😮 really?? I was the same work Meatloaf though .. went to the bar after about five songs, went back in for the second half but went home after one song. That was his last tour I think, I kept expecting him to keel over, he looked so ill and his voice was terrible. I didn't want to ruin the memories I had of his songs in my mind.
I saw the recent film about Ziggy Stardust and really enjoyed it.

Saw Paul Heaton last year, he was amazing and the person standing in for Jacqui was really really good.

Dh has bought tickets for the Killers - do you think I should go. I think they are great but I don't like big crowds

I did go many years ago to see Lloyd Cole and the Commotions at Brixton academy

@BasiliskStare absolutely you should go! Try not to fret about the crowds and just enjoy yourself. I'm going on 4 July. Absolutely stoked.

@BasiliskStare my sisters have Killers tickets , they have seen them before and thought they were excellent

@BiggerBoat1 I saw Tom Robinson a couple of nights ago , the 60 times in my OP was very conservative ! We are seeing him or the TRB ( I prefer band shows ) 3 x this year .

First: Steps

Worst: none really enjoyed them all
