All The Best

ps. Rory Gallagher is only mentioned in the paragrpahs of the vinyl I have of Howlin' Wolf London sessions my mistake! Apologies to you and all concerned! Gallagher still better that Clapton and Winwood though!

Saw it, mate - thanks. Too many other expenses this month (Lucinda on Sunday in Manchester and four Springsteen shows in 5 days from next weekend) so I might be obliged to skip it. Have seen him before though (1995). If theres still availability nearer the time I may change my mind, though

Is this his only gig in Europe? I'd love to see him again

Sweden in January.
I dont have any link, but will post it here ASAP.

Hey Gazza, enjoy Bruce, my man!! I hope you will email me a review! I'll send you a quick email later!!

Jan 25 Baltiska Hallen Malmö
Jan 26 Lisebergs-Hallen Göteborg

Chuck needs to shoot his tour manager if only for his hopeless grasp of geography

Yes, indeed.
thats a hell of a journey, not only for a 80 year old rocker.

Especially considering he'll need two flights to get to Istanbul.

Not to mention ELEVEN straight nights in a row - all in different cities. Even without the travelling, that is a pretty gruelling schedule even for non-octagenarians.

I guess you're saying, one can't fly directly from Belfast to Istanbul?
makes it even more worse.

quite a few things went wrong on the last tour.
He fired his drummer in the middle of the set, did some major F* ups - forgetting the lyrics, wrong chords , got stuck in traffic jams etc.

Thank ya Beast for teachin' me new words! :-)

Chuck's routine at least in the USA is that he flies commercial, when he lands he goes to a rental car booth and rents a car. He drives himself and his female companion to a hotel, then he drives to the venue. He does not use a driver. If something goes wrong with the show and feels like The Man is ripping him off he can simply leave on his own.
