I saw them in Madrid this year. They are amazing!! If you still having the opportunity to go, GO dont think about the price

a bit long in the tooth for most of you round here i guess but should be good & 1st. time at the Symphony Hall for me.
That's gotta be something! Tell us about it will you?
Excellent show, not the old Zep stuff (but we knew that) he's matured well & assembled a great bunch of musicians for this new album & tour. they did a brilliant job of covering a few early Zep tracks transforming them into cool bluesy numbers.
1st time i'd been to the relatively new Birmingham Symphony Hall, a lovely place - reminded me (internally) so much of the Copenhagen Royal Opera House where we met up to see our Pol back in 2006....so long ago now!!
hey, but i had a major surprise when i collected my tickets .....
Have you seen 'Oil City Confidential', mart? I haven't, but it looks quite good and I've heard good things about it. I think Julien Temple won an award for it recently.
Comment on youtube:
'If you can get to Bath, UK on 16 November, the Bath Film Festival are screening OIL CITY CONFIDENTIAL, Julien Temple's terrific documentary about Dr Feelgood, followed by a live performance by The Wilko Johnson Band. Happening at Komedia in Bath. Unmissable!'
Probably seen him more times than any other band, used to go to Half Moon Putney regularly to get guitar machine-gunned. There's a definate screw loose there somewhere, but in a good way
Rodrigo y Gabriela (brilliant) and Goldfrapp (a little lacklustre) just gone. GY!BE and Amos curated ATP's next, 7 days of music (managed to score photopasses which will be fun).

yea got it on Sky+ a few months back - well worth watching & a good insight, i'd seen Feelgood (the originals) a dozen time or more but found out some interesting stuff from Oil City Confidential - i was just a young buck @ the time so good to look back & learn

yea he does seem barking........ but in a good way, he seems a right card he had the ex bass player from the Blockheads & he appears as mad but jeez can he play bass, cracking night
no longer upcoming but three days past the show in Gothenburg this Saturday last when I saw Imogen Heap for the first time it was truly spectacular stunningly sublime so to well enough describe its excellence I feel that I can only quote the words "an epic concert" uttered afterwards by another member of the audience
I continue my habit of making rhyme to describe such a musical good time an experience that merits more than prose if I am truly to express my personal praise now that it's been no less than three days since I saw Immi Heap perform a full doze of her songs on stage, a two and half hour set with a five-member band, how very well met I do declare, that I was actually there!
Went to see Godlfrapp last tuesday in Brussels (for the 3rd time in a couple of months) and it was absolutely brilliant! Alison was radiant and as gorgeous as ever, musicians in top form, and I had a hell of a good time! I have developed a slight obsession for Alison lately...
