I think they realize that anything can happen to them at any time and they want to go out in a blaze of glory. This is an unannounced world tour, which they'll rollout in stages and perhaps in between we'

Hackney Diamonds = Slang for broken glass. (I thought) Do I have to be connected to a place to use it in slang? F**k it’s as cold as Siberia. Do I need to have been in Siberia once before I can say this. Do I have to have actually seen cats and dogs fall from the sky once before its ok to say it’s raining cats and dogs?

QuoteThe Sicilian QuotePaddy I was listening to the Santa Monica 72 release last night. Mick Ronson was a great guitar player. So was I. Actually I've been listening to it for the past 3 days. It's the first time I heard it in its entirety. Mick Ronson was perfect for Bowie. It’s a great live record, it beats the spiders soundtrack for me.

Posted in the Van City thread also, but am looking for a spare LD ticket for Vancouver. A friend is looking for one.
Forum: Tell Me

It’s a long shot I know but does anyone have a spare LD ticket for the Vancouver gig? I have a friend who’s eager to go but the prices are too juicy.

BC Place has a roof but the sound can be hit or miss. I was there most recently for GnR and the sound on the floor at least was great. (Some of the sounds from Axl were not so great)

The Beatles might have made a jump from I Wanna Hold Your Hand to A Day In The Life. But Buddy’s jump from his early material to a song like True Love Ways is amazing. At just 22. Tragic loss. This new release will be interesting.

I assumed the LD link would not appear until 10am but being the paranoid creature when it comes to ticket buying that I am I refreshed the Stones tour page at 9:52 and the Lucky Dip button was there, I clicked and went into the queue immediately. I did have to wait 7 minutes before I could buy but Im sure that was the difference between getting them and not.

The last time I sat listening to an album while buying tickets for said album tour was in 1995 for Oasis' Morning Glory tour. But i did it this morning... stuck on the coffee and stuck on Hackney Diamonds while waiting to buy tickets.

QuoteHonkyTonkJan A great character and an even better songwriter. I saw The Pogues several times back in the day. I count myself very lucky... The gigs at The Barrowlands Ballroom, Glasgow are the craziest I've ever attended. Absolutely wild..and no matter how lubricated Shane was, he always delivered. There’s a killer Pogues boot from Barrowlands on YouTube.
Forum: Tell Me

This feels almost like a personal loss. Shane’s music was some of the first I heard when I was a kid and it/he really spoke to me. I saw Shane/The Pogues at least 15 times over the years and spoke with the man on a few occasions. A true poet. RIP Shane we were blessed to have you.

I played the big 4 over the weekend and then listened to HD after a weeks break. HD is the best album The Stones could have released in 2023 I think… To hear Beggars Banquet and then HD kinda F**ks my head, Hackney Diamonds is an amazing achievement for a band that’s been around this long and so many albums into their career. It sounds urgent and of now in places and there’s ties back to record
