Re: Spare tickets for Sunday

[Richard Wright <wright@se...com>]

What was especially good was grabbing ten minutes with Rodney after the 
gig as he was tidying his kit away. I first saw them at Liverpool Royal 
Court on that R.E.M. tour in ‘89 I’d completely forgotten that it was not 
long after Hillsborough and Stipe , who was unaware of the implications, 
made a point of stopping a crush at the front of the stage. Rodney said 
there was an earie silence as the crowd pulled itself back into shape 
before the band started up again. BA were inspiring  that night and I 
rushed out to get Swagger as soon as I could. Meeting Rodney and Gerard 30 
years later after a lifetime in between was just great. Gerard said that 
the new LP is complete but he’s restless and wants to tweak a few things 
now some of the tracks have been played live.

Some astute observations from Gordon, but then I would expect no less.

The conversation has certainly become more sporadic over the years, but 
it's always nice to have the opportunity to keep in touch when the mood 
takes.  Hopefully a new lp next year might spark a bit more interaction?

In the meantime, there was a terrific turnout on Sunday - great to see 
everyone again and apologies to anyone I may I have missed.  A terrific 
set too.  Nice to hear Colour Me again - always a favourite of mine.

Ah...! There is life in the old dog yet !

Conversations on the drive out from London yesterday to the effect that 
this, Steve Thomas's 'Discussion List', seems to have fallen victim to 
many forces too many to guess at, but facebook, whatsapp, snapchat, 
depravity, inactivity, boredom, age or maturity, alcohol, elections, 
Christmas, choosing George Best's greatest goal or choosing the next 
timber finish to yet another £10,000 kitchen makeover must surely be 
amongst them, perhaps.

We reflected that but for this List, we would not have been driving out to 
Bristol again yesterday anyway, because we would not have known each 
other, the List having posted Nev's invitation to the Buttermarket gig in 
Shrewsbury 2004, at which we fortuitously met.


So thank you Steve. Don't need to thank the band for last night, it was an 
excellent set of old and very new, and they appeared to enjoy it every 
much as a packed house did, but posting to this List has become a one way 
conversation in recent years, and those types of conversation are tres 
boring, n'est ce pas ?

Very fine to see former poster's to this List, though; Blueglass Vallis, 
mosh-pit Hendry, Austen, Julian, like a family affair without sex.
At least one person there had reason to wonder whether he'd ever make it 
to another, but that's been ticked, so we buzzed back to Beckenham today.


If anyone is still alive out there, give me a take on the new song they 
opened with, please; great catch at the end,


'The future..........

Streamed

But it won't work properly.......'


I should not prefer people that I agree with, but I do.....


profound and most kindest regards to all,


Gordon

Hello

I have one spare ticket also. I usually go with a friend but he has just 
cancelled because he is poorly.

So if anyone wants to go they can have the other ticket for face value - I 
think it is ~ £20 incl booking.

Let me know - email is matthewsemple@ho...com or text on 07958 499880

Aiming to get there between 8 and 8.30 to see the 'Planes (who are on at 
9.15 pm)

Thanks Matthew

if interested.
