My first thought was sending a check in the mail. Didn't know there was a charge to both parties for doing that. I'll try to get the ticket to you as soon as possible.

Cheers Michael, ta for the advice.

It just gets better! Sure 'cash on the night' is great. Been playing the first two albums a few times in anticipation. Never thought I would ever see/hear 'Ritz', 'What Ruthy said', 'Bed in the corner', 'Singular Band'.... - let alone with a full orchestra!

Looking back through the record collection I began to indulge myself.... mainly thinking about seeing similar double album gigs to this one; perhaps coupling 'Best Years..' with 'Prima Donna' and/or 'Timeless Flight'? Then the two from around the time Steve spent in California 'Hobo..' and 'The Candidate'....

And, as we know, after the seventh studio album the Lord rested for a while.... (but, thankfully, continued to tour).

After a few years (and a few wonderful singles) we've had a kind of Second coming.... (or days of rapture if you like) ever since the 'Come Back All Is Forgiven' tour really.

Time to stick on another album I think; I'm beginning to get carried away again.

Cheers, Gerry

Amen to that, a London date playing those 2 iconic masterpiece albums would truly be a thing of wonder.
It doesn't get much better than that.
Make it happen SH

Why London??????

Hi Cheri,

I will check out Jury's Inn and other abodes, certainly I will be hunkering down somewhere in Birmingham that night so I can happily stump up the cash. I do want to get to the Stables gig - it always sells out when Steve plays there. I caught the acoustic show at Colchester last time around. Great night, great gig, and I had'nt seen Steve so relaxed, open and chatty with his audience. Mind you it was a bit of a homecoming for him, and I really loved the layout of the the local Mercury theatre and the staff there were so friendly and welcoming.... and they had a really good bar as well. What a contrast - the massive, massive Birmingham experience and the intimate Stables gig. You won't forget either.
