I know not everyone likes them but i have seen a few good 'uns,probably one of the best places in Leeds to see them is the New Roscoe,last night i went down to see Crowded Out,they were excellant,the singer even with a heavy cold was superb, didn't really look much like Neil Finn but shut your eyes and he sounded mightily like him,the odd song i didn't know but the rest was like a greatest hits selection,what a lot of good stuff he has wrote,for me 3 classics,Weather With You,Four Seasons in One Day and Don't Dream its Over,and to top it off they finished off with I Got You,the Split Enz big hit ,i loved that when it came out,as some will know Split Enz was their band before going on to become Crowded House or something along those lines,anyway a cracking night was had even tho i went in the Car so nursed a couple of shandies all night. :shock:

seen THE BOOTLEG BEATLES about 10 times, its probably the closest you would ever get to the real thing, i've always had a brilliant time at their shows probably coz they tour mostly at xmas time (near my birthday)
check out the link below.

I've seen the Jamm a few times always great value for money and they went above and beyond to sound like the real deal. Always a great night out.

you can have a listen her to some of their live versions. I was too young to get to see the Jam but got in to PW and all that stuff through an older cousin, got all the albums and a load of live bootlegs and these boys are spot on. They play everywhere practicly gigging 365 days a year so they'll be playing your way soon , don't miss em.

saw the australians doors a few years ago in a small venue. really bad vibe in the room. a couple of wasted pricks pushin about didn't help. too many doped up morrison impressions, should have let the music do the work. guitarist and keyboard players cocked up in songs, so i left early, really disappointed. i hope they were just out of sorts that night and are better than that.
i really wanted to take the my 3 boys to bootleg beatles but cost too much, so thought i'd blag a quick look through the doors with the 4 year old who's mad for them, waited till the foyer was empty and just walked in. when the lovely ladies at cambridge corn exchanged saw littl'un they took us up to the mezzanine and watch them perform 5 songs. son beemed through the 15 minutes, went for a wee then left singing all the way home, yeah yeah yeah
well worth the entrance fee!
