Stubs: # 245 – Fleetwood Mac, Auckland, 2019

I wasn’t sold on seeing Fleetwood Mac again straight away – which is to say I was real happy for anyone that was planning to go, but I’d seen them and even if it wasn’t with Christine it was with Lindsey! (And I’m Team Lindsey all the way). But I’m also a Neil Finn fan […]

Gigs I Saw in 2019

I probably saw fewer gigs – and reviewed fewer gigs – in 2019 than any other year. That’s kinda nice. I also paid for a few shows too; more than other years. That’s also nice – liberating…although I’m so conditioned to writing a review to process the show that I still turn out the reviews […]

Gig Review: The Bootleg Beatles (November 14, Wellington)

The Bootleg Beatles Opera House, Wellington Thursday, November 14 I’ve seen The Bootleg Beatles before – so they’re not the only repeat-offenders. They were very good. And I’m not (often) a fan of tribute acts. But a) it’s The Beatles. And b) this is a very good-natured, well-meaning, deftly executed tribute show. It’s about celebrating […]

Stubs: # 233– AC/DC, Wellington, 2015

I first got to see AC/DC in 2010 and it was good. Okay, it wasn’t AC/DC in 1977 or 1980 or even in 1991 – but it was my first chance to see the band. And it was great. Solid-af. I dug it. I didn’t really think it would be as good seeing them a […]

Stubs: # 222 – Foo Fighters, Sydney, 2018

It wasn’t that I was desperate to see the Foo Fighters again – although I was curious (call it a perverse ‘professional curiosity’ if you like…) I saw the Foos when they had only just formed and were rather good. I saw them again, two albums later, as part of a Big Day Out. And they were quite shit. […]

RNZ Reviews: Bob Dylan Gig Review (August, 2018)

Earlier this year I got hooked – all over again – on Bob Dylan. I’m never not hooked on Bob Dylan by the way. I was turned onto his music as a teenager, or maybe at age 12 even. And since then I’ve been a fan. But obviously, when you listen to music obsessively, you can carry a […]

Gig Review: Foo Fighters & Weezer (January 27, Sydney)

Foo Fighters & Weezer ANZ Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park; Sydney, Australia Saturday, January 27 The Foo Fighters are a strange beast – they have been in existence some 22 years. Started, as a solo project by Dave Grohl, a dumping ground for demos he’d been building up in Nirvana’s final moments and then in the […]

Gig Review: Midnight Oil (September 9; Akld)

Midnight Oil Spark Arena; Auckland Saturday, September 9 I’ll admit straight up it was always a dream to see Midnight Oil, they’ve a constant in my life since I was 10 years old, maybe younger even. But the first tape I ever bought was Diesel and Dust and from then I’ve forever been a fan. […]
