Nice one @catdad1, I love the Turnstile
First saw them at Hellfest in 2018 on an early slot on a side stage. I knew they were going to be big based on their stage show. They have gone from strength to strength ever since.
Their show in Brixton after covid was nuts. The crowd and the band collectively lost their shit, it was a beautiful thing.

For the blues heads out there (might just be me), I saw Selwyn Birchwood last night in Columbus. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Mostly played his own stuff but weaved in some Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters while playing slide - melted my soul. His bass player and drummer were really good too. I think his studio albums usually include a sax, keyboards, backup singers, etc but the stripped down set was really fun. Did a Buddy Guy walk out into the crowd thing at the end. Just a complete player and complete blues set. Will absolutely go see him again if I ever get the chance.

I saw Plant with Suzi Dian et al launching his new album and tour on Monday. They're great (as you can imagine any of Plant's bands are). He can still play the harmonica like a beast.
Last night I saw him again in conversation. He is the most chilled muthafucker you can imagine. Zero to prove. The conversation was more like two guys having a pint down at the local.
One of the stories Plant told was that he didn't want to speak with Jeff Buckley after seeing him live as he didn't know what to say. He didn't want to just say "great gig man". He was that nervous about meeting Jeff as he was huge fan. (Ironically Buckley felt the same way about Plant)
Apparently Jimmy Page was at the same Buckley gig and spoke a lot with Jeff after. Plant said, that was probably because Jimmy was looking for another vocalist!

Will this be worth the 2 hour drive back home? Hope so!
