    they might just especially massive around where I live, though, as I got to school in their hometown of Wakefield.


    Wow you were totally right about the Cribs. What an amazing gig! They had such a high energy and loud sound. My ears were still ringing about an hour after the concert. The concert venue only held about 300-400 people at most and it was pretty packed, but the audience was pretty lame. A few head boppers/ swayers and hardly modeled the energy that the Cribs were showing.

  10. took the old man to see Bryan Adams the other week on his Bare Bones tour. Barely no stage setup, acoustic guitar, Bryan and occasional help on the piano. Sure most of the songs seems to be the exact same but he was pretty darn good.
  11. U2 - 1x
    Iron Maiden - 1x
    and lots of shows of czech bands ...
