Quad5point1 22nd Nov 2018		Live Music Jeff Lynne's ELO @ The SSE Arena (2018)	It was a fantastic night, the only other song they could've played to make it special for me would've been "Here Is The News"
Quad5point1 11th Jul 2018		Live Music Jeff Lynne's ELO @ The SSE Arena (2018)	Venue now called The SSE Arena was once known as The Odyssey Arena, should they be linked?
Quad5point1 15th Oct 2016		Live Music Alison Krauss And Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas @ Belfast Waterfront (2011)	Absolutely superb concert from start to finish. Favourite track from the night would have to be Ghost in This House
Quad5point1 15th Oct 2016		Live Music Jethro Tull @ Belfast Waterfront (2011)	Although billed as Jethro Tull it should really have been Ian Anderson as he was the only person on stage all night. It got a tad boring for my liking and I left after he played Thick As A Brick at the start of the second set
Quad5point1 15th Oct 2016		Live Music Deep Purple @ St George's Market (2010)	Originally scheduled as an outdoor concert at Custom House Square in Belfast it was moved indoors to St Georges Market due to weather conditions. St Georges Market has a very low ceiling and isn't very big and the band played at Spinal Tap levels. I had to plug my ears it was so loud and eventually ended up in the street to get away from the noise. A totally ruined night because of the volume levels and I've had tinitus ever since.
Quad5point1 14th Oct 2016		Live Music Journey @ Odyssey Arena (2013)	Only went to this gig to see Thunder. As soon as Thunder finished I was heading for the door but my wife wanted to see what the other acts were like. After sitting through Whitesnake with an aging adolescent singer (Coverdale) I just wanted to leave. All he could do was strut round the stage clutching his crotch, I think he did this in order to hit the high notes :-)
Quad5point1 23rd Mar 2015		Live Music David Gates And Bread @ Belfast Waterfront (1997)	I don't think I've sat through a concert with my jaw on the floor before, but this night was an exception. It was a last minute purchase (actually 2 hrs before the gig) because my wife wanted to see them. Tickets bought, rushed to the Waterfront, took our seats and got absolutely blown away. These guys were so good, so professional and just pretty damned perfect. I always hoped that someday I would see them again but I don't think that will ever happen. Score out of 10, if I could I would give it a 100. Fantastic !!!
Quad5point1 23rd Mar 2015		Live Music Crash Test Dummies @ Ulster Hall (1994)	This was a "Spur Of The Moment" purchase just for somewhere to go, but boy was I surprised. This had to be one of the best concerts I'd seen up to that date. Musically it was perfect, Brad Roberts was in cracking form and had me laughing loudly. The band were superb musicians and Ellen Reid, as well as being a superb musician & vocalist was looking Ab Fab. They also covered tracks from their album "The Ghost That Haunts Me Now" which I hadn't heard before, but remedied by ordering it the next day. All In All, an extremely enjoyable evening and a new album to listen to, in fact, still two of my favorite albums.
