waitingmanOh dear... it's official. I must be getting old.
I bought 2 concert DVDs last weekend ~ David Gilmour - Remember That Night & Peter Gabriel - Still Growing Up. A pair of performers who've been around since the late 60s/early 70s who, in my not-so-humble opinion, blow away just about every act from the last 10 years (at least!!) when it comes to musicianship, presentation, integrity & professionalism.
Even Nine Inch Nails at the Hordern last month (which was pretty f@%!ing good!!) wasn't as transcendent as these 2 guys shows ~ just on DVD!! The Tori Amos show at the Opera House last week was the closest modern equivalent I can think of...
At least I know I'm not turning into my father ~ he hates Peter Gabriel!!
