featuring Imelda May

Info

just what I guessed. Okay, my guess was not Paris but some show between Cologne und Amsterdam.

ticket prices are 176 to 220 Euros, see: [www.olympiahall.com] (obviously they are not learing from Cologne… but from Amsterdam…)

well, a man gotta eat....

Haven't really been following closely, so Cologne still hasn't sold out ? I suppose "stones crazy" fans already got their ticket for Amsterdam so that leaves fewer punters ready to pay prices like that for a show by a "sideman". Barcelona was €150, did that sell well ?

I went on the pre-sale at 3pm and had no trouble getting a standing ticket for €170. For several weeks now, people around Ronnie have apparently been trying to put together this Olympia show, but the usual big promoters, like GDP Productions, didn’t want to take the risk at those prices. In the end, it was a smaller promoter who decided to go for it.
Now, seeing that there are still pre-sale tickets available, that there have been very few posts about it here on the forum, and also seeing how little reaction there has been in the French media and among fans in general — apart from people joking about the prices — I’m starting to think it might actually be difficult to sell out. I really hope the show goes ahead though, because for me it’s incredibly convenient, and since I’m not going to many concerts this year, I’m really happy to have the chance to see Ronnie if the show goes ahead.
Honestly, it’s going to be cool anyway — we’ll probably be like 50 people there, all friends who know each other. See you there!

We still don’t officially know who the special guest is for the Amsterdam shows. But it’ll probably be Imelda May… right?

Ronnie plus Van Morrison at Burg Clam in Austria is not sold out either, tickets are EUR 170 seated and EUR 110 standing. The event is now billed as "Van Morrison, Ronnie Wood & His Band, John Lee Hooker Jr.". It appears as if Van Morrison was upgraded from special guest to headliner(?).

I believe he was a co-headliner from the start. I expect a 30-40 minutes opening set, than 90-90 minutes seta from Van and Ronnie, maybe with a few songs played together.

Yes, that's right. Like with the Eric Clapton show, Ronnie is the opening support act. This must be the first time in decades that Ronnie has opened for someone; the Birds, perhaps?

It's always the same artists that Ronnie plays with, i find them boring, pitty Ronnie never grew a pair and played a show like Keith did with the Winos carrying the show throughout, too late now i know Ronnie is too old.

Another missed oppertunity since the New Barbarians was Ronnie and Keith doing some shows together. Keith comes on plays 4 or 5 songs. Then Ronnie comes on to give Keith a rest and do 4 or 5 songs, then Keith comes back on and plays 6 or 7 songs with Ronnie. It's my dream concert.
I'd pay £1000 to see those shows.

You may be right. I believe there was a poster somewhere in my neighbourhood that had both names in the same size and type face, with Morrison's name first.

Can't imagine why Van Morrison didn't sell enough tickets. Jazz Fest New Orleans - I have yet to hear one good thing about Van Morrison - over various appearances.

Live he's horrific, apparently.

Van has a tight band and is a stellar live performer. He's a musician rather than an entertainer and his interaction with his audience is through his music, not banter (although I did once witness him wishing everyone a happy Mothers Day).

Nevertheless do they fill you with excitement the way someone like Steve Jordan does.

Yes. They are legends. Listen to I Got My Own Album To Do or the Kilburn live album.

Of course i have I've Got My Own Album To Do, I've got all Ronnie albums but not Fearless, the 4 new tracks are nothing like as good as I Feel Like Playing.
Waste of money.

I could only bring myself to play Mother Of The Pearl twice. Ouch.

Did the London Forum show sell out?

Dude they are absolute legends. Andy Newmark was one of the best session guys going in the 70s, played on so many great tracks and was very versatile.

Willie Weeks is also a phenonmal session guy and one of the best bass players of all time.

Just absolutely fantastic musicians who frankly in terms of pure musicianship run rings around Ron & Keith, but the records they did together in the 70s are outstanding.

Thanks for the heads up
Ps. After a quick study he's very influential but not exactly John Entwistle, funk is not really my idea of rock but yeah he's 78, low energy.

Have these been reduced in price? Weren’t they 200 quid to start with rather than £146 for GA?

I was wondering about that too after reading posts here about the GBP200 price.

I'll wait for the first reviews and setlists to decide whether I get a ticket for Paris...Imelda May is mentioned as a guest but what is she going to sing ? It's not like there are many female vocalists on Ronnie's solo material. It would have made more sense to have Bernard Fowler along for the ride to support Ronnie if he really intends to play some of the old tracks from the 70s.

"Balcony Unreserved Seats / Rear Standing" is still £199.80 on [www.Ticketmaster.co.uk] .

Right but downstairs standing is £145.90 hence the post above, not really "fair" to only mention the highest price.

Yes this is fantastic and when Mick Jagger went his own way in the 80's i could never understand why Keith and Ron didn't tour together as The Barbarians again.

I see what you mean, that's Andy Newmark and Willie Weeks , wow hope you guys enjoy the show, hopefully it's going to be great if Ronnie plays anything like that.
