One of my biggest regrets was not going to see Pink Floyd playing at Earls Court in 1994.A few friends wanted to go and queue up and see if they could get some tickets.I decide not to bother with the queueing up…They managed to get tickets from a tout.
Anyway roll on 20 odd years later and tbh Brit Floyd sounded as tight as the original band.
Yep
Thats why I prefer smaller venues,pubs,clubs.Queuing up with 12000 people doesn’t appear to me anymore And a soon as you find your seat…I need to to toilet 
I’m sure once lockdown is over and things start opening up hopefully the smaller venues will open up as well.
What’s the gig scene like over in SA ? you must have local bands etc doing local gigs.
Thanks for asking. The local bands don’t really play my time of music 
The bands are so few and far between. I enjoy Prime Circle and the Parlatones ( I’ve seen them at gigs) here’s a tiny sample if you’re up to it :
I remember when I was at school a few of us went to see some band but I can’t remember who!, I think it was hawkwind, but not sure, there were a few others too but I cant remember. I have seen though
Procol harem
Status quo ( twice)
One of the best concerts I’ve been to was a charity event at the NEC, ELO 2 featured ( without Jeff lynne) but among them were Edwin starr,
Roy wood
Tom Robinson
And several others, I think it was hosted by Jasper carrot, for me, Edwin Starr and Roy wood stole the show, they were absolutely brilliant, recently we went to see caro emerald, I even managed to get her autograph……
They say, hindsight is a perfect science. Life isn’t life without some regret 
Some nice bands Primus
ELO, Status Quo. The rest I’ve got to look up - I’m going to be very busy
True
And as they also say ‘live and learn’
Then you may enjoy this local tune - on my current playlist:-)
They sound ok
The Parlotones remind me of early Stereophonics
and Prime Circle reminds me off Bush.
And if I really push the boundaries- this is Afrikaans (Belgian Dutch kind of)
Beautiful lyrics.
Basically he’s singing - be still and came lay here beside me tonight - in the stillness

Oh my word Bratti - yes to ALL of them but I’ll have to look up Chuck ! You’ve been so blessed! 
If this were a competition, you’d win hands down Bratti 
Sounds good
I actually think language dos’nt really matter as long as its a good tune.
I listen to stuff by Rammstein ( German ) Volbeat ( Danish)
Sissel ( Norwegian ).Sabaton (Swedish) As long as my feet are tapping !!.
No competition. I’m just a huge music lover and had a lot of friends when I was younger

Tom petty and the heart breakers
James Taylor
Black sabbath
Credence Clearwater Revival or CCR
Elvis Costello
Frank Zappa ( not too fond )

There’s many live Jazz bands, stringed quartets, and other bands who I can’t recall who I saw in other countries etc., some of which were incredible
I would have really liked to have seen Queen and led zeppelin but didn’t
Not to shabby for SA music but nothing like UK/US music
I agree. Music breaks all boundaries so language isn’t an issue. It doesn’t matter. It’s the heart that feels the music most, not as much the ears. 
Ok everyone, Bratti for the win - a life filled with music 
It’s great that you appreciate music in other languages
I fully agree
