Black Star Riders The Ritz. Manchester . 13 Dec 2013. I been a long time Thin Lizzy fan and will always thought they were the ultimate live rock band when you had Phil on stage and getting the crowd up for the gigs , y`know not that cliche crap and over the years after Phil`s death Thin Lizzy became a distant memory until John Sykes formed Thin Lizzy again in the late 90`s . How can you have Thin Lizzy without Lynott ? I did`nt go to see them and I would`nt even think it would be even close to the energy and brilliance Phil had on stage . So then May 2013 and the members of the latest line up change their name and release an album . And what an album ! So I get a ticket just going with an open mind and just know that towards the end of the night they will do Lizzy songs and it would be ok . Hell, some bands today cover songs like they are going out of fashion (?) Anyway . The band kicked off with the title track of the new album All Hell Breaks Loose . Great opener and a great song and the straight into a Lizzy song Are You Ready . That was it I was threw out all that cynical stuff in my head and the gig just got better and better . They did a song from the Black Star album folllowed by a Lizzy tune . Bad Reputaion ! and they had to play my fave Lizzy song Emerald ! The audience was up for it all night , none of that do I have to clap attitude . They finished with The Boy`s Are Back In Town . Encore was a briliant Whiskey In the Jar and then the live classic Rosalie . I got to say this gig was an absolute brilliant night and all the doubt`s of the band being a tribute band were forgotten . This band would get away with their own material , no problem . I did di get a lump in the throat when Ricky mentioned that Phil was still on the trail during The Cowboy song But why not celebrate the wonderful legacy that Phil Lynott left behind and keep the Lizzy flag flying high . This band are The Black Star Riders . http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x117/coxy2112/My%20Photos/9d7d3949-2d6d-4657-855d-06202ab3c9f2_zps4bc1b238.jpg

Peter Gabriel Manchester Arena 25th October 2013. I`ve only seen Peter Gabriel live once before in the early 80`s and its still up there with one of the best gigs I`ve ever seen . So you can guess how up for it I was the other night . I was not dissapointed . Started off with the 2 girl members of the band doing 2 songs each of their own material , followed by the Warrington Language Signing Chour signing to a recorded Blood Of Eden . Very moving . Then on came the god like Gabriel with the House lights still on and told us that we was having a three course meal . The starter an Acoustic set , an electronic set and then the desert the entire So album . The acoustic set was just three songs , the first was as Gabriel told us was a song in progress and it could go anywhere with just him at the piano and Tony Levin on Bass . Then Talk To Me followed by the brillaint Shock The Monkey . Next course was the Electronic set . Family Snapshot and Digging the Dirt where just amazing versions and the whole set was brilliant with an fav of mine Family And The Fishing net. Then the final set . The So album . Highlight for me was Mercy Street which Gabriel sang lying down . Only songs for me that did`nt hit that 10 factor was Big Time , maybe the weakest song on the album and of course Dont Give Up . Which he sang with the back up singer Jennie Abrahamson. ( I maybe a bit biased but not as good as Kate Bush ) Encore was The Tower that ate people and Biko . Brilliant show and his voice and his showmanship is as good as that concert back in the 80`s and I just hope I get to see Gabriel just one more time . Peter "Godlike" Gabriel willing

After Earth - Not bad ! The Station Agent - Thrid time I`ve watched it now and I still like it . R.I.P.D. - Entertaining enough to get you through it ,Kinda Men In Black meets ghost.

Oh yeh . I remember that one . I bought it on the Saturday as it was very cheap . Sold it on the Monday at work and I made a Pound. The original is an all time classic . Watched . http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n411/musicalmystery/220px-Incredible-Burt-Wonderstone-Poster_zps8125bf93.jpg Enjoyed . I sat through it all . I guess I was ecspecting something more than very large Robots fighting very large Monsters . http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv19/chicoferreira/Films/Pacific-Rim-02.jpg
