QuoteRoadster32 Quotelatvianinexile Not sure if they know for sure, but German newspaper says that pit holds 400 persons. What was the capacity of the Tongue pit? From all the photos I saw and also standing next to it, I would estimate around 250? It was pretty small.

QuoteManofwealthandtaste QuoteMr Jimmy Nice and easy this morning getting a couple of 'Front Standing' tickets. Couldn't find any pit tickets but I'm happy with the front standing area. Looking forward to my first visit to Sweden! See you there! Hey there my fellow Desert Tripper - myself and BarRoomQueen will see you there! Fantastic! Looking forward to it!

Quote6s7s9s Does anyone know what Platinum is? Yes, they are rip-off tickets. The same tickets available normally, but at a much higher price. Don't buy them, unless of course you have money to burn...

I've always thought that McCartney's vocal on Sgt. Pepper (I mean, track one on the album) is one of his finest moments. Such a great take, he just sounds awesome!
Forum: Tell Me

For anyone stateside and a fan of McCartney, it looks like the next batch of U.S live dates will be announced tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10am local time. So far it looks like Detroit, Des Moines, and I guess a few others TBC.

Just seen that the two LA Forum shows scheduled for this weekend have been postponed until September, due to severe bronchitis. Get well soon EC!
Forum: Tell Me

Totally agree with comments that EC is hit or miss live. I've seen him several times, the first being '94 or '95 on the 'From The Cradle' tour, which was awesome. I've seen at least one really average show, certainly 2009 at the Albert Hall. He opened with a lousy album track from a pretty lousy album, Pilgrim. The song was 'Going Down Slow' I think. Really

QuoteSomeTorontoGirl I have no idea where to post this... Tonight, I went to Massey Hall to see Blue Rodeo, a pretty fine Canadian band that I've liked for years and only seen live once, years ago. I was third row. The Sadies opened and were a lovely surprise. Jimmy Bowskill is playing with BR now - he is the kid whom Jeff Healey discovered and mentored when he was about 12 years old.

QuoteNate Quoteshatteredlicks According to the Irish Mirror the Stones may play Croke Park in June. Croke Park are allowed three concerts a year and two slots have already been filled with U2 and Coldplay.Lets hope the Stones are the third, which means a European Tour??????? That's if they can remove everyone that fell asleep in the stadium during the Coldplay concert. Nate LOLOL

Quotepaulywaul That would be so great to hear them do Stop Dragging My Heart Around. Unfortunately, I am scheduled to be in London on holiday the prior weekend.

This is great news! The BST Hyde Park series still has two acts to announce on the second weekend, which would be held on either the 7th, 8th or 9th July, so this could work out fine.

Yeah I bought this on VHS at a merchandise stand at Wembley in 1995. I never really got into it as it had a different vibe to the Wembley show what with the show starting in daylight, and quite a few different songs in the setlist. Funny intro though with Little T&A!

Thanks guys! It's a damn expensive ticket, but 'life is for living' (and eating beans on toast for the next three months, ha!) It took me about 45mins to get through and then the process was really straight forward. Roll on October!

Having seen four shows on the current tour, I can say that I've been really impressed with Sasha. Her solo on Gimme Shelter in particular is awesome. It sounds more primal, more fearful, than Lisa has been doing it in recent years. More of a Merry Clayton vibe. Nothing at all against Lisa Fischer, I think she's fantastic, but I've really enjoyed Sasha's vocals on this tour

Here's a clip of Sasha Allen covering The Beatles 'Oh Darling'. Pretty tasty at 1:33 and the bass player is playing a Hofner. Cool... See you in South America Sasha!
