    It might have been John Newman, maybe?

    also seasick steve's new guitar was interesting, but that's about it for me. wtf are the "arctic monkeys" supposed to be about btw, total bollix n I've suffered em twice in the same headline slot now. It's actually boring their studio 'dynamism' doesn't translate to the live setting, quelle surprise.

    I thought Arctic Monkeys really nailed it last night. The set had a good blend of their material and they really played like a great rock band. I thought Turner's 'band leader' character was pretty decent and he'd good crowd interaction. Good opening headliner.

    It was good to see John-Paul Jones with Seasick Steve even though I'm not a big fan of the latter.

    Is a coup for seasick Steve but what does JPJ get out of it? Not particularly musically engaging.. maybe it just pays well, and some adulation as he looks content enough to not have to do much

    Looking forward to the headline slot tonight. Fcuking stones, they don't come no bigger nor older

    Or, shock horror, he just enjoys it? They play together often.

    Watching it on BBC iplayer as they show the full sets with no inane "presenter" crap, Portishead, Django Django and Dinosaur Jr where all fantastic last night, Tom Tom Club were pretty funk to.

    Just watching the AM on Youtube now. Cool lads, not into the new look though. :)

    Can anyone tell me what channel and time the Rolling Stones will be on? Can't find it anywhere online or in the TV listings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,543 ✭✭✭Mick Murdock


    Pretty sure they said half 10 on BBC2 as they went off air..

    They also said live for an hour. Pretty sure they show the full gigs on the red button or sometimes on BBC4. Don't have access to either the mo. :(

    Does anybody know what the first song Portishead did last night was,I had never heard them before and I thought it was brilliant.

    the Stones are only allowing them to show an hour of the show, similar to Neil Young a couple of years ago only allowed 5 songs to be broadcast because he believed in the live event retaining it's mystery whereas the Stones are releasing a DVD this year and full coverage of one of their gigs would impact on sales

    Good stuff from Two Door Cinema Club at the moment on BBC Three.

    Example is a really poor singer

    The Strypes played a good set - lead singer taking fashion tips from Bobby Gillespie!

    One of the Great bands but stuff like this really pisses me off.. Mick might be an old sod but he's still as money hungry as ever.

    Trying to make up for his tiny todger.

    I think the fact that an arctic monkeys fan had a massive Pedobear banner says a lot

    Really? What does it say?

    Only Bobby Gillespie can get away with a suit like that; wouldn't you boys concur!

    didn't catch much, saw some savages, stones and Rodriguez n that's about it. Better caliber of stuff than last night, which is typical I guess
