o2 Kentish Town, they are playing the whole of Among the Living.

I think last time I saw them was the same time as you, persistence of time tour

As its Among the Living I think I'm going to have to go to the date in Brum!

I'd like to see Kraftwerk when they tour the UK but have resigned myself to the fact that I'll never get a ticket.

A further 2 dates are on sale tomorrow (Brighton and Oxford), worth a go.

Found it easier to fly to Europe to see them in the past to be honest and go for one of those dates, don't seem to get the scrum....or a secondary ticketing market.

that would be it - really good album - superb production.

might see if I can get to one of the gigs. I saw them support maiden on the......No prayer for the dying tour iirc they were great.

maiden were too but they were promoting a poor album imho - Bruce was waining by then and the split was on teh cards

Looking at a festival in Portugal with Depeche Mode & Foo fighters headlining, also a day or 2 at Reading & wildlife festival at Brighton.

Not bad for starters, one upside to getting divorced; no moaning about 'school night' gigs, or complaints that they 'are your thing'

We are off to see Radiohead at Arras next July. Made up with this. Closer and cheaper than seeing them in the uk.

Similar thing here, but going to Florence instead, in June. We had just come back from a short break in Florence when the tickets went on sale so thought it would be nice to go back. Less hassle getting tickets than trying for UK ones.

[motorizer]

The wildhearts gig at Manchester that I missed due to seeing clutch was rescheduled anyway... so I get to go after all.

[ehonda]

Jan - The Vibrators
Feb - Evil Scarecrow
Maiden in London (whenever that is).
Will be adding Rebellion Festival to that most likely.
