2007 Best Gig

[aftershavedave]

Utter utter bollocks. What difference does it make how old the band are, or when they wrote the tracks? I can't believe you have the front to call someone a music snob earlier in this thread then come out with that shite. You're the music snob here.

Seeing a DJ, wherever, is NOT a gig. OOh I can sequence tracks on my laptop. I can use the crossfade facility on this software., I can stand here for two hours and press play then play solitaire for the rest of the time and you'll all worship my greatness, like the sheep you are.

f*** THAT.

spot on.

Definative proof you haven't got a f***ing clue what you're on about, sorry. Actually attempt to *use* some of this software before you make an idiotic statement like that in future, OK?

Go f*** yourself you patronsing arse. What makes you think I haven't used or seen any of this stuff? It is actually as simple as that for a "gig" all the hard work is done beforehand.

Are you being serious? Are you telling us that it counts as a gig because the "DJ" knows how to operate the shuffle (somebody elses music) feature on the software he's using?

Anyway, Muzik went spectacularly out of business if I remember - being interviewed for the editor of a sinking ship isn't something to boast about.

Muzik died because they didn't hire me. Obviously.

It's an interesting point. When is it a 'gig' and when is it a 'disco'? (I know MYOB won't approve of the terms but hopefully he'll understand the references).

PS: I didn't go to ANY gigs in 2007 - apart from watching my 14 year old son's band play. All highbrow classical concerts, ballet and opera for me.

What he said.

I don't think you'd find many people supporting the idea that a bloke banging a few keys on a computer and inserting some CDs into a player is any sort of live music.

I heartily endorse the above sentiment. Good point, well made.

..just worked out I did 25 gigs this year (festivals count as one and only gigs Concorde 2 size and over are counted....seen some lesser known/local bands in bars and things. Oh, no DJs either....that would put it well into the 30s).

A great year for live music.

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

A marvellously diverse list of gigs, but you're all wrong!

The correct answer was Carter USM @ Brixton - A magnificent return and a fond farewell.

Oh, and a DJ-ing set is not a gig!

Joe Bonamassa - anyone else going to see this blues legend at the Hawth in February. Last chance to see him in a smallish venue, I reckon?

 

[queens park pete]

The Tampa Bay Blues Fest - 16 great bands, hot sun, cold beer
Springsteen at the O2
Devon Allman at the Boom Boom
Walter Trout at the Boom Boom

What's the Boom Boom like as a venue? They certainly seem to put together some good shows!

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

Killers at the Brighton Centre

 

[crodonilson]

Seconded

Also enjoyed FBS & David Guetta & (for about the first hour and a half) The Cuban Brothers.

Oh, and The Mighty Diamonds at Komedia were ancient and gorgeous. Attila could do a lot worse than pay tribute to The Mighty Diamonds by playing their finest hit at Withdean. Title: 'I Need A Roof (Over My Head)'.



Quality, not quantity innit

Our boy David Guetta just been announced as headliner for Capital FM Summer Ball.

Great thread! Proper old-school binfest with some top-notch ranting by Nibble.

EDIT: And my 14-year old son is now 31!

That was EXACTLY what I was thinking.

I can just picture him with a sign on the wall saying "You don't have to mad to work here......but it helps!"

 

[jackalbion]

I've had enough of you you massive twat. I hope one day I meet you cos I'm going to take your f***ing skull apart. I will absaloutley f***ing destroy you, you little shit. Let's see how f***ing gobby you are then you f***ing ****. Sad arse motherfucker. I cannot wait to meet you and stove your f***ing head in.

You haven't got a f***ing clue who I am or what I am like yet you constantly dig at me. If you want a f***ing pop at Les, go ahead but you bring me into your pathetic little world once more I will f*** you up.

 

[Eeyore]

Best gig of the year, by far!!! Even if I did break my finger and get a black eye

Hold on. You would have been about 12 when this thread started.

Anyway. Nibble's flounce has be the greatest ever. And they would have a few top 5 candidates in this thread alone.
