Probably the best live band iv ever seen, seen them 4 times now. The only band that iv seen better live was Supergrass.

I went to see Peppers in manchester a couple of weeks back. Absolutely outstanding. Despite been a massive John Frusciante fan, got to say their new stuff with Josh Klinghoffer on guitar is really fresh sounding.

Just got back from watching aloe blacc at 02 academy leeds, wow what a voice this man has,

For the question about walking train station we drove to micklefield and got the train into Leeds, last train was 22.43 we left venue at 22.20 and was there by 22.35 so not far at all hth

rlThe Blanks tonight.rl

Best gig I've seen by far has to be Foo Fighters in Milton Keynes! Awesome weather, 90,000 fans and Biffy Clyro support. Best And consistent rock band IMO! still smashing out albums after so many years in the industry!

Very good show last night. And the Guinness wasn't bad either.

Me and Digger are planning to go to Manchester and Amsterdam.

I 'want/need' tickets for Manchester. I can't believe they've only arranged one show for UK other than IOW.

got tickets for the isle of wight so well chuffed with this announcement - interesting that they are doing a few festivals now after the sad incident at roskilde all those years ago

saw the lemonheads in sheffield the other night and whilst i enjoyed it, evan dando seemed to be going through the motions a bit - not much said to the audience and rushed through a few songs. that said they played a good set with the whole of the 'shame about ray' album plus some other choice tunes mainly from the 2 albums that followed ray, but also a couple of fan faves as well such as divan and ride with me. no big gay heart or into your arms though

going to london next weekend to see the manic street preachers play all 36 of their singles in one gig at the o2 should be a special night - even though it is in a terrible venue

I had my eye on that. Chose to buy tickets to see Inspiral Carpets at Leadmill next March instead.

Saw them at Leeds Fest in 2006, first festival after Roskilde. Pearl Jam always give a great show, saw them in Manchester in 2009 and it was superb. They'll be ace at IOW.

In Fear of Olive at the Sesh tomorrow night.

Steel panther, Motley Crue and Def Leppard was a good one last night!

Sultans of Ping next unless anything changes before. Would have loved to see Manics at O2 but could not get there.
