Ah stop … like something you’d hear from a bad 70s movie.

I’ve a pair of tickets for Viv Albertine in conversation at NCH on Saturday night. If anyone wants them (for free), give me a shout

What does he sing mate?

Fagan_ODowd · March 4, 2019, 10:17am

You left out in conversation with Una Mullally

You’ve an eye on you for the kit. Nothing wrong with 70s B movies, just didn’t always love the keyboardist’s style.

I’ve observed too that old people can be worse than young people for watching a whole concert through their phone’s. Two people in front of me probably recorded about 70% of it.

Fagan_ODowd · March 4, 2019, 10:34am

Yes a relatively mature couple in front of me recorded lots of it. Don’t go in for that myself, but to each their own

caulifloweredneanderthal · March 4, 2019, 10:45am

It’s in conversation with Sinead Gleeson that night mate.

caulifloweredneanderthal · March 4, 2019, 10:47am

Just a few covers mate

Not if it’s blocking the entire view of the person behind you though.

Fagan_ODowd · March 4, 2019, 10:59am

That’s poor form.

The Prodigy like the Pope earlier this week gave a huge two fingers to the whole BDS bullshit movement and came to visit Tel Aviv last night. I needed to let off a bit of steam so i decided to head along in. I have always being a huge fan of these guys but the closest i have gotten to seeing them live was when i met Liam Howlett checking thru security at London City airport for a flight to Luxembourg in 2010, ( documented in the celeb spot thread iIrc).
Anyway, they put on a smashing performance last night, they tore into it from the beginning with “Voodoo People” that had the whole Tel Aviv event center thumping up and down. The show was insane, Keith Flint and Maxim Reality for men in their late 40’s look very fit and they dont look like the type of guys who are into gait analysis and foam rolling, good honest to god living has had no bad effect on these lads.
The intensity of the thing continued and turned into a full blown rave at one stage as the old tunes like “No good” and “break and enter” from The Jilted Generation and then the old hardcore breakbeat classics from their critically acclaimed (well by me anyway) first album such as the aptly named “Jericho”, “wind it up” and my own personal favourite " the weather experience" had the crowd driven into an total and utter frenzy.
Flint didnt let up, he had the crowd in his hand and was all the time trying to incite mayhem and launched random verbal attacks attacks on the VIP section of the crowd. They finished up with “Their Law” and a tune from their latest album that i cant remember.
A wonderful show, 2 hours long on a balmy May night, i was drenched in sweat by the end but was buzzing from the energy , booze and smoke…
as an aside the crowd was late 20’s - 30’s and the talent was incredible.

Oh dear …

myboyblue · March 5, 2019, 10:41am

What did Flint die of?

Fagan_ODowd · March 5, 2019, 10:41am

He died of a Sunday

myboyblue · March 5, 2019, 10:43am

He didn’t like Monday’s either huh

TheUlteriorMotive · March 5, 2019, 10:56am

He ran a 5km at the weekend in 21 minutes.

anon61878697 · March 5, 2019, 10:57am

No idea.

Years of hard drugs depleted his serotonin no doubt… Every day must have been torture for him.

anon61878697 · March 5, 2019, 10:58am

Any fool with two functioning legs could do that… couldnt they?

myboyblue · March 5, 2019, 11:02am

You lads and your drug past are fucked. Enjoy what you have left of life.

anon61878697 · March 5, 2019, 11:06am

You still smoking 50 a day?
