half the fun of a gig to me now is going somewhere new. i went to New York for AC/DC on my own cos no fucker else could be bothered. and great it was too
I saw Van Halen at Madison Square Garden back in May and part of the appeal was seeing the Big Apple. I was jet lagged, so I woke up at 4am on the sunday morning and went for a 10 mile hike around Manhattan on my own as NYC woke up. Quite a profound experience, in its own little way.
'Halen were great - Ed was sober and played like he was actually into it (I hear bands raise their game for the 'Garden). My gig of the year, followed by Ministry and Martin Carthy.
