Well we certainly know there's unreleased material such as Blue Minute on the Unloved Songs bootleg. I would think Elvis has got tons of recorded stuff that hasn't been released yet. I bet there are a good half a dozen songs per album that haven't been released.

Having looked at the additional Euro dates it seems clear that Elvis 'n co. will not be playing Ireland or Montreux........so it's The Tower for me . I've just booked cheap flights for London, getting there on Fri. July 6 , returning to Dublin on Mon. the 9th. Look forward to seeing you for a beer ...

If the North Sea Jazz festival is with Allen Toussaint I'll give it a miss - the only reason for this being that I'll see him in London the week before and I can't see that the set list will vary that much.

Tickets were priced £45, £55 and £65. I opted for the £65 and with those lovely charges the total cost of the ticket came to £73.

Beyond Belief was a fantastic magazine. I'm not sure I'd agree that the webbernet took over its function though. I miss it. I know what Mike means about the obsession though - although with respect to some of Beyond Belief's contributors I was not in the same league (and had no desire to be!!!). I f...

Well I am a Man U supporter now. In 1992 I supported Man U for a couple of seasons and then fancied a change so I picked a team out of the hat which, would you believe, was Blackburn rovers. I thought that was a bit mercenary so I switched my allegiance back to Man U. Anyway in 1998 I wanted to foll...

Otis/Jackson - Have I missed out on a Board party or one of your vol-au-vent parties?

I bought tickets having read they were already on sale at Ticketmaster. I glanced at Seetickets just after 9am and could have got tickets in Block A Row K.

I'm mad at myself.

I agree - and let's not forget songs from The Delivery Man which have not been released such as Unwanted Number.

Believe me, there's plenty left in the vaults.

I got two seats in block A row U.

I can't get excited about this at the moment. It's probably because it's cost me £73 and I daresay the seats won't be that close to the stage.

John - from following the link it would appear that you got a cheaper rate. The dinner package is £250 and the champagne and canape package is a mere £220. And what's more the price excludes VAT at 17.5%. Still cheap at twice the price though! :lol: The setting looks beautiful but it's going to be...

Having welcomed Spring yesterday it has started snowing here although it is a pretty feeble attempt.
