Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

well, i tried to avoid news about the Metallica show last night, i haven't seen the setlist yet which is good.
i wasn't however able to stop myself from watching a video of 'One'.
Tell you what, it looked amazing, i'm really really pumped for this now. Just have to get through VCE first

So are you going to Metallica tonight? I am, can't wait!!

(Have also avoided all reports of the show - want to be suprised!!)

EDIT: Sorry, just realised you must be going in November.... I won't spoil it for you!!

I bought tickets to The Smashing Pumpkins (15/10 Festival Hall) and Ed Kowalczyk (05/11 The Forum) yesterday.

Looking forward to both.

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Well I've got a few coming up.

Going to see Birds of Tokyo on October 1st, but am actually going to see the support act "Silversun Pickups", who don't have a bad song to date.

Then October 15th will be the Smashing Pumpkins.

Then December 1st is U2.

Then December 14th and 15th Muse.

All should be really good, and better be considering the cost.

Well that's at least 3 Woofers going to see the biggest band in the world, did you go for GA or a seat?

General admission. I'm fit enough to push my way to a decent spot, it's cheaper and last time I had seats. My parents have spent the extra 75 dollars for seats that sound to me the equivalent of an average spot in GA.

Make sure you check out the support act for Muse - "Dead Letter Circus".
They rock.

Metallica were awesome last night!! Best concert I've been to in quite awhile. Fantastic stage set up 'in the round' so everyone could see. Great setlist (varied quite a lot from Wednesday nights) Even got high fives from some of the band.

One of the best I've been to Andrew!! I found set lists from both nights on the internet, they only played 7 songs the same both nights, the other 11 were different. Would have been great to have gone to both gigs. Wish I'd taken our little camera, could've taken some great photos. They really seemed to enjoy the night, stayed on stage for ages after they'd finished throwing out guitar picks and drum sticks.

Having listened to a handful of their songs now, I agree.

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Went to the Birds of Tokyo concert tonight/last night to see the Silversun Pickups.

They were amazing. Sound better live, such a distinctive style and voice and good to watch. Only played 8 songs as the support act but really had the crowd going. The mosh for "Panic Switch" was the equal of any of the Birds of Tokyo's songs, and even "Lazy Eye" got a bit of jumping action. Very impressed and pissed off that I missed their concert at the Corner Hotel on Tuesday (sold out in minutes, I reckon they could play the Palace comfortably).

As for Birds of Tokyo, they were good but not great. I don't really know many of their songs but they are a touch slow for a mosh and don't really have enough going on for someone like me who can't sing along. Even their better songs weren't as good as I was anticipating.

Re: Recent Gigs & Upcoming ones

Got Sarah Blasko on Friday. I haven't seen her live before but my sister (who I'm going with) has, and reckons she was amazing.
Then Muse in December, can't wait! I decided this year to see more live gigs, so I've been to Laura Marling, Florence + the Machine and Powderfinger (+ the two to come). Missed out Metallica tickets though, and then missed COG due to a relative's birthday, spewing!

We got tickets last week through www.preferredseating.com.au

Saw them in September & it was so good we wanted to go again. Standing room on the floor for Sunday 21st November. Roughly $190 per ticket. A little more expensive than usual, but much cheaper than some other sites ($400 per ticket ) or ebay which is full of scalpers.
