Just coming off the back of a stellar week in Toronto where I saw (not for the first time) Peter Hook & the Light, Iron Maiden, and for the first time, Megadeth.
It got me thinking about what other live acts we've enjoyed outside of PSB. I'm influenced a lot by the likes of my family too, so Megadeth wasn't high on my list of people I wanted to see and it was loud and not particularly good in my humble opinion, but Iron Maiden always put on a really great show, and the songs I know I really do like.
This is my 4th time seeing Peter Hook & the Light - this time doing a play through of New Order's "Get Ready", and he has never disappointed. He and his band really have their proverbial $h!t together and for my money are better than New Order are as a live act today (having seen them a number of times after PH left the band).
I was also recently at a Muse concert, and they put on a great show too - they rely a lot on electronics in their act, so it's interesting to see how they work that into a primarily rock genre.
The one band that impressed me live last year was Winnetka Bowling League - reminded me of New Order a bit - but sadly their recorded stuff on Spotify doesn't convey that at all.
I love the Concert Archives app where you can log what you've been to see, add photos and such - feel free to have a look at mine...
