But I'll make this a thread of some more recent-ish gigs I loved.

It'll be pretty random..whatever pops up on my phone reminder no doubt.

I'll start of with #JarvisCocker who joined #ArcadeFire at #WembleyArena back in 2018

Here's a favourite of mine. An absolutely spellbinding #gig by #MGMT 2018

Bizarrely making their festival entrance on the mainstage AFTER headliners Pearl Jam had finished their traditionally long set. It could have been a damp squib. But they played hit after hit, fun & full of energy it was a wonderful performance, with a mesmerising video wall & light show that went on until after 3am. We left euphoric

I saw The The twice in 2018. First at the #BrixtonAcademy then a couple of days later at #TheTroxy . I hadn't seen Matt and his band in their 80s heyday so this reunion tour was fantastic for me.

First up are photos from the Brixton gig

And here are the photos of the #TheThe #gig at #TheTroxy 2018.

I had to take a photo of DC Collard on keys, who received a standing ovation for his wizardry playing Uncertain Smile

This is #JohnGrant at the Brighton Dome 2018 from his tour of the Love Is Magic album

Behind him you can see legendary drummer Budgie, ex of Banshees & the Creatures, who had played live with him on many occasions.

Here's OMD @BrightonCentre 2021.
The synth pop pioneers performed the 1981 album Architecture & Morality followed by a 2nd half of hits. Their moody electro soundscapes made them a serious art band, but the audience went wild for the big pop tunes & Andy McCluskey came into his own as a dancing front man

#PearlJam headlined at Nos Festival in Lisbon, 2018 and was joined on stage by Jack White and Josh Homme.

The photos are a bit rubbish, blurred and grainy as it was a large festival and I was a million miles back, but it's great to have any memento of a brilliant gig.

Some more from the 2018 Nos Festival in Lisbon. The New Jersey #IndieRock band #RealEstate

They were touring the In Mind album but I was a big fan of their previous, the acclaimed Atlas, which they played a lot from. Wonderful multi layered guitar interplay, melodies & vocal harmonies takes you back to an imagined Laurel Canyon.

Continuing my photos of #gigs past #Blondie Brighton 2017 from their Pollinator tour. I had good seats for a change

Deborah Harry is one of the most incredible style icons in rock music. My first pop idol from childhood, impossibly cool, chic & beautiful. A definitive sound of the post punk pop late 70s

I met the late Sean Hughes at this gig. The 2nd time I'd met him at a gig for a nice chat, previously being a Wonderstuff/Wedding Present gig. He was to sadly pass a few months later

Continuing my photos of #gigs past here's a #throwback to #KendrickLamar playing #Copenhagen in 2018. He was touring his Damn album.

As well as being mainstage he appeared in a mini cage that rose from the seats of the stalls. I was able to take good shots as he was quite close.

Continuing my photos of #gigs past here's a #throwback to #TheNational playing #NOS Lisbon in 2018. I was quite far back as I often am at festival mainstages.

The National are a really good live band, considering their more low key brand of rock. It was the only time I've seen them. The crowd loved them.

Continuing my photos of #gigs past here's a #throwback to #James playing #KewGardens in 2017.

Kew the Music is a laid back picnic affair for posh people. I brought my own stool, a vegetarian quiche & some non alcoholic beer to fit in with the locals. Although they were all pissed on Waitrose wine & Pimms
