So this week I've photographed three gigs in Cardiff.

Starting Monday with Paul Gilbert at The Globe:

The Saturday was back to the Globe for Anathema:

Opted to shoot from the balcony rather than the front, as you'll see it was a sold out show and the globe was packed:

Did spot a Falling Satellites t-shirt amongst the crowd on the balcony, anyone from here?

Great photos as always Mike. Is that Pete Way on bass , too? I remember seeing them (UFO) a few times in  the 80's. Always a good show

Thanks Owen, no Pete Way hasn't played in the band since 2008.  The bass player is Rob De Luca, Vinnie Moore on guitar (since 2003)  Paul Raymond on guitar and keyboards and Andy Parker on drums

Yes, another good set of photos there Mike.  Interestingly, Paul Gilbert wasn't wearing headphones. Last couples of times I've seen him live he was, due to his damaged hearing.

Thanks DS, yes last I saw him when he was supporting Satch, he was wearing headphones.  I had photo access for that gig but wasn't allowed to photograph Paul Gilbert's set only Satriani's.

He did have headphones on top of his amp but he didn't use them, perhaps he's found ear plugs he's happy with.

Some of us remember seeing them in the '70's. One of the first gigs I went to, the only gig I've seen at Leeds Uni & they were supported by Liar
