i missed that shitefest! :D

There’s two for me actually - this afternoon I saw Focus at the Symforce festival in 013, Tilburg. Then on to Rotterdam to see the first show of Símon in Little Cave, Rotterdam. Had a lot of fun in Tilburg (loads of old farts coming to see bands that play music for old farts, and a good excuse to wear my psychedelic Yes tie dye shirt) and once in Rotterdam it was great seeing Donnie (aka Lombok) again (this time on guitar as opposed to DJ).
The night ended with me having a headache, which coincidentally was not caused by loud music or excessive drinking. Luckily the throbbing dull pain is gone, so I’ll crawl into bed asap and catch some sleep.
(Note: I mean old fart in an affectionate way, not in a brains-gone-to-mush, blocking-the-path-in-the-supermarket sort of way.)

I went yesterday to Nightwish’s record release-party at Tavastia, there was supposed to play an estonian Nightwish-cover band called “Natuvissyset” but it turned out they were the real Nightwish! (Ok, I knew that before ;o)) They played an kick ass gig. Their new material, which they played plenty, sounds great and the new lady sings like an engel even though she’s not sounding like Tarja (which I think is only a good thing). It was great to see so many smiling faces in the crowd as well in the stage. If you are in Hamburg area tomorrow, go see a band called “Sushi Patrol” in Delphi Club. You will be surprised… ;o)

The Misfits in Manchester…
Its the only gig I have ever been to where I’ve walked out. We only stayed for about 15 mins of the band - they were fuckin shite.
All the songs were speeded up to the point where you couldn’t tell what the fuck was actually supposed to be being played (I think they played the whole of Attitude in under 40 secs). I can only Imagine that they have done this cause Jerry Only cant sing for shit.
The only way I knew they were playing Hybrid Moments is because they introduced it…
Talk about pissing on your legacy

Went to see The Police 2 following nights this wd at le “Stade de France”.IMHO,the second gig was better than the first one.Contrary to some posts here that feared that they might have reworked some songs in a jazzy way,it wasn’t the case,On the whole,the songs were played well but in a very very low way…For example,their playing of “Truth hits Everybody” lacked of the punch,the energy,you could feel if you listen to this song on the album…Or was it just because these gigs had taken place in a big stadium that made me feel that?Anyway,the Rockier moment was for ,”Next to you”,the final song of the set,when they invited Henry Padovani on stage ,Historically the first guitar player of Police,to play on it.

Tonight I saw The Letdowns, who rocked; Derby’s finest (present company excepted, Neil :)) Fixit Kid; The Blacklisters - very heavy, would have been cooler if the singer’s pants weren’t on display & Kill Manticore who broke everyone. Highlights include Lucy’s vocal for Land Before Time (a tragic recount of the day she bought a certain brand of dinosaur-related activity pack) and Asteroid which is just classic.

Sondura last night - local band - chummy with kotow back in the day - they were great. Next up were Last Stop CHinatown who werent. We left during their set so we didnt get to hear I-Def-I, but they were probably as generic as the backing music you always get at metal gigs :cool:

It’s a bit of a blur and if you ever played me a track by them i wouldn’t reconise it. I was just jumping around and trying to not spill my pint… i know there is a song which goes “wooooo…yeahhh…aahhhhh” but that’s about it?
