goldblackman commented on the post, Get Back, anybody watching? 1 month, 3 weeks ago

There’s an awful lot of smoking going on by everyone on the set, what with the fags and big cigars (a) the place must have rather smelt (a bit like your clothes after a night out at a gig or in the pub before t […]

Don’t think he played it at the 2019 Birmingham NEC Show – which was a shame
goldblackman commented on the post, HMV announces new stores 6 months ago

I was in the Vault last Sunday for the first time, it’s massive and carries so much stock on virtually everything and is all well spaced out. However, albeit it was a Sunday and we are still to fully get our s […]
goldblackman commented on the post, Viagogo – has anyone ever had a good experience? 9 months, 3 weeks ago

Not to dissimilar to neverflown above. Pre-lockdown I would often take my wife and daughter to gigs that I wasn’t particularly interested in, and would wait outside to pick them up after the show. For most shows f […]

Apparently both Reading and Leeds sold out yesterday looking at their official Twitter site

Alistair Campbell just tweeted this:

As the worst US President of our lifetime prepares to leave office, we’re watching a wonderful @SkyArts documentary on Jimmy Carter and the role of music in his politics. M […]

Jimmy Carter was just before my time, but watched this film on the Sky documentaries channel (available on catch up) and oh my, what a film and man. Fantastic clips and interviews with a range of rock & roll, jazz […]
goldblackman commented on the post, Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia racist yea or nay? 1 year, 4 months ago

I’ve never been a big fan either – but if you watched last years finale there were as many EU flags being waved by the crowd as the more traditional Union Jacks. A minor act of rebellion and made me rethink my v […]

goldblackman wrote a new post, Gigs – radio interview podcast thing 3 years, 1 month ago

Hi all
I recently did an interview on Radio Parkies to accompany my Twitter site gigarchive@gigtickets2 which I’ve set up as a repository for gig tickets and personal memories for anyone wishing to participate. P […]

Thanks Retro.

Yes I was a Wolverhampton lad so the Civic was my venue of choice. However, in 1980 at a Skids concert a group of skinheads smashed a large glass pane at the front of the hall, and they ‘banned’ gig […]

Thank you!!
goldblackman wrote a new post, Gig Archive 3 years, 3 months ago

Hi there
I’ve just set up a new twitter account thingy as gigarchive@gigtickets2.
In it I’ve posted copies of many of my concert tickets going back 30+ years and put a personal memory for each one as to what sti […]
goldblackman commented on the post, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 5 years, 7 months ago

No worse or no better than any outdoor cavernous 90,000 seater stadium open to the elements – which I presume can be dodgy if you are in the very top tier. His voice is much rawer/shouty than it used to be, which […]
goldblackman commented on the post, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 5 years, 7 months ago

Love this thread, took in the Manchester, Coventry and Wembley shows and agree – unbelievable!!

As many have already pointed out, each show is so unique, you could see them all and never get tired.

Over […]

goldblackman commented on the post, Longest gap between seeing a band 6 years, 8 months ago

I’m well beat. Strange how some bands can be enjoyed but not revisited for decades, but others (I know I do/have) we will routinely go to see each and every time they come round with diminishing returns… One […]
goldblackman wrote a new post, Longest gap between seeing a band 6 years, 8 months ago

Last night I went to see the UK Subs (old punk band) in Wolverhampton, the last time I saw them live was back in 1982 at the old Birmingham Digbeth – a gap of 32 years!! As far as I am aware they have never split […]
goldblackman commented on the post, The Brits 6 years, 10 months ago

Sat with my 14 yr old daughter, instead of her sort of moping about in her room on Twitter etc. I guess this is a bit like the old Eurovision gather round the TV for the next generation moment. Music not really my […]
