There seem to be an incredbile amount of great live music to see at the moment. In the last month, I've seen Swans (last night in fact), Baby Dee and Paul Nilssen-Love. Every gig has been incredible. Maybe I've just hit the sweet spot between disposable income and targeted marketing but my God, there's a lot of stuff to go to. The next month brings:
Mudhobey (with Wolf People supporting)
Boredoms
Jaki Liebezeit
Amon Duul 2
This is I guess in part due to great 70s bands reforming and doing a gig or two (or even 60s bands in the case of Kalidoscope). A band like Swans strike me as being at a high watermark of critical praise and crowd attraction. Also, a bit like debates about the relative cheapness of records vs other disposables, it strikes me that £15-20 for a evening's live entertainment, often with seveal support acts is an absolute bargain. Thoughts welcome.
