Seal, LIVE in Israel!

Seal was here last week, performing at the Ra’anana Amphitheater. Apparently he managed to win the audience over with some frequent personal interaction with the crowd.

Here he is performing My Vision, and the second video is of him dancing with a girl from the crowd. Nice job Seal!

A Seal in Tel Aviv!

90s legend Seal has arrived in Tel Aviv (he’s scheduled to perform at the Ra’naana Amphitheatre, which is just outside Tel Aviv, tomorrow night) and he’s already loaded up a video of his Tel Aviv hotel view - and what a view!

Welcome to Tel Aviv, Seal!

Rod Stewart live in Tel Aviv!

Good old Rod! I guess if his mate Elton can come here and show the world how to do it, there wasn’t much danger of him canceling Thursday night’s Tel Aviv show. Here’s a splash of Baby Jane for you…

The Editors live in Tel Aviv

As some of the bigger names lined up to come and visit Israel fall along the wayside, it’s nice to see some of those great indie bands bucking the trend. Last week saw Placebo get the plaudits, this weekend it was the Editors, who apparently put on a stonkingly good show at Tel Aviv’s Barby Club.

The band further wove themselves into Israel’s heart with some very supportive comments coming on the back of the Pixies canceling. As Tom Smith their frontman put it:

Tonight we played one of the most memorable shows of our career, 1004 people singing their hearts out, 1004 people who hope for peace and resolve wherever the troubles may be, be it on the door step or the other side of the world. Thank you for tonight Tel Aviv, we hope to see you again soon.

Placebo live in Tel Aviv and bucking the trend…

British alternative rockers Placebo bucked the trend this weekend by actually turning up for their show in Tel Aviv. A lot of politics are at play these days, what with the Gaza flotilla story still raging across networks across the world..we ain’t going to go down that slippery road, but we do think Placebo deserve a pat on the back for coming and putting on what many people said was a great show.

As Placebo themselves put it: “Put your hands in the air, wave them like you give a fuck!” - jump to 2.55 to see a rousing finale with Israeli flags a flying and the crowd in glorious wave sync mode!

Rihanna performs “Umbrella” live in Tel Aviv!

Last night’s Rihanna gig in Tel Aviv went down pretty well from what I gather online, so here’s a clip from the show’s encore, her monster hit Umbrella.

“Tel Aviv I love you! I can’t wait to see you again!”

Rihanna hits Tel Aviv tonight!

Rihanna performs in Tel Aviv tonight! The sweet-faced R&B star is bringing her “um-bre-ella” to Tel Aviv’s Bloomfield Stadium, but she won’t need her brolly, it’s a hot one out there today!

Metallica LIVE in Israel - including sound fuckups!

Metallica performed last night to a sell-out crowd in Ramat Gan stadium (just outside Tel Aviv). I’m not a big fan even though I love guitars and large slices of rock, and anyway had a pressing engagement with the Champions League final on TV…

The show was apparently awesome, minus the odd sound screw-up. Here are a couple of clips from the show, just to give you a taste of what you might have missed…
