Porcupine Tree @ Radio City Music Hall - They played a blistering 2 and a half hour set. Starting off a "Self Help Group" set up, as Steven Wilson described it, for the first half hour. They all sat in a straight line playing a few acoustic songs. Acoustic guitars, stand up basses, and a very simple drum kit. The first batch of songs they played were all pre Stupid Dream with the exception of one. After finishing off the acoustic set, Steven Wilson shouted out "Thanks for the support, now stick around for the headlining band." After a 10 minute break, they came back with the full stage set up and continuously kicked our balls and cunts in with non stop rock euphoria. They played tasty jams from all their albums with the exception of "In Absentia". Perfect show at a great venue.

Celibate Rifles, Grand Fatal on Friday night at Sandringham Hotel, Sydney. There was another band, Molten Universe, but unfortunately I arrived too late to see and hear them. But the Rifles always put on a great show!!!!! Been following them for 30 years now, and got some really great photos. I've never before seen Grand Fatal but enjoyed them very much, even bought a couple of their EPs from the merch table. It was a fun gig all round, some of the audience members remembered me from years earlier!!! and I remembered them as well. It's like a class reunion!!

Placebo.

Saw them on Monday 27th September, and they were mental. It was like... When you go to see a band, you go to see the band and hear the music. Whereas with Placebo, you don't pay attention to them like, at all. You just sing your heart out and dance with your friends. For once, it wasn't about the fame, the lighting show or whether or not the drummer had his shirt off. It was one of the best atmosphere's I've ever been in.

it's been a good week for me. in the past 7 days, i've seen Slayer, Megadeth, & Anthrax (on the same night, the Jagermeister tour), Atari Teenage Riot, and The Pixies! all of them were great in their own right. since they are pretty different genres i don't feel i have to judge one against the other.

Just went to see Roger Waters, last night in Boston--what an incredible show!!

Shakira. never been to a pop show and she blew me away. Just amazing

Awesome pics Lisa! It looks like it was a great show.

I saw The Blood Arm last Saturday. They were amazing.

SToNE!!! playing the Londonderry Hot Rod Show. Got some really really great pics and video today. Yep, their "stage" was the trailer of a huge truck!!

the Gorillaz just KILLED IT at the Garden in NYC; for two hours, the likes of Mos Def, De La Soul, a classical string quintet, traditional middle eastern musicians, fucking LOU REED, gospel singers and a high school horn section, all took turns joining Damon Albarn, with Mick Jones & Paul Simonon of THE CLASH, as they backed up a cartoon band. THAT'S what i call a friday night.

also there was a prerecorded video intro by Snoop Dogg. dressed as a pirate. straight up, muthafuckas.

Haha, fuck yeah dude. I was there too. Too bad Lou Reed sucked a huge bag of dicks. Everything else about that show was simply amazing. I loved 19-2000, Stylo, and Empire Ants. Definitely hope they come back around again.

the latest one is Atari Teenage Riot about a month ago

Last night I went and saw Land Of Talk w/ The Suuns, both migrating from Montreal. I mainly went to see The Suuns after downloading a free EP and I liked what I heard, a great electronic/psychedelic rock type of band and they put on a great performance that sort of reminded me of Autolux. Land Of Talk was backed by The Suuns powerful sound and really set a great tone for the rest of the night. The show was a surprisingly packed and even the singer of Land Of Talk couldn't get over the size of the crowd since it was the first time for both bands in PHX. She commented with "Man, it's only Tuesday; There's things I love, that I don't love on Tuesdays..." The crowd was also very supportive, moreso than usual and in such a small venue, they all seemed to dig the music.

Last night I had a blast attending an event dubbed The Most Interesting Show In The World hosted by Party Man Andrew W.K. This was a special invitation only and I got lucky to experience this wild extravaganza...there were gorgeous burlesque dancers, circus acts, even a man breaking the guiness book of world record by submurging himself in a tank of water for over 20min. Andrew W.K. didn't disappoint and rocked it out hard. Just an all around awesome night...definitely a great way to celebrate 10/10/10

WOW!!! Sounds like a great show!!!!
