Dead Nobodies #9 - Gigging Forever

[Bert]

How'do ?

Gigs, we love 'em, and this month, we meet someone whose whole life (seemingly) is spent going to them. What better person to take us through a personal and thorough review of some of the choicest, juiciest gigs from 2011 than the King Gig Goer himself, James Hendry AKA gig blogger Gigging Forever.

Join James and I as we wind through the hazy, music filled backwaters of 2011?s gigs, taking in the CRS BoTY awards, strolling past MattFest and Summers End, winding down the back alleys of Opeth and Steven Wilson and finishing off in the little wooded glade that was the Frost* AGM.

And to accompany us on our retrospective, we have some excellent music, mostly culled from live offerings, including Caravan, Mostly Autumn, Rush, Pineapple Thief and much more. Even the theme music from Knight Rider appears in there somewhere !!

All Hail the Hoff !!

What a great podcast - my first time hearing this.  This might get me all the way from Oxon to W. Yorks this weekend!

[Bert]

Thanks JimD

as discussed in the Kate Bush thread  

I'll be the bloke in the Frost* teeshirt...

Well, several hundred miles later and I can say that DN9 did indeed get me from Oxon to W.Yorks and would have covered the whole journey were it not for a bit of a hold up on the A34.  I must confess that I did skip through the Peter Gabriel track as I just couldn't handle it at all (having sat through it on my first listen at work).

Anyway, PG aside, that was a great podcast guys, really enjoyed it (even if I was only at one of the gigs).  So much so that I listened to it again on the way back apart from the first leg which will be discussed in "Travelling at the speed of prog".  

Will deffo be checking out some more podcasts from Dead Nobodies.

DN#9 + Merc = Disaster.
I had the only other old van (I say old, it would be newer than anything @ UPS Dewsbury) today. It "only" had a CD player.
Did catch a bit in Nemo this morning, great idea.

Glad you enjoyed it! You definitely need to check out some more of Bert's podcasts, they're great fun and never outstay their welcome. Unlike Bert...

Not a PG fan, though? Shame on you...

Had a great morning driving around the hills near Halifax & Huddersfield listening to DN#9.
Excellent

Oh I'm a PG fan, but that particular track had way too much "Hurrr-hurrrrrr-hurrr-HURRRRRRRRRRRRRR" and Live-And-Let-Die style orchestral histrionics.  It was making me feel ill!

Listened to the Dec Burke one earlier in the week (interesting to hear that EIMA was originally going to be "Dear Dead Days"). I'm really after DN-7 right now, the big banana one.  But the link is not working.  

Currently listening to DN-8.
