Re: Brighton?
This must be one of the most exhaustive gig reviews I have ever seen written up by local news media. https://www.brightonandhovenews.org/2022/02/18/the-stranglers-return-to-brighton-on-their-final-full-tour-in-memory-of-dave-greenfield/ That's a great review. I guess that it sums up how a lot of fa...

Re: Stoke Victoria Hall
Just got back from seeing them in Stoke. The band were in excellent form and the acoustics in Victoria Hall were very good. I think over the last 41 years of seeing them live, this was the gig I could clearly hear the bass and keyboards perfectly. Jim was lower in the mix but it suited the sound - ...

When that cohesion fails the band doesn’t work as well (doesn’t mean they’re bad, just not as good). Whether a...

Re: French Tour Set Opener....
I would start with heroes or hanging around which I never remember been a opener but I think water is a stick on I'd probably choose something like Hanging Around as well. The only time I can recall them opening with it was Weyfest 2010 - think it might have been chucking it down so maybe the band ...

Re: Dark Matters - Initial Thoughts/Reviews
Did a poll on the sister site on Facebook to gauge best track on first few hearings and as I know a few people here don't do Facebook I thought I would update on results so far to add to debate. So about 15 hours in with over 200 votes cast, this is the tally from Facebook BUT members so far with t...
