Giraffe Man Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 23 hours ago, Quark said: Glad you had a good time too pal! Were you in the mixer or standing somewhere more sensible? Had to shower when I got home, was absolutely soaked! Guessing you've been there before? Pretty much standard tbh. There's more work being done on Marine Parade so the queue was running alongside the building towards the marina instead of back towards Brighton centre. Mostly masks in the queue, checking ticket at the box office as standard and then in! Queue for the bar a bit more organised than the usual press and they were asking but not insisting on masks in the bar area. Some people wearing them in the main area (mine was on and off as I heated up / cooled down!) but by and large it was a standard Concorde gig! In the middle level with the mixing desk, I am 6`4" so had a good view from there, I am very mindful of ruining peoples evening when all they can see is the back of my head!

I’m 6’5 and the same but when the missus is shorter and she wants to get into the crowd or you’re with a bunch of mates who want to get proper in its not always possible to be that mindful of everyone. Although it is their own fault for being so short! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty close actually, multiple times in the past I’ve just had to lie down in the backseat of an Uber as my neck was gonna snap otherwise as the average car’s roof is too low for me.

FloorFiller Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Liz Phair has pulled out of her dates with Alanis Morissette later in the year. She only mentions ‘summer’ dates so not sure if that applies to the U.K. leg as well, but Cat Power is replacing her so not all bad if that’s the case!

Gilgamesh69 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 The Killers saying if you preorder the album you can get a chance to attend an exclusive UK show next year. Trying to find if there's one of those little "No purchase necessary" links but haven't had any luck so far. I wonder where it could be. Not sure I fancy a stadium gig, but a intimate gig could be amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the Visa fees actually are for Europeans in the UK are but I've seen lots of non-major record label US acts play venues of 200 (or less people) before and I would have thought those travel costs would be alot more too plus they can deduct the visa costs from their taxes anyway.
