Such an awesome performance, lead singer high as **** but the entire band playing the shit out of it, miss going to concerts like these when bands were real.
So good. Love a nice gig. Seeing Viagra Boys in a few weeks. Full Jazz festival lineup should drop soon, seen Herbie Hancock dunno, three or four times already, he's unreal. Sounds like his current tour is headhunters-era. St Vincent announced a tour, she's amazing too. Lots of stuff to see!!!What are concerts like now?
I just meant the song writing was better and less technology, its not the same. Im sure there are some good live performers out there still but you dont get this sort of energy from a band and crowd anymore. I saw Muse a few years ago, they were alright but this is a different level.Genuine question, since it’s a while since I’ve gone to hear any bands live.
What are concerts like now and what do you mean when you say they don’t sound real?

I’m really pleased with myself because I watched your vid and I know the song well. I usually assume I’m a long way out of it and don’t even open the vid.I just meant the song writing was better and less technology, its not the same.

They are a bit before me but always thought it was a great song, the lady singing the back ups has an amazing voice.I’m really pleased with myself because I watched your vid and I know the song well. I usually assume I’m a long way out of it and don’t even open the vid.
Shame I didn’t see Deacon Blue live. It looks fun
Yes. That’s why I liked the song. Reminds me a bit of what the B52s were going for - they will be even further before your time, and their early stuff was a bit before mineThey are a bit before me but always thought it was a great song, the lady singing the back ups has an amazing voice.
70s is my favourite era of music. As far as pop music goes most of the stuff post millennium is too over-produced for my tastes.Have found myself getting into a lot of bands before my time of late, convinced that lead singers of 70s and 80s have the best voices of any era. I think with bands later than that you get disappointed somewhat watching them live coz a lot of them dont sound anywhere near as good as the studio version where as back then they sounded amazing live still coz they couldn't use as many tricks with technology. What you heard on the album was pretty much what you got in person.
One of my favourite bands ever.Yes. That’s why I liked the song. Reminds me a bit of what the B52s were going for - they will be even further before your time, and their early stuff was a bit before mine
Mid 80s was when I was a teenager, and you tend to remember the stuff from that time in your life.Have found myself getting into a lot of bands before my time of late, convinced that lead singers of 70s and 80s have the best voices of any era.

When I was a teenager emo music was at its peak, never could get into it. It's a weird mix but I think I was mostly listening to The Doors, REM and Massive Attack at the time.Mid 80s was when I was a teenager, and you tend to remember the stuff from that time in your life.
It was an interesting time for popular music. Some great stuff but it feels like the gap between good and bad was wider than any other time.
I’m also happy that you mentioned Muse because I even know who they are (I really am that out of it) and I agree they have a very studio sound. That probably wouldn’t make such a great show, though I’ve heard that they do cool lights and stuff.
Yeah, they do a good concert, I wasn't like this sucks, but they absolutely sound better on the album. Saw Kasabian before that and they were good too but similar to Muse, just not studio quality.Mid 80s was when I was a teenager, and you tend to remember the stuff from that time in your life.

I still am!When I was a teenager emo music was at its peak, never could get into it. It's a weird mix but I think I was mostly listening to The Doors, REM and Massive Attack at the time.
Yeah, there's something to be said for how the old gatekeepers helped establish a monoculture. A lot more iconic movies, bands etc because of the limitations of the time.I still am!
Mind you, I think the 70s and stuff get a leg-up on contemporary bands because the ones we hear have stood the test of time. Current bands are unfiltered - we get the lot. Most of it will never be heard of again
Ok I'll link it now
