I'm not rushing this time. Not sure whether attendance will be as good this time but will await the inevitable availability of good seats closer to the date. Would rather see them in a standing venue again though.

Delighted you enjoyed it Padre. Said it before, this is a purple patch and we should enjoy every minute while it lasts.

Decided to listen to it again tonight as despite the fact I liked it I hadn't played any of it for a while and had forgotten all of it. A bad sign for me.

Re-listened and enjoyed again but less than am hour later I decided to listen to Paranormal in preference. Interesting..

Absolutely with you there! I live, we all do, in a world where too many people are critics, ready to jump on a perceived or actual flaw as a reason to justify their particular negative viewpoint on things and too often with that (preserved for the ageing population) view that "it" (whatever it is) w...

There's something about the one with Alice on the right of the picture and the mask walking past to the left in the background..

I think that "fandom" withers with age. I know mine has also fallen off. It's not because of anything Alice did or did not do, change of musical direction, etc. I think that as we age the trivial things in life become--well more trivial! I used to have to have everything Alice related--albums, 45s,...

Could Your Momma Won't Like Me be added to Alice s cross dressing songs? Chinn and Chapman certainly didn't have it in mind for a guy!

How about a full Chinn and Chapman covers album?? Think of the twists he could put into Little Willy, Tiger Feet or the classic Living next door to Alice..

I'm sure he would love to see far more people jumping around at gigs but even Alice knows that you need to be young to have a young audience. How many acts in their 70s don't have an audience where 80%+ have grown up with them and are therefore considerably more subdued at gigs and set in their view...

Thanks, I was at the same hotel and had a decline on my card but have checked now and it's ok. Agree with you on the snagging issues. Had a couple of gripes for the venue and the hotel that frustrated me a bit. Advertising the hotel as "adjoining the venue" and "providing immediate access" should ha...

Seemed to be an argument before the show started with row A people being less the happy with a row AA in front of them and staff were giving mixed messages which didn't help. I was in block A to the side but on the row behind the disabled and a staff member suggested I get my kids noticed by Alice,...

Yes, a great night. Chris White did a great job as well. Hadn't expected to see him but he fitted in well.

Tripped over this when checking out the venue for Aberdeen. Brief and a bit random but thought I'd share. About 2:10 - 3:00 into the clip https://youtu.be/QCP6EA6aYu8

My Aberdeen tickets came through about three weeks ago, earlier than expected so avoided the panic period of the last week or so before the gig.

I'll be in Aberdeen and unless tied to the seat by security I'll be standing..no doubt.

Re a new album. breadcrumbs posters at the Paris gig say to look out for the new album in 2020..

Absolutely right. I've mistakenly thought it was BSR since booking the tickets and telling my wife she was getting to see Scott Gorham for the first time in 30 yrs. Still getting it wrong with a hangover this morning... Still, a great show.

Paris last night. Great crowd of over 5000 in a good venue and a fantastic atnosphere with most standing. I'm Back was a real hit but to be fair everything went well including My Stars was but Bed of Nails went down a storm, just behind Dead Babies, Poison and Schools Out. Black Star Riders supporte...

Interesting to read the comments re Detroit. From my perspective 20/20 just keeps getting stronger to the point that I'd be delighted if he applied the same level of re-invention to an ACAS track. Would surely be an interesting outcome.

Personally, I'd swap the Vampires albums but apart from that I'd agree overall. You could widen this out a bit and reflect on a pretty productive period overall - all the other side projects such as Jesus Christ Superstar and Peter and the Wolf and guesting on other acts work, the ongoing work for S...

Paris next Friday...can't wait.
