commentsLive: Wednesday 10th January 1996 - Town Hall, Wellington Live: Saturday 26th June 2004 - St.James Theatre, Auckland “The Diamond Sea” played at Wellington Town Hall in 1996 could possibly be my single best live musical “moment”.
commentsLive: Saturday 19th July, 2003 - Town Hall, Auckland Tagged onto the end of a work-related stay in Auckland, this gig was a great way to see out the week.
commentsLive: Tuesday 27th September 2005 - The Olympia, Dublin Not a moment or note was wasted during the Furry’s majestic, life affirming set.
commentsLive: Thursday 20th March 1980, Athletic Park, Wellington. Six months after the release of “Tusk”, The Mac had an infamous melt down on stage at Athletic Park.
commentsSame year and era as Tuesday’s record, but an entirley different beast altogether. An Afro-infused ryhtmic treat. Think Paul Simon’s Graceland but with autotune and a greater pop sensibility (and more hooks).
commentsDirty old psychedelic blues played by Illinoisan brothers Caleb and Ashton Bird. (They call it sludge metal in those parts!) Riff after infectious riff - it’s relentlessness is wall to wall.
commentsTo be perfectly honest, I’ve never been a fan of Daft Punk. This changed this morning while reading my book “Vinyl Me, Please: 100 Albums You Need on Vinyl and Why”.
commentsI’ve got 30 minutes to spare this afternoon. I’ve therefore taken a speed over substance approach. This classic (highly regarded by speed metal purests anyway) is literally all over in a flash - but what a flash!
commentsNext month I’m only playing stuff from bands or artists that I have experienced live. This is a bit of a head start, a band I hold in the highest regard and witnessed live in London in 2014.
