Anthrax at Brixton next weekend with lifelong friends. We first saw them together in the 80s along with countlesss other metal bands who are mostly still chugging along.
A more mature visit to the Palladium with my wife for Tedeschi Trucks Band a few weeks after that. That will be a stayover. The late drive back to the south coast is to be avoided these days.
The Delines playing in Kent. No one plays live in Kent!
31st Oct at the Ramsgate Music Hall - it says hall but front room or kiosk would be more appropriate just room for the band and a couple of people pressed up against the wall - but boy do they attract the stars. voted NME best small venue.
Saw Daniel Lanois there - Daniel Lanois in Kent! Said he had to ring Brian Eno up and ask where Ramsgate was!
Reminds me…got tickets for The Delines in November at Ally Pally…must check the date, I’d almost forgotten it was so long ago, so thanks Andy for the jog…
Got a nice list: (1) Steve Vai Dallas House of Blues Oct 8 (2) Tab Benoit The Hall Little Rock Oct 11 (3) Marcus King The Pageant St. Louis October 20 (4) Greta Van Fleet Simmons Bank Arena Little Rock Nov 2 (5) Awolnation Roseland Theater Portland November 16, (6) Five Finger Death Punch with Brantley Gilbert Simmons Bank Arena Nov 26. The out of town stuff just happens to coincide with business trips. I have always said “the old bad concerts are the ones you don’t go to when you have the chance”.
