Concerts thread: Best/Worst/Next/Last one you attended?

Morrissey is playing Halloween night within walking distance from my home. It’s the first gig of his North American tour. Should I go?

 

He's probably posting the same question somewhere. I've had tickets to see him four times. Saw him once. He canceled the other three.

Between that and the fact that he's now a raging anti-immigrant douchebag, I'm kinda off the Morrissey bandwagon.

 

Yours truly got free tickets - in a suite - to see Fleetwood Mac in Toronto next Monday. I am meh on this, Mrs. Huggy, however, is completely pumped.

 

Johnny Marr videos on YouTube are a good alternative.

 

I just saw Johnny Marr a few weeks ago and he was absolutely great.

 

I'm a massive Neil Finn fan. Seen him live repeatedly, in Crowded House and solo. Now he's in Fleetwood Mac, and they're doing "I Got You" and "Don't Dream It's Over" as part of their set... and it just seems so weird. I don't particularly care about Fleetwood Mac, and touring without Lindsey Buckingham just seems kind of absurd.

 

Also, a side note to that -- I was kind of bummed that Neil is going to be spending the foreseeable future doing Fleetwood Mac stuff, and then I remembered how bad his last few albums have been and it took the sting away.

 

As you know, I am also a huge Neil Finn fan, saw him with CH, solo AND with Split Enz. I said to Mrs. Huggy today that I would be far more interested in this if Lindsay Buckingham was there (who's going to sing my fave Mac song, "Second Hand News"?) and failing that, if they did "I Got You". I agree, it does seem weird but I might pay more attention now, for the curiosity factor if nothing else.

 

I could listen to this everyday.

I found this and Johnny Marr is also great on it.

 

I knew the "and Split Enz" part was coming!

(By the way, they're doing "Second Hand News" and I think Neil is singing it.)

 

Neil singing "Second Hand News"? Hmmm, that might get me away from the bar.

I will submit there is a better chance of me seeing The Gaslight Anthem than you seeing Split Enz, but you never know.

 

The venue is right behind my office; they are doing rehearsals today...he's playing a "biggish" show on the weekend (as he would say) at a festival in LB, so I think the odds of him showing up are pretty strong.

But, I hadn't heard about the racism stuff...so after reading this, I know I'll be staying home:
