    I live on Griffith Avenue and it seems noticeably much louder from Croker tonight.

    I can here practically everything. Didn't hear much Friday night and I was out in town last night so can't comment.

    Very jealous. Love all Ripley's projects. I was gutted when they were announced for Dun Laoghaire. It's just a pain for me to get to. If they'd been in town i could make it. In that pic they appear to be using Gnod's drums. What's going on there?

    Big on the all mouth and trousers scene

    Yeah was wondering that myself.

    Venue is great. Even when a third full. Great sound. I drove out and got parking right outside the door basically. Met the band after aswell.

    He is a clinical psychologist, world renowned, lecturer, author, speaker etc.

    Interesting if somewhat controversial character, I generally find him interesting to listen to but others despise him.

    I wouldnt go to see his talk though as there is loads of material of him speaking online.

    He's a semi interesting person who pops up from time to time online. Speaks quite well.

    Thick people go to see him to make themselves feel smarter.

    I picked up a ticket to see James Taylor on September 26. A pricey enough concert but I managed to pick up one of the cheap seats.

    I agree with the comments above. I've seen James Taylor several times over the years. Always a great show, and a very funny guy too. Last night was particularly enjoyable, not least for the stripped-down band, which worked really well. No bells and whistles, just a great bunch of songs.

    Below, James explaining that the song about Carolina that he's about to do may not be the one that people are expecting... but that other one will be coming up later. Also, signing autographs at the interval (I got an LP signed myself). I wasn't sure he'd keep doing this in a post-Covid world. What a gent.

    Originally was due to be seeing Cheap Trick in London on Thursday, but that was cancelled, but I had a ticket for Lindsey Buckingham at the Helix which was re-arranged for Thursday and of course has also now fallen by the wayside. That means a gap of over 2 weeks between gigs, so with a bit of time on my hands, I thought I would throw up a visual summary of the year to date

    Josh Homme sang at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute concert at Wembley

    One of my albums of photos is called "Zimmerframe Rock" - pictures of everyone over 70 when I saw them. The youngest was actually 70 on the day I saw him - Stueart Smith playing with the Eagles at the Aviva in June. The oldest is Tom Jones - 82 years and 10 days when I saw him at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff along with the Stereophonics. Others over 80 were Bobby Elliott the drummer of the Hollies, Paul McCartney at the Hawkins Tribute, Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness of the Manfreds

    I've got another 78 aged between 70 and 79 (some duplicated) and another 15 or so to go to during the rest of 2022 (only one of them over 80 though!)

    Of course it's a high risk strategy, but to date only one managed to pop their clogs before I was due to see him....

    When they do die they go into the "Rock is Dead they say, Long Live Rock, be it Dead or Alive" album

    That starts with Phil Lynott (died 1986) and currently ends with Gary Brooker of Procol Harum who died in May - was due to see Procol Harum in February, but had seen Brooker back in 2020 at Music for the Marsden that he had pulled together

    Other notable entries in that album are Mercury, Bowie, John Entwistle, Rick Parfitt, Malcolm Young, George Michael, Charlie Watts and Meatloaf. I suspect that one may start to expand quickly over the next few years.....

    Just to add - only half of those pictured above fall into the Zimmerframe Rock album!

    Nice work !!


    Entwistle - he actually drank in a local pub whilst writing his memoirs. Used to play along with the boys in the seisúns !
