I never got my arse into gear to get tickets this time round. Couldn't afford it at the time either. 
To be honest, as much as I love Rush, I cant stand seeing them in Wembley. The sound is apalling. I'll be seething with jealousy, come the night though!

With the thought of venues, I do believe I'd rather be in Camden Town's Jazz Cafe and be within 10 feet of some master musicians rather than up to a 100 or more metres away - not sure whether you have the real thing in front of you. Besides there is more chance you could be talking to these guys at the bar between sets at the Jazz Cafe.

Ye, the Peel is a good venue. Only a small room but the sound is good. As Dick said, small venues are so much better and you can mingle with the band after the gig (as there's no backstage at the Peel).
Recommended!

I'm hoping to meet up with Mystic Fred before the gig, so perhaps you and Vicky can meet as well.
I say "hoping" as it's kind of important that I meet another friend before the gig as he has my ticket! I'll PM you when we've arranged something.

So true, Dick. I saw Yes at the NEC in brum once, (90125 tour
 ) and I've never been so disappointed at a gig. The set was bad enough, but the fact that the band looked like ants on a portable TV situated on another continent entirely hardly enhanced the experience.Intimate gigs are way better. Lately I've seen Gong, Hillage, Ozrics, Space Ritual, Eat Static, Here & Now. etc etc, and always with a crowd no larger than one or two thousand, and more often than not, less (do I mean fewer?....no... smaller). Pressed up against the stage is the only place to be. ------------- Perception is truth, ergo opinion is fact. |
