I can only really see Alice doing one (maybe two at the most) big tour and then doing the odd show/short tour after that. As you said, he'll be 64 by the time the next tour starts and he likes to get to as many places as possible so will easily be on tour for over a year at least to get round everyw...

Yeah, but your example IS different sound guys as two different bands, so you aren`t talking the same thing. If its the same sound guy at two different shows, the acoustics are likely to blame. Two different sound guys/equipment and you can`t say that for sure. Well I suppose a better example in te...

Its the same sound guy at every show. It's the room acoustics that make ALL the difference in the world. Most venues are simply not designed for good music sound, easpecially Arenas and large halls, and the Sound guy fights for a good sound every night which what he has to work with. Some places it...

ALice UK tickets are generally all the same price EXCEPT London which is slightly more. If you buy through AC.com the extras are all the same as well. Didn't realise it was different to book through the AC site to booking through the venue. Will have to do that in future if it works out cheaper lol

Good to hear you enjoyed the show. As for the sound it must just be a really crap sound engineer as it was excellent when I saw the show (Birmingham).

Good point re cost hywelkidd (with hotel cost)..does your techie friend not have access to tv or internet if he doesnt realise AC still about?Have you checked techie still alive..lol.. Re the tickets did you pay 60 notes for each one?..I do know what you meant about travel and accom..I paid maybe 7...

To be honest, I don't mind people downloading a few songs if they end up buying the albums afterwards. What I can't stand is people who download whole albums :nono: After all, money is tight for a lot of people these days (including myself). I never buy albums based on the quality of the single(s) s...

If the two Alice shows I've been two are typical size audiences he usually draws these days then there's no chance of him doing an arena tour (at least not in the UK) as both times (in relatively small venues) there were about a quarter of the seats empty, which really is a shame to see with a legen...
