Howard,

You must be gutted man?

I am, and i couldn't go if i wanted too?

Mail Adrian and ask him for that site that re- sells tickets in the middle of the night?

He is shit hot at finding great seats at 2 in the morning.

Just keep the dates free.

You should be able to pick a couple up.

Stu.

That's what becomes of being a tight arse, and not joining his "fan" club" *. As if £82.50 + postage wasn't enough.


* Only another £30 to the already expensive (IMO) ticket prices.


At least PT gave you a CD with their membership.

No Porcupine Tree tour this year but Steven Wilson is touring. Go see him. I thought the show I saw last year was much better than my recent Porcupine Tree experiences. Lots of King Crimson jazz influence in the show and an exciting bunch of talented musicians.

Lontano,

 

Looking at your gig list, I thought I'd add some of mine to the thread, albeit slightly belatedly.

 

Saw KC & JH last night at the Norwich Arts Centre - excellent (and sold out).

Diamond Mine in its entirety and a great rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's Only Living Boy in New York to finish. You should enjoy the Brighton gig.

 

And looking forward to seeing Steve Hackett later in the month at the UEA, Norwich. Should be good - he normally is. You can't beat a bit of Firth of Fifth!!!

 

Enjoy them both

Tony - thanks for the encouraging update. I am looking forward to it, especially as it is on a Saturday, so a little music shopping, fine dining and a show. 

 

I always enjoy Hackett and with his superb current band, including Nick Beggs in a small venue, it is a super night out.

 

Cheers

Ryan Adams - 23rd Apr.

Bruce Springsteen Hyde Park.

Unfortunately, I can't see much else on the horizon that gets me anywhere near excited.

(Apart from Sunday's Superbowl!)

Not wanting to disappoint, I don't believe that Nick Beggs is playing with Steve Hackett on this tour (his website lists Lee Pomeroy instead). Saw Nick play on two previous occasions and his Chapman Stick solo was one of the highlights for me - about time to start a thread about this intriguing instrument me thinks.

 

Enjoy all the same.

That's a shame but it will still be brilliant - well looks like Kim Wilde and Steven Wilson take priority. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this Lee Pomeroy chap compares. Now will they keep Shadow of the Hierophant in the setlist?

Posted on: 03 February 2012 by winkyincanada

Kim Wilde? The "Kids in America" Kim Wilde? There's a blast from the past!

Posted on: 03 February 2012 by winkyincanada

Also seeing Elvis Costello in Vancouver.

Rumor has it that Roger Waters will bring The Wall back to Boston in July, at Fenway Park, our baseball stadium that is celebrating its 100th year this year.  Fenway has a very unique wall of it's own -- a 37 foot high wall in left field nicknamed "the Green Monster."  Summer rock concerts returned to Fenway Park a few years ago, and they have been doing one each summer. Although I've seen this show a couple of times already, seeing it outside at this venue would be a treat.
