Back at the old place I saw them all...Roses, Stuffies, Manics, Blur, Neds, Ride, Levs, Senser etc etc
Senser, there's a blast from the past!
A proto-Rage Against the Machine, but from South London for the uninitiated. I've got a copy of Stacked Up kicking about at my parents house somewhere.
Will always remember their blistering set at Glastonbury 1994. I was standing right by Katie Puckrick (who? Exactly)...
Reading the same year:
last.........alabamha 3 at leeds o2
next.........paul wellar at sheffield arena
Last: Alessi's Ark/Smoke Fairies/Fanfarlow/Laura Marling at the Serpentine Sessions on Thursday in Hyde Park, next possibly Heidi Talbot at the Thekla in Bristol on the 5 September, next definite is The Like at the Jerico Tavern Oxford on 10 September and Wolf Parade at the Thekla Bristol on 11 September.
Yikes, all very 'sensible' acts listed so far...
Mine:
Last: Dying Fetus + Origin @ Manchester Academy
Next: Remarc + Rotator @ Manchester
Infest Festival @ Bradford
Godflesh + Swans @ Supersonic Festival, Birmingham
Dillinger Escape Plan + More @ Damnation Festival, Leeds
Atari Teenegae Riot @ Manchester
Nothing else booked so far 
Last: Hard Rock Calling (Friday), Hyde Park: Robert Francis, Gaslight Anthem, The Hives, Ben Harper & Relentless7, Pearl Jam. I mainly went for Pearl Jam (obviously) and Ben Harper, but I also like Gaslight Anthem and The Hives.
Next: Eels, Gorillaz or Skunk Anansie, depending on what order they're happening and who I persuade to go see each of them.
Last was either Echo & the Bunnymen at Camden Crawl or Van Morrison doing Astral Weeks - I don't really remember. Wish it was someone a bit cooler.
Next is Primal Scream doing Screamadelica in November.
Don't get out to as many gigs as I used to.
Will always remember their blistering set at Glastonbury 1994. I was standing right by Katie Puckrick (who? Exactly)...
I think I was at that one...did they play the NME stage early on? Same day as Chumbawamba, The Sea, Back to the Planet etc?
If that was the day, they played the clearing on the same night...but with a tiny generator....mmmmm acid 
Back to the Planet, saw them at Kidderminster Market Tavern, beat that!!!!
Was Glastonbury 1994 the year Cash played, I was hobbling around on crutches and mushrooms!!!
That Senser at Reading was that the year of Fishbone, Lemonheads Dinosaur Jnr etc....won free tickets to that at a Neds gig.
I was there ^ BTTP at Kiddi. Also saw RDF, Chumbas, Citizen Fish, Family Cat etc at Kiddi. Great venue...
Last - Richard Thompson's Cabaret of Souls concert at Meltdown 2010
Next - Will be Richard Thompson again in January
Probably others over the rest of the year
Last Isis
Next Clutch followed by Converge the night after.
Last one was a "lesser known" band called Heavens Basement in a tiny venue. They were awesome - great atmosphere and very loud
Next is Lady Gaga in September 
Marc Almond at the Jazz Cafe a couple of weeks back. Thought I'd hate it, but it was a really good night.
Nothing else planned, I think (and hope), it's difficult to get out these days without the kids. We've got tickets still stuck to the fridge for Jack Johnson a few days back and Lady Gaga in May that we never ended up using. Waste of money. 
Last was **** Buttons in Bristol
Next actually booked is the Belle and Sebastian ATP in December, but looking at Foals, Beach House, Bonnie Prince Billy before then if I've got cash. I've got no holiday until next July, so no festies this summer for me :cries:
Nickelback September 08 NEC.
Last session was Wired playing at son's wedding two weeks ago. What a great night.
I was going to ride over to Hook Norton tonight for The Hamsters playing outdoors and to check out the local produce in the beer tent.
It seems I'm staying at home for a bbq instead. 
Dropkick Murphies at the Barrowlands! Was very good, even with lots of mental weggies. Nothing lined up.
Last: Dan Reed at King Tut's Glasgow (just awesome)
Next: Alice in Chains at O2 Academy Glasgow, then Alter Bridge at the same venue. Finally, Richie Kotzen at the O2 ABC in Glasgow, can't wait for that one. Hopefully some more coming up too 
Last gig - Paul McCartney at Cardiff Millennium Stadium (last weekend).
Next - Andrea Bocelli at the Teatro del Silenzio on 25th of this month
Sorry...
Last was Green Day at LCC.
Next Sonisphere at Knebworth. Rammstein. Fire!
Last - Rollins spoken word (sort of a gig), next - New Model Army next month. Yes, i am old.
Last night: Skerryvore at the Queens Hall here in Dunoon.
Next: nothing planned but it'll probably be Runrig (again!)
Rob
Last was kasabian at carling academy Newcastle, next, dunno, hopefully chemical brothers or Florence at some point, or primal scream if they're oop north again, saw them last year on Newcastle and blew me away
Last gig, Midlake in Liverpool on monday night, excellent live band.
Next, Oceansize (another great live band) in Newcastle in september although i suspect i'll go to another gig before this as september is some way off.
rusty trowel - MemberLast - Rollins spoken word (sort of a gig), next - New Model Army next month. Yes, i am old.
Funnily enough, I'm wearing my Henry Rollins 'Frequent Flyer Tour 2010' shirt at the moment. Saw him for the third time in Bournemouth in January.
Seeing NMA later in the summer too as I have never seen them before and Green & Grey is one of my favourite songs.
Oh and I've recently turned 30 which I used to think was old, but in STW years it's like being 12!
Last: KMFDM @ Academy 3, Manchester
Next: Amphi Festival - Cologne
Last - The La's in Manchester.
Next - probably not any time soon...
Seeing NMA later in the summer too as I have never seen them before and Green & Grey is one of my favourite songs.
