点评:Just been to see Buzzcocks at The Forum. If you want to see a favourite band up close and intimate and get a sweat on then it's a great venue. It holds around 200 people at a squeeze but seems to be very well run with a very easy to access bar and no problems getting in and out. Plenty of parking within a couple of minutes walk. Basic decor yes but decent acoustics which let's face it, is the most important thing.
Buzzcocks were excellent fun and this was a perfect setting. A bouncing, enthusiastic crowd and everyone enjoying themselves. With the sad passing of Pete Shelley, Mr Diggle has picked up the vocal baton and while he doesn't have the same range, his enthusiasm and the tight band made it a great night. So many hits too. Left with my ears ringing but fantastic to see a local venue doing so well after so many years and all power to them.
Personal highlights: Ever Fallen In Love (obviously!), I Don't Mind, Love You More, Autonomy, What Do I Get, Why Can' I Touch It and the elongated sing-along Harmony In My Head.
Sidenote: For those who haven't kept up with Buzzcocks, I would strongly recommend listening to the recent Sonics In The Soul album and especially "Manchester Rain" - right up there with a lot of their earlier tracks.
翻译:刚刚去 The Forum 看了 Buzzcocks 的演出。如果你想近距离观看一支最喜欢的乐队并大汗淋漓,那么这里是个不错的场地。它最多可容纳 200 人,但似乎管理得很好,酒吧非常方便,进出没有问题。步行几分钟内有很多停车位。装饰简单,但音响效果不错,说实话,这是最重要的。
Buzzcocks 非常有趣,这是一个完美的环境。人群充满活力、热情洋溢,每个人都玩得很开心。随着 Pete Shelley 的不幸离世,Mr Diggle 接过了歌唱的接力棒,虽然他的音域不如以前,但他的热情和紧密的乐队让这个夜晚变得非常棒。还有这么多热门歌曲。离开时我的耳朵嗡嗡作响,但很高兴看到当地一家场地在这么多年后仍然表现良好,他们全力以赴。
个人亮点:Ever Fallen In Love(当然!)、I Don't Mind、Love You More、Autonomy、What Do I Get、Why Can' I Touch It 和长时间的合唱歌曲 Harmony In My Head。
旁注:对于那些还没有关注 Buzzcocks 的人,我强烈建议听听最近的 Sonics In The Soul 专辑,尤其是“Manchester Rain”——和他们之前的许多曲目一样好。
