I agree with you, John. I think this is the new normal for a good while and people are going to need to get their heads around it. Looking at wiki, it's saying the Herd Immunity Threshold for Covid19 is between 29 to 74% of the population.  I recall the British saying they needed around 60% to achieve herd immunity when they were sitting on their holes not taking action. That's at least 1,500,000 people in Ireland alone, just to get to 30%. We're officially at 15,652 people infected as of today. There's obviously more to it but it doesn't look like anything is going to happen for a long, long time.

Enjoyed that, even though I don't know their music at all.

Is that Chief Spires or Vesano? They look similar. I remember this being on but was only getting into them.

Spires

I remember hearing it was him but wasn't sure looking at that vid.

I must have missed that gig.  I saw the one with Sinister and Gorerotted. Ferocious gig!

That was the one with Vesano,brilliant gig,probably Niles best front man!

Odds on Brutal Assault? Going stir crazy here looking up ticket prices. I imagine flying to it won't be a problem come August, but the line up might be gutted of a few top acts. Who knows. I'm creaming myself looking at it, though, as a potential post lockdown bash  :-\

I saw them in '03 with Vesano and it was Misery Index and Dew Scented supporting.

I have a ticket for it myself but pretty much resigned to it not going ahead. Would be shit too if it went ahead without certain acts.

There have been some vid updates from the organisers but not sure they give any useful info yet.

I've a ticket for Bloodstock and I'm just waiting for the cancellation announcement at this point. Surely with so many fests pulling the plug on this summer already it's not going to be worth it for any bands to make the effort with so many off days

Aye was at that. Really enjoyed misery index that night.

I do miss having gigs to look forward to in general. I know it's a very minor thing in view of the larger picture at the moment and I understand the very real risks to our health at this time. It's just that it makes getting through a monotonous day or week that much tougher without the carrot on a stick.
In lieu of that I'm making an effort to make all of the little things (cooking, music, going for a stroll or reading) a bit more pleasurable through proper attention and focus.
Please don't take this as me belittling the impact to individuals, family and society of the virus. I've had family members with the virus and I know others on here have too.
Tl, Dr, I miss gigs
