Just got our tickets the The Who's perth concert in April 09 with The Counting Crows supporting, ok so its not the same as seeing The Who 30 years ago but it should be a good night out.

Impossible to put into words how jealous I am

Going to try and catch Emmy the Great in either Liverpool or Manchester sometime in February, but I'll happily trade you.

ii'm going to see KINGS OF LEON in Cardiff International Areana on Wednesday. Can't wait, been a big an since Youth and Young Manhood and this is the first time I managed to get tickets to go see them. (well my missus' got them for my birthday in Oct, bless her)

Enjoy it, mate! Saw 'em at Newcastle Arena on the 4th and they absolutely rocked!

James rocked teh house down last night - they were fantastic, he came on stage like a boxer - singing his way through the crowds backed by an acoustic guitar

Athlete we re pretty good too

NMA tonight - shame you aren't gonna be there Sloweye

[Allegra]

Attended two excellent concerts a few weeks ago at Royal Festival Hall: Charles Dutoit conducting Philharmonia Orchestra played Mahler's Symphony No.1 and with the Dutch virtuoso Janine Jansen played Beethoven's violin concerto; Vladimir Jurowski conducting LPO performed a brilliant Tchaikovsky's 6th symphony and Helene Grimaud played Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto.

First class performance and I must say it again the audience in London are the best behaved! Except people clapped like crazy after the 3rd movement of Tchaikovsky's 6th but that's only because the exuberant movement was done too good! Here is the Karajan version:

*wonders up and down mumbeling*

Sure it will be great, expect a full report tomorrow

(i'll get to see them one day)

[Majimaune]

Are Kings Of Leon worth AU$90 to go and see?

[Tansy]

Well I waited 17 years to see them :0

and yes they were worth the wait - support act was a little strange but they were fantastic and they ended on Green and Grey.. what more could you ask for

Maj - yes I'd say they were.. not at the expense of food or rent thought if you can afford hell yeah

Wow, lucky you! I'm as jealous as Simian.

I hope they haven't changed too much and that you enjoy the show.
