Heartland

Was going to add this to the 'encores' thread but decided it deserved a new one. Thinking of bands not taking the encore seriously I remember the Pixies doing their set backwards once, starting with the encores, going off after each one then coming back on to run the main set backwards to the beginning. Oh (barely concealed glee over the contrived link) and speaking of the Pixies we shall be landing in Manchester about 1:30 for them this afternoon! Then flooding out with the rest of the crowds during the Stereophonic's set, or sooner if we can manage it...

Wish i was seeing them this year.... my only T in The Park regret...

Paddy.

I saw them at "Werchter".
I must admid I didn't know alot of there somgs but it was a verry nice show.

Woo hoo. I'm off to The Pixies too.
The Cure last night were .... rather good. mm hmm.

Ah! It's Gripper! Long time no hear. I quite like the 'Phonics myself. And Travis. And Coldplay. Not too keen on the bits of Radiohead I've heard though. Am I missing the point?

muse's big brothers

the first 3 albums (when they still knocked out a good tune, and before they disappeared up their arses) are classics

I saw the Pixies this week ( 06-07-2004) in the Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam.
And it was great, I think they played about 25 songs.

They have released also a new song called "Bam Thwok" with Kim Deal on vocals.

The Pixies.....*sigh* and HOW shocked were the crowd when Mr Black actually SPOKE!!!!

Bestist bits? Cactus (frikkin brilliant) and Here comes your man (simply stunning) Oh and Joey giving it some with the drum stick.

Another bestist bit....knowing the tee shirt sellers had missed the boat by not being outside the gates after The Pixies set, instead choosing to wait til after the whole gig! HA HA HA HA HA HA

Glad to know the Stereophonics fans had PLENTY of room to see their heroes..... Oh and Tim Booth's little comment was worth a chuckle.

Nice to see you again JC - as we said, if you stand still you''re more likely to find the people you're looking for.

So what happened? Couldn't handle the success of OK Computer? Even I've heard of that one.

just watched them play Bone Machine and Broken Face, live at T-In The Park
most excellent to see the 40+s being baldy and proud, fat and out there, Mumsy looking, yet rocking and relevant
Righteous!

i think they got bored with makang traditional guitar-based rock songs in 4/4 time, that you could hum, tap your foot too and remember the titles of

Muses BIG brother?

Your on drugs surely..... just because Matt Bellamy also uses a falsetto

madness!

no, The Bends is their best album.
agree with the up their own arses comment.

imo the bends isn't even an album....
it's just a collection of songs (some good, some excecrable)

yes they were.
I was a bit far away to really enjoy the show. left from the lighttower I could see most of the stage but not all of it

I fought my way forwards (almost litterally, when a group of 15 year old kids who didn't even enjoy the gig wouldn't let me pass....

We where pushed back by 2 women with umbrellas, and when the show started they left for some reason, weird people. (Hollanders geloof ik)
