My Occasional Ramblings.

My previous gig history.

Well, it's 16:20 on Sunday afternoon and here I am still sat at work running go-live testing for a live system upgrade and waiting for a process to complete before moving to the next stage in the go-live plan. So I thought I'd briefly go over some of the other concerts/gigs I've been to over the last few months.

In October 2005 I saw:
Dio at the Astoria - a great show, what a set of lungs he has and he still has a great band.
Dream Theater at the Hammersmith Apollo - amazing, just amazing. The first night was a set drawn from their entire back catalogue. The second night included a performance of the Dark Side of the Moon album, proverbial shivers down the backbone.

September 2005:
Iron Maiden at Hammersmith Apollo - The Clive Burr fund raiser. What can I say, 24 years after first seeing Maiden they are still amongst the best live acts.

August 2005:
Day Ticket for Reading Festival.

Prior to August I have also seen the following this year:
Motorhead (with Saxon & Girlschool in support)
Hawkwind
Judas Priest (with The Scorpions in support)
The Musical Box (a recreation of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway live shows)
The Australian Pink Floyd
Porcupine Tree
Ummagummaa (early Pink Floyd tribute)

I'm sure there are probably a couple that I have missed here.

Watch this space for further concert reviews. I will be going to two gigs later this month.
