Well,what can I say? Magnificent gig.Highlight for me was "Home Truth".Pretty sure it's the first time EC has played it on this tour.Good audience response despite the reluctance of many to get off their backsides for Peace,Love and Understanding.Can't wait for Leicester week tomorrow.

I don't think it was a Jazz crowd.Stuffy classical music types perhaps.I recall EC walking onto the stage at some point during the concert and no one applauded.Classical music etiquette methinks.He did a cracking version of "Shipbuiding" though.

Sadly, I reckon there will be lots of empty seats on Sunday night.I've been to every EC gig at the Concert Hall since he played there with John Harle in 1996 and it's never a sell out,even when he's got a record to plug.Tier 3 is always completely empty.

I will be there.Never miss a home town gig.4 of us in row C.

Thanks to the good people at The Ticket Factory and their pre-sale,managed to bag Row C tickets for Nottingham & Weller at Warwick Arts Centre.Time to be happy today & fret about the credit card bill tomorrow.Somewhat surprised that EC tickets more expensive than Weller's though.Old man Step...

Mrs Pars and myself are going.Will be celebrating our wedding anniversary on the day of the gig.Got tickets in the centre circle Row G.Last saw EC at this venue on the "North" tour although I don't recall much about the concert save for a moving version of "Still" and spotting Al...

"Wise Up Ghost" vinyl edition now available as a pre-order item on Amazon UK.Surprisingly,the price is quite reasonable at £16.63.Sadly,it doesn't come with a free CD.Managed to pre-order the deluxe CD at £9.99 though so not too bad.

Damn! Amazon UK also out of stock.On the bright side, demand exceeding supply suggests the release has been a success which,hopefully, may lead to further vinyl editions.

Tried to resist acquiring my third edition of this wonderful album but failed miserably.£13.99 from amazon.uk....ok,I had a £10 gift certificate.Fond memories of the "Brutal Youth" tour.Saw EC & The Attractions at Albert Hall & Wolverhampton Civic Hall.Enjoyment of these gigs only ...

I was enjoying myself too much to make a note of the songs played but EC did NOT play the following: Accidents Will Happen Hope You're Happy Now Turpentine Song With Rose Cry Cry Cry Bedlam Monkey To Man Suit Of Lights Stella Hurt In addition to the other songs on the setlist he played: Blame It On ...

Special show for a number of reasons.First time in over 30 years that I have seen EC play outdoors.My 17 year old and 15 year old were at their first EC gig and loved it.Superb weather.We were right at the front.Enthusiastic crowd around us but can't speak for the picnic hamper/deck chair crowd behi...

Weather's looking mighty fine for Thetford on Saturday.Not a fan of outdoor gigs usually but looking forward to this one.17 year old and 15 year old seeing EC for the first time too.

Very much looking forward to it.We have tickets in the stalls,4th row.Decent venue with plenty of pubs nearby.Sadly,only seeing two EC gigs on this tour although the other one is at Thetford Forest.Never seen EC play outdoors before.Praying for good quality weather and good quality sound.
