Re: Burt Bacharach RIP

:( So sad. I saw him once in Australia about 12 years ago and it was like listening to the history of popular music. Of course God Give Me Strength was part of the setlist and in was a mesmerising night.
I so wish I had seen him and Elvis on stage together

Re: London meet up - Saturday 21 January 2023

I must try and get to one of these. As it turns out I was in London all day yesterday but I went to see the Unfriend comedy play matinee at Piccadilly, followed closely by Micky Flanagan’s comedy warm up show in Leicester Square and rounded off by Peter Kay at the O2. Nearly 7 hours of comedy with l...

Re: Terry Hall RIP

I loved the whole ska revival and went to see the 2 Tone tour in Leicester. The bill was the Specials, Madness and Selecter. An amazing gig and I managed to sneak backstage afterwards. We were welcomed like long lost mates into a big room were all the bands were having a party. It was a great night ...

Re: Elvis In Iceland with Steve Nieve and Special Guest, Nick Lowe, May 25-29, 2023

I'm in! I presumably will have travelled the furthest to get there (from Australia). Doing it on a round-the-world ticket I was very tempted by Iceland. I’ve been before and it’s an amazing country but I can’t justify the cost after paying out for a trip to New York for four nights at the Gramercy ...

Just bought a ticket for the 17th through the Elvis pre-sale and it cost $178 for Floor Row E. The same row is showing as $414 on Live Nation.

Re: 10 NIGHTS AT THE GRAMERCY NYC FEB 2023

I just checked the other dates I bought and if I had waited for the EC Pre-sale I would have saved $500 over the three nights.

Oh well.

On the plus side, I've got my Virgin Atlantic voucher for the cancelled Las Vegas show so getting to New York is covered.

OK, so I got tickets on the floor for 16th, 19th and 20th. Bloody expensive but I knew it would be. Now, the thing is tickets for the 17th are even more expensive, $414 compared to around $300 for the other dates. Is it worth waiting until the presale tomorrow to get a Loge seat?

It doesn't say who the pre-sale is aimed at. Is it anyone or do you need a pass code or hold a certain card? I am not greatly astute at these pre-sale regs myself...but I think they are stating CITICARD holders for today. CITIBANK is a local NYC banking conglomerate which apparently issues their ow...

I'm thinking 16th/17th and 19th/20th. Thats gives me a night off to see another gig. Any idea of ticket prices? It won’t happen for me but it would have to be all 10 - you’ll hear 200 different songs and I can bet we’ll be talking about the ones he didn’t play. I would love to do all 10 but I alrea...

I’m definitely interested in this. I did feel slightly underwhelmed by the UK tour, as others have said. I enjoyed it but it never really fired me up. Maybe I was hoping for too much.

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Massey Hall, Toronto, ON, Canada August 8th, 2022

At Pearson Airport heading home after a brilliant long weekend in Toronto.. Obviously the highlight was the Elvis gig. I saw three dates on the UK leg and this was easily better than any of them. As much as enjoyed Ian Prowse opening, Nick is another level. I was in the end seat, front row of the ba...
