I know not everyone’s cuppa tea (accusations of being a Led Zep ripoff, basically), but I like the albums. The crowd consisted of a mix of older Led Zep rockers, young whippersnappers and everything else in between. Ally Pally is quite a large venue (10400 people according to the website) and it was sold out and although the band were good the atmosphere felt quite flat for some reason, which was a shame.

Fitz Jun 2022 6:10pm, 28 Jun 2022 2,772 posts	0 Fitz Glasto highlights - the first and last acts I saw on the Other Stage were my faves - Kae Tempest and Pet Shop Boys. also saw: Sleaford Mods Supergrass Idles Billy Bragg John Digweed Carl Cox & Eric Powell Chris Difford (with guest apps from Glenn Tilbrook & Michael Eavis!) Noel Gallagher Macca Cassetteboy & DJ Rubbish Glenn Tilbrook Jack White Jarv Is Plus a few unidentified DJs playing house, trance, D&B and reggae. For once, I didn't see the don, Don Letts, despite his playing three sets across the weekend. And I missed not seeing Glasto legends and all-time faves Dreadzone who were not on the bill this year.

flanker Jul 2022 7:36pm, 6 Jul 2022 20,648 posts	0 flanker Manchester Sounds of the City over the last few days, with James, replaying their Alton Towers gig of 92, chock-full of classics that are rarely played these days. Fantastic. The Snuts. Disappointing. They used to be raw and quite punky, but are now polished, produced and becoming very MoR pop and rather boring. Shame. Slow Readers. They do what they do well, but seen it many times and didn't excite me. Pixies. First time live, and despite not knowing a lot of their set, loved it.
