Nizzy Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 The Stone Roses tomorrow. Last ever live show apparently! What's the genesis of that rumour? I've seen it mentioned a few times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Do you need a uniform to get into a Stone Roses gig? Green few years back absolutely every fucker going was wearing a bucket hat. Today all the young males have shorts, adidas retro trainers and adidas t shirts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Primal Scream were worth the £35 I paid for Hampden. But this crowd...f*cking horrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 They should never have come back. Neds everywhere suddenly pretending they were into them back in the day. f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 The sound was utter pish for the first 2 or 3 songs where I was seated, the worst I've ever heard at a concert ever. They seemed to get their act together after that and turned the volume up. Ian Brown though. What a guy. Just as well he's got such a good band to back him up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 His dad dancing was excruciating. I've avoided seeing them up until last night out of fear of disappointent. I really wish I hadn't bothered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stuff I've seen on twitter and that tbh. Apparently Reni doesn't speak to Ian Brown or mani. But aye, of the three times I've seen them in the past year that was probably their weakest performance imo. Just seemed to be going through the motions. Edit: Also the queue to get in, what a fucking shambles that was Edited June 25, 2017 by Staggie_93 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Brees Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Can't believe they're doing stadium gigs 28yrs after their 1 good album. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Mastodon tickets purchased for December. And it's at the Barrowlands too. Pleasing. I'm a Mastodon fan since March of the Fire Ants appeared on a Relapse sampler long enough ago. Somehow managed to miss them every time since then, so I'm well up for that.Also, Opeth and Enslaved in November. Take my money, dammit!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Probably the worst combination of factors affecting the enjoyment of a gig is to have it outdoors in Scotland on a cold windy night in June. Crap sound, crap view, broad daylight throughout. You've got to put on a blistering performance to make that a good night for the punters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to see R.E.M. many years ago in murrayfield and swore I'd never go to another one of those type of gigs again, and I've managed to stick with it, til next Tuesday when I'm taking my daughter to Green Day. Hopefully they put in s show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However when you go to see the Roses you go for the atmosphere but I'd ended up with a seating ticket which was atrocious. Felt like watching a good house party through a set of patio doors. It was so bad I decided I didn't care if I got thrown out and ran past the stewards and got into standing but I was the only person I seen manage it. I was sitting right next to the stairs to get into the standing area. At the start of Primal Scream, the stewards were quick to make sure that anyone sneaking into the standing section were quickly moved back into seating. However by twenty to nine, a couple of the stewards near to me, gave up and almost any person who crawled under the sheet dividing the standing stairs and those seating, were allowed into the standing section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chef Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I was at that REM gig too, left before the end as it was so bad. Seen the Rolling Stones and AC/DC twice at Hampden which have all been brilliant though so maybe more to do with the type of band than the venue. As for last night, i was on the pitch and enjoyed it as much for the atmosphere as the music. Never particularly liked Brown as a singer but the rest of the band are outstanding musicians IMO. Thoroughly enjoyed it overall, great night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking setlist too... http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/rem/1995/murrayfield-stadium-edinburgh-scotland-13d691d1.html I got a ticket as compensation for the SECC shows the previous year being cancelled, but couldn't go as I was working abroad. Didn't get to see them til Stirling Castle 4 years later. Which was a decent outdoor gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chef Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Seen the stones at hampden and they were all right but Murrayfield was far far better. I was talking about the 1990 Stones gig at Hampden. Haven't seen them since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was south stand same side as main stand. I only seen 4 folk actually go for it and everyone got thrown out. I was in the West Stand and at the side closer to the North Stand. I was two seats away from the sheet dividing those standing and those seating. I only seen about ten to fifteen people attempt it at the start of Primal Scream. But a lot more people attempted it by the time Primal Scream started to play Rocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reni played all over the top of Mani and Squire last night - I found it really irritating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
