Watching this made me rather sad. There is no way such a similar event could take place now in China, a western rock act playing to an enthusiastic Chinese audience.

That Tommy Melody was pretty horrible. Second guitarist doing a lot of PT's heavy lifting on the acoustic.

Thank you Manofwealthandtaste, I have seen some tickets available on Twickets too, but as a poor (financially) father of 3, I just can't justify that outlay, hence my rather desperate begging message! I'm a man of taste, just the wealth is missing!

"I'm a seeker, I'm a really desperate man'' Does anyone have a spare ticket for next week they would love to pass on to a long-time and very much appreciative fan? The Albert Hall shows are next week, and although I would love to go, I simply cannot afford the outlay. I know it's a charity show, I would happily make a donation for it to the TCT. I appreciate t

Indeed, it does seem a bit odd to spend so much time detailing why you don't like something (especially so long after the initial rush of responses). I, personally, don't care for SSOH at all, but I just skip it and concentrate on the other tracks that I love. And am happy for you guys that do rate that song.

I'm still loving the t-shirt I got given at the Hackney Empire press conference in September (although it's still too cold to wear it)

Perfectly said. QuoteMadMetaphoricalMax If you haven't even been bothered to listen to it in months why on earth do you think you, we or anyone will benefit from these miserable-old-git style ramblings about an album you appear to hate and have barely listened to?

Cool, thank you for taking the time to tell us, Elmo. That Live At Knebworth album is certainly rocking! I've seen BW a couple of times over the past 20 years, including the debut of the full Pet Sounds in London in about 2002. Both occasions were truly moving experiences for me.

Wow, Elmo! Lucky you! Can you share any memories/vague recollections about the Beach Boys? (Or, indeed, The Stones)

Love You Brian. One of my absolute heroes. Such a magnificent talent, but what a troubled life.

thanks, Hopkins

Nice Comments, Hopkins. I take it you're in LA? What do people there remember about Denny? Got me intrigued! Also, I love this tune too - so poppy and bright, but with a little sadness in that chorus backing 'ooooh oohh oooooh'. Always a little bittersweetness with Brian.

I can see the similarity, but Driving.. has much more of that classic Stones roll that is missing from Too Tight (and a lot of recent, pre-HD Stones songs, all played to click tracks I suppose) Quotededospegajosos What do you DMTH lovers think of Too Tight? It´s the same song. Well not really, one of them has Charlie on it.

Angry will always remind me of the sticky unexpected heat of late summer 2023, in the grimy streets of Hackney, where I was lucky enough to be based for that magical week. I hear it now, in the depths of winter, and I can feel the hot sun and smell the sweat. I love it.

I love everything about this track, and did from the very first listen. The sloping Stones swagger, a majestic roll, and in 2023! Amazing. And the beautiful Glimmer Twins harmonies just give me the feels every time.

Haven't they rather missed the boat here? Seems this track was blowing up (quite a bit of airplay here in London etc) about a month ago.

Perfectly stated, HBWriter. A rich, melancholic masterpiece.

Thanks GLS, collecting banana plants certainly sounds interesting, and to me certainly more understandable than purchasing all the variations that the suits at the record company choose to throw at fans. Anyways, I guess I'll never understand it, so chalk it down to another mystery of modern life...

It's not 'my narrative', clearly it's an obvious (and fairly cynical) marketing ploy. I am, however, asking the question sincerely about what it the attraction of buying multiple copies of the same thing? As for the comparison with going to a concert, well, that provides you with two hours of music, a chance to see living legends, hang with your friends etc, so doesn&#

That is incredible staying power, especially given most of bought (up a dozen) copies in the first week. So who's still buying it? Christmas present for grandpa?
Forum: Tell Me

Could someone explain why anyone would want to buy so many editions of the same album? I don't mean with this live cd, but people buying up to a dozen versions of the same original HD album. It's like a mania or an obsession and I just can't understand it. Can't these consumers see they're being played like a violin?
