... must be a pincushion then...
But seriously. I'm doubting whether I should go or not.... I already have a ticket for the Paradiso Amsterdam gig on the 21st. And if I'm going, I might choose for Gateshead instead...

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings. Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45. Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story |

I'll be in the front stalls on the 16th. I was worried the venue would be empty-ish, so I'm actually pleased as much as 81% have sold - pleasantly surprised even (the ticket prices gave me doubts).

Darn… I'd just got permission from the missus to attend one of the RFH gigs for old time's sake (the 02 PS gigs were a blast, the first run of 04 BWPS gigs even blastier… I have tremendously fond memories of hanging out during those gigs) but turns out I'm working in West Yorkshire over that period anyway, so can't go.
Sorry Andrew, can't help on this occasion.
Gotta ask though, why did you buy so many tickets in the first place?

I got my ticket for the Friday show over the weekend and I'll hopefully be going to the Saturday night as well.
Don't worry Andrew, you'll have someone next to you......I've just bought a ticket for Phil Cohen!
Although he said the gigs weren't going to happen-is this true?!!!

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

I've not been to the RFH before, what's their view on people taking photograph of gigs?
The tickets say no recording or video but don't say "no photography"....but would I get away with the big SLR I took successfully to Brian's Portsmouth gig in 2004?

As long as it's not obvious, no problems. Turn your flash off, crank the ASA up to maybe 200 - there's enough light onstage. A good optical zoom helps a lot too. |

I never use a flash at gigs....but normally when I take a big camera it is by prior arrangement with the band I recall sitting in the 4th row for the Portsmouth SMiLE gig, and whenever I lifted up the camera Brian turned to me and smiled or mugged an amusing face. He was on good form. |

Were those ticket stats from a website? Or did you calculate it? If you yourself calculated it, it may be time to check into a "friendly environment", for some "peace and quiet". |

Probably because every time he does one more RFH gig everyone over here thinks 'Well, that's it, he won't be back to the UK again so I'd better see him one last time before he a) stops touring for good b) dies, c) whatever. I shan't be going. This time. |
