Guest DustyDeviada Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Anybody else there?Just an awesome, awesome gig. I genuinely felt privileged to be only a couple of feet away from one of the greatest acts on the planet.They were hanging around the bar afterwards as well, so I got them to sign my CD and made a point of asking them to come back to Aberdeen. It's not often we get acts of this quality, well done Lemon Tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Missed it so I hope they do come back. Was it sold out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yep, a few folk were queueing for returns but I don't know if they were lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant musicianship, fantastic harmonies, tight as f*** and lots of fun. One of the best things for me was their choice and treatment of the covers which were diverse and done in their own way. Toxic by Britney, Short People and Radiohead with fiddle and mandolin...superb. The bass player doing his tap dancing spot is definatley worth a mention.

flossie suvara Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I got tickets from my wife for a birthday present - although I'd never heard the band, I knew that Chris Thile was an awesome mandolin player. As I play the mandolin myself, I went along prepared to be gobsmacked, and I wasn't disappointed - absolutely stunning musicianship - not just from Chris Thile, but from all the band. Completely different atmosphere in the lemon tree too - no support, seated, no smoking - just a great concert.The covers they did were very good - again, proving the maxim that a good song is a good song, regardless of the style it is played in.I'd go and see Nickel Creek again definately - but first, it's time to get practising on the old poofbat.Flossie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Yeah, I've seen them twice actually, they were even better in Edinburgh a couple of years before, although being in the front row at the Lemon Tree was ace.And if we're looking on the bright side of things I gues my signed CD will be worth more now!Chris Thile to play Glasgow in November though.

nullmouse Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Has BBC 4 showed the stuff it filmed from there yet?I don't know I moved just before the folk fest into an area with no digital reception, so I'm back to four channels and a vague fuzz for 5.
