Great news mate, glad you enjoyed it.

Seeing them Monday. What was the mix of Yield and beforehand versus stuff after Yield? Don't reckon I've heard a tune they've made in twenty years!

Great band.

Eddie needs to stop talking though.

And once Jonathan Brown was on stage I knew they become too big for my taste buds.
Whispers MMM

Do the evolution still their best tune.

Did you see the pixies chef?

No it's NOT. Stop saying it is!

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Went and saw Ian Ball and Bet Ottewell (Gomez) the other night. Damn good show.

Gomez are always awesome, but this was mostly stripped back with the two of them and there were some great tweaks. The show was a Bring It On/Liquid Skin anniversary focus.

As an aside, the support act Buddy (from Portland, Oregon) was also very good. The three of them have actually started a little side project and have an album only available on CD.

It was great live. Helter Skelter stood out in the P Mac set and I personally think Do the Evolution was the best song live.

It doesn't feel all warm and fuzzy like a lot of their tracks with those 7th chords.

I mean it didn't get the 40 something mums going like better man though!

We missed Pixies as we were getting dinner, but I've seen them a few times already.

I love Do the evolution too and my my wife asked which song I wanted to see and I said that one, didn't disappoint.

Alive was my highlight though.

EV did have the rambling old man vibes going a bit. But we forget how old we are haha

Ah nice. Alive was great. Yeah missed Pixies too unfortunately.
Enjoy Monday Jee. They're the full blown arena rock band now and handle it well.
We had nose bleeds and the sound around Marvel was still great.

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

I was rear GA. Going again tomorrow in front GA. I will never have seats in a stadium.

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

I got offered a free ticket to see The Amity Affliction supported by Ice Nine Kills. Not my usual style that?s for sure, but I ended up enjoying myself. The energy from the crowd at a metal concert is pretty cool.

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Soooo.....I'm not going to say it was the best of the night, but Do the Evolution was bloody good. I think because it also comes with an amazing concept based film clip that translates to stadium visuals it really stands out. My mate and I talked about how ahead of its time the clip actually was for 1998.*

Had always had something else on when PJ played here, or just not appreciated how much I love the music from that part of my life so didn't prioritise seeing them. **** they were good for a bunch of oldies. As frightful as Ed looks, his voice is still magnificent and the rest of the band doesn't phone it in at all.

Unfortunately we didn't get Jono Brown tonight. However, we did get Hunters and Collectors Throw Your Arms Around Me in the encore, plus Rearview Mirror, Black and Daughter which apparently weren't played Saturday. Missing out on Elderly and Corduroy was a bit disappointing, would have killed to hear Immortality.

Sound was a bit washy, if I'm honest. The percussion wasn't strong enough which meant the strings were a bit too much with the vocals, but.....it was a stadium gig and they did it well all up.

Hope everyone else who went enjoyed it as much as I did. Mates I attended with who had seen PJ many times thought it was a really good effort. I guess one of the benefits of bands not making much out of records these days is they have to really nail their live shows.

*If I had to nominate the best of the evening it was probably Even Flow. Massive sleeper of a tune. Hearing Black into Rearview mirror was special too, the former being especially technical in that setting was good to see pulled off reasonably well.

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Nice Jee.

If you want to watch something interesting (I watch as play guitar) shredding with shifty is great.

Is Chris Shiflet from Foo Fighters and he talks to different guitarists on his show.

Mike Mcreedy breaks down some of their Ten stuff from memory.

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Folk Rhythm and Life in December. Taking my daughter so things will be fairly low key

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Please tell me I wasn't the only one who saw Air tonight.

Man they were amazing. Their sound was awesome for the Opera House, it translated perfectly to the hill at the Bowl. Next level good.
