Re: Don't Blow Your Mind: The Mascot Sessions

Thanks, Dennis, for another thorough and fascinating answer.

Sounds like the release had the potential for being even better than it is, but it's still a great historical document in many ways and I personally really love that period of the band.

Don't Blow Your Mind: The Mascot Sessions

Hey Dennis, I've been enjoying this release and sincerely hope you got a complimentary copy, especially since you're credited for helping them out with background information. Is there anything in particular you can suggest we listen out for, or any extra anecdote you'd care to share about those rec...

Re: UK Dates 2024

He sells between 6,000 and 8,000 in Glasgow usually. Armadillo is 3,000 so I guess it’s been about maximising income. He’s around 4,500 at the moment and possibly heading for 5,500 so an easy sellout at the Armadillo but less profit for one night’s work? Two night’s time and cost possibly too much ...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March

I was lucky enough to have my preordered copy turn up today.

I don't think anyone who has made the investment will be disappointed. The original album sounds great, with the bass being every bit as full and prominent as promised.

Re: UK Dates 2024

I'm a need and keep an eye on ticket sales where I can when Alice tours. Can't see Birminghams stats but Manchester and Leeds seem to be up to the same level as the last tour so far. Surprised London hasn't sold out yet particularly given its all seated and some folk will do both nights. The bad on...

Re: Alice UK presale 10am tomorrow

As a matter of interest i got good tickets for Leeds and London on the Wednesday pre sale, but also had a look today on the main sale and the tickets weren’t as good, so pre sale still a better option than waiting until main sale. I don't think you can say that is *always* true. It seems very rando...

Re: Alice UK presale 10am tomorrow

I know someone with access to the OVO presale for the Glasgow Hydro on Ticketmaster yesterday and they told me that they got nothing but the wheel. Had to use a different presale. There were issues with the AEG/AXS presale yesterday with stuck loading screens, and also if you did get in and you did...

Re: Alice UK presale 10am tomorrow

I don't know in the UK but here in the United States, ticketmaster will now change prices depending on the day and an hour. You may buy a set in the 15th row for 200 dollars and the person sitting next to you paid a 100. Unless a show is in danger of a quick sell-out, there really is not a lot of a...

Re: Alice UK presale 10am tomorrow

Sounds like there were a lot of decent seats up for grabs for a change. No such joy at the Glasgow Hydro, which always seems to have vast amounts of the more forward rows tied up with different suppliers. It's going to be interesting to see how many Primal Scream fans show up, as I doubt many of the...

Re: UK Dates 2024

Looking forward to the ticket fun. No doubt with the usual 800 different outlets and multiple presales, none of the latter having particularly good tickets.

I'm far from enthusiastic about Primal Scream.

I'll still be going along though.

Re: Alice Songs That Went Over Well Live but Are Rarely Played

It's long been said that the band want to do Yeah Yeah Yeah , which was only ever done on the Killer tour. Alice indulging in the harmonica during live shows again makes this the perfect time to resurrect it. I heartily agree with Si that Black Juju and Inmates (Were All Crazy) are long overdue a li...

Avant-garde Music

Hey Dennis, You've spoken in the past of your love for avant-garde music and how passionate you were about it in the early days of the band. Do you still listen to that type of music on a regular basis? Do you ever find yourself writing music along those lines anymore? And, say somebody with a bunch...

Re: BSB 50th anniversary 2cd / 3 lp out in March

I've got two vinyl copies of Billion Dollar Babies, but none of the more recent reissues.

And I've got the deluxe CD.

Still might go for this. Will need to think it over.

Re: Empire Pool (Wembley) 1972 Setlist

I agree that setlist.fm is very handy, but it's also true that it can be wildly inaccurate in places. I've seen setlists from gigs I was at that aren't much more than 50% correct. I was reluctant to ask Dennis because it's a big ask for him to remember specific setlists from 50+ years ago. I suppose...

Empire Pool (Wembley) 1972 Setlist

I don't suppose anybody on here happens to know for certain what the setlist was for this gig? It was officially the end of the Killer tour and should have had the same set from around that time, but I've seen at least one claim that Gutter Cat was performed that night, which might be possible due t...
