goldblackman commented on the post, HMV announces new stores 1 week, 4 days 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? 4 months, 1 week 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? 11 months, 1 week 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 2 years, 8 months 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 2 years, 9 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, 1 month 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 […]

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 […]

Blimey – just reading Radio Times (i’m old!) and Channel 5 next Tuesday night –
9pm: The Great Big Benefits Wedding Live
10pm: 12 Years Old and on Benefits
11pm: Benefits and Bypasses – Billion Pound […]
goldblackman commented on the post, Longest gap between seeing a band 6 years, 2 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 […]

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, 5 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 […]
