That will be a special night, The Royal Albert Hall is a truly great venue, saw Alice there at the British Rock Symphony gig and will never forget the first time i went there to see Page, Beck & Clapton when they played the Multiple Sclerosis Benefit which was truly awesome!

Will have to find a boozer in South Kensington showing the Spurs game which is on the same day if I go!

Hey Steven, 2 things we have in common, Alice and The Spurs. Wouldn't worry about The Reading game too much mate, with this AVB twat, we are in deep trouble. Can't believe he's put Bentley, Jenas and Hundredstone in his 25 man Premiership squad. ....and to all the other sickthings, my apologies for goin' off the topic.....COYS !

Got to give the guy a chance mate new system, new players he was a great manager at Porto but couldn't handle the chelscum mafia. Bentley has gone on loan to a Russian club and hopefully will stay there.

There are other Spurs/Alice fans on here one of whom I know will be at the Sunflower jam.

Alice was recently interviewed on Test Match Special and was told about a road sweeper in Gloucester who changed his name by deed poll to Tottenham Alice Cooper!

Good for you! :laugh:

It's really not very expensive for what it is. Montreux now charges more than that for any basic concert :(

One day I shall go to see a concert at the RHA. It must be so beautiful, and it's always a very special experience I bet. I used to watch the Prince's Trust in the 80's and dream of this. Maybe next year.

Wow! To see them all together! I saw them all in the span of one year once, but never together.

Now I want to watch the Joe Bonamassa dvd again :)

This is completely true (although not sure about the road sweeper bit though). Know the guy, have seen him at a lot of shows and even seen his driving license to prove it. Top man.

I don't think Cherry Pie is going now and sadly I will not be there either.

The Page/Beck/Clapton thing was released on home video.

I'm not ashamed to say that when Page played this Chopin Prelude it brought a tear to my eye, he stole the show from Beck & Clapton that night.

Amazing! Jimmy made me cry so many times I lost count. Especially live. He's still my absolute guitar hero.

I think after not telling my pregnant wife I was going to Bloodstock until the morning of the gig I'd be heading for the divorce courts if I pushed my luck on this one especially as she doesn't know about the Raise The Dead tour yet ::((:

Congratulations Steven. I should start preparing to break the news of the Raise The Dead tour, fairly soon! Think of her blood pressure! Good luck. ;)

Yea he's a pretty cool dude... covered in AC badges...on an old denim jacket,n' bald head.. and he does most of the uk shows every tour... don't think he does the Scottish dates.....pretty sure he is a bus driver....
