lepeep Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 not a lot of people talking at this one (20 from the front).what a fucking huge place the Alexandra palace is ?! holy shit...it'd be too big, if I wasn't close to the front...sneaked in my 8megapixel camera too...but, low lighting = open shutter...nice in some photos...but I'd have like one or two "clean" shots.

nullmouse Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Go on then, make me sick. How good was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 NUll, it was good, but Gabi and I both thought that the glasgow gig last year was far better ("smaller" venue, and a more "into it" crowd...too many f.e.b.s (he he))he did play a lot of "new" classics, mostly from Abitoir Blues, but he did play red right hand (*spooot*...amazing, as usual!)stagger leedo you love medeannathe mercy seat (which was particularly good).

nullmouse Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 yea i'll go with alun. how good we speaking bout here *still hates fact had to sell his tickets*You're probably about as gutted at that as I am about not being able to buy any of them from you :/lepeep - The Glasgow gig at Carling was very good (aside from the sound) but the Barrowlands gig a few years before that is still my favourite. Sounds like the setlist in London was great, though - Hearing Deanna live at the Carling in Glasgow was brilliant, one of my favourites.

lepeep Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Gabi says :nick cave, fantastic, (10/10).venue, to fucking big (6/10)crowd (shuffling MIddle aged folks, who can afford 30+ quid for a ticket 5/ 10)oh, sons and daughters...they looked like they were struggling a bit, "too big" and probably underwhelmed by the audience.(one girl next to us "do you know who they are ?" "aye, they are the sons and daughters, on domino, from scotland..." "oh, I've never heard of them")....sounded good, but Adel's mic was pretty low, and broke in the middle on one song...and she fell on her bum (oops).

Late night, half asleep, watching Jools Holland rinky-dink the crap out of another good song when the camera panned around to good ol' Nick. They slunk into Red Right Hand and I was hooked. Took me ages to get to see him live though, including one disasterous attempt to catch him play at T in the Park circa Murder Ballads. One day I'll get drunk and recall all my failed attemptes to see him live, but until then you're all safe from my monotonous self-indulgence. Aside from this post, of course.

Kai Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Me and Steve and Christy were at the Alexandra Palace gig last nite. Good performance, strange venue. The backing singers were great - in fact so were the whole band - and when it all kicked off they made a mighty noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just punched straight through me when Nick and singers informed the audience there was a war coming. Magic.Was initially kind of dubious about the backing gospel singers, but it works really well. Loved the touches to the older material, but I still can't help but miss Blixa... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
