I think this is a good idea, although I'm not a frequent concert go-er, usually about once a month - just depends on who comes to Belfast/Dublin and when.
Can I just boast then about the really good Biffy Clyro concert I was at on Sunday? Smallish venue and sold out for months. I'm not a huge fan but had heard they were pretty good live so 3 of us went. Just a great rock concert - very little chat just lots of songs played with gusto and a nice acoustic session half way through. Played for a good two hours. Have been listening to some studio albums by the band since and they are positively dull by comparison.
Funnily enough the venue is part of the Queens University Student Union and was the first time I've been back there since graduating. I was reminising that I use to attend Terry Hooley's Reggae Discos (!) every Tuesday night in the same hall when I was a student - so good music - good memories and good friends!
