EC in Denmark again and again ...and again

VonOfterdingen · Post by **VonOfterdingen** » Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:30 am

After the great concert in Copenhagen in January, EC is returning to Denmark three times in 2005. He plays Tivoli sometime in the summer - a strange venue since it's a free koncert in the amusement park. Very popular and mainstream but maybe he wants to be known by every Dane before doing the H. C. Andersen thing in October.
On top of this he is now playing an expensive concert at the music theatre in Vejle the fourth of June.
I feel lucky indeed

Do you know if he is playing with the Imposters? Or could this been the try-out for his new Andersen opera?

It seems like it's with The Imposters in June. It's says "EC and his band"

Vejre seems a bit far and hard to get back from for me, being from the other side of the strait. Only possibility I see is getting a carpool together - any Swedanes up for it?

Really looking forward to hearing The Comedians at the Tivoli!

YES! I'll be at Tivoli but think I'll bypass a trip to Jutland. That gig is very small with dinner served. They were trying to advertise it in the paper as "the man who worked with Paul McCartney and Bachrach" so I expect it will be a bunch of old farts at the show eating dinner and not getting into the music.

King Hoarse · Post by **King Hoarse** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 4:01 am

So why not go and be the foxes in that henhouse?

The Copenhagen show was sold out, so there's gotta be a few "real" fans there, right?

Also, very small means very good to me. (venue)

+ one of those days might be good for that EC jam session? (Possession video flashback)

Hoarse...hmmmm OK. Geeks ruin my Costello shows, but maybe if we band us together and fight the geekdom together with VON maybe we'll have a blast. AND I'll jam anytime...........although I've been jamming Warren Zevon constantly.......I need somebody who's into Elvis.

Where did you read about the dinner included Cope? I wanna go and was just about to order a ticket but I don't wanna eat alone with posh people

I was wondering about that price

King Hoarse · Post by **King Hoarse** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 4:18 am

So if we go as a small mob and somehow liquify that dinner...

Your thoughts on EC jamming/howling, VON?

And should we book us a center stage table (to dance on) if those are available?

I played rythm guitar in school but that's to long ago to catch up upon.

Im going to that concert though. There's a direct trainline from Copenhagen til Vejle. Proberly around 320 dkr each way and takes 2½ hour.

King Hoarse · Post by **King Hoarse** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 4:36 am

So you're not in on the carpooling then? Do you know anything about seats - tables, standing, etc? (My Danish is pretty effing far from OK.)

VonOfterdingen · Post by **VonOfterdingen** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 4:46 am

Carpooling is also fine - just need a car.
It's all seating and late last night tickets were on ground floor in front of the scene in the middle of row 9.
But i think they are going pretty fast. It's a three course menu

King Hoarse · Post by **King Hoarse** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 5:01 am

I just checked the page again and it looks like dinner is optional in the restaurant before the show, and then it's a regular gig, albeit seated, right?

I just got a ticket on row 5 through billetnet, but it says seat 24 so I guess it's far from center.

So what about howling?

Car is no problem, except that it's more expensive to drive it across the bridge from here to Copenhagen. Cope?

VonOfterdingen · Post by **VonOfterdingen** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 5:07 am

Where did you read about the dinner, King H?

Copenhagen Fan · Post by **Copenhagen Fan** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 6:17 am

I'd be game to destroy that dinner

I have no car either...sounds like a train gig.

VON how much is the show?

I have to ask my girlfriend if I can have permission to attend before I can make a commitment *ha ha* serious.......

VonOfterdingen · Post by **VonOfterdingen** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 6:33 am

535 - 580 ,- i think. Not cheap - but it's a three course dinner. Guess that's included

VonOfterdingen · Post by **VonOfterdingen** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 9:08 am

Nope - dinner is not included. I called Musikteatret,Vejle up and they had not heard anything about a dinner. Who read about the dinner and where?

King Hoarse · Post by **King Hoarse** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 9:35 am

I checked the venue's homepage first. That said something to the effect that traditionally a three course dinner is included in the ticket for theatre shows, but I guess that means drama rather than rock concerts. I could be mistaken, because like I said, my Danish pretty much sucks.

But my ticket says :
"Spis i Musikteatrets Restaurant Noden för forestillingen.
2 retter kr.218-, 3 retter kr. 238-
Bordbestil. nödvendig" etc.

So that's gotta be on top of the 595 Danish (800 Swedish! That's well over $100) I paid for the ticket. Not cheap indeed. But who needs that in the country of pilsner & pölse?

I'm pretty sure I can borrow my dad's car for the drive, which will be cheaper than train tickets + hostel. And I like road trips.

VonOfterdingen · Post by **VonOfterdingen** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 9:58 am

alright. I'll go for the ticket only. I hope you don't have to eat in the restaurant if one want to see EC play.

Chrille · Post by **Chrille** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 11:31 am

Would've been nice to go, but man that's just too expensive.

King Hoarse · Post by **King Hoarse** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 12:47 pm

Speaking of Danish gigs - my punk band just got an offer to play at a place called The Rock in Copenhagen in May (after our two week stint through Western Europe minus the UK in April). Does anyone know the place at all, and if so, any good? (another jam opportunity, b.t.w., Cope)

Till Chrille: Jag hade inte ens funderat på att gå om jag inte precis förbannat mig själv för att jag åker över för sällan när jag nu ändå bor i Malmö. Han kommer ju garanterat till Cirkus inom en ganska överskådlig framtid ändå, så du lär ju inte behöva vänta för länge. Då kan vi kanske samla ihop en nordostbunden bil istället.

VonOfterdingen · Post by **VonOfterdingen** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 5:20 am

The Rock is a new place. I have not been there but most of the bands so far were cover-bands.

I got three tickets on row 5 in the middle for the concert in Vejle

Copenhagen Fan · Post by **Copenhagen Fan** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 9:26 am

I'm not dragging my sorry ass over to Vejle for the DIN DIN gig, I've decided. I'll just see EC in Tivoli. I've seen EC 4 times in the last two years, and he's playing all the same stuff all the time. I'l settle for Tivoli. HOARSE I WILL GO TO YOUR GIG at the Rock. Send me details.
