Good reviews all!
I returned yesterday evening to Amsterdam and I was still singing the songs in my head. It was a great concert. I had a seat at the fourth row at floor level, but was soon at the front before Andy. Amazing view at the stage! Sound was very good, lighting could be better and the graphics montage was excellent.
TGTP was steady as always, I missed the solo's of Phil a bit (Ollie had a great solo in MYL), Andy was great and Bryan in good voice and very enthousiastic (Do the Strand was a show!), running around a lot and inviting people to dance and sing.
It was good to hear Prairie Rose, ITIS (favourite), Bitter Sweet, Sentimental Fool (excellent!), Just Like You (yammie), Same Old Scene and.. and.. and. Well I enjoyed it all! The finale was great!
Has anyone seen what happened to the rose I gave (via a photographer)?




There were a lot of people filming and making photo's.
Peanut: is it possible if I could get a recording from you? Can you please get in touch via PM! Thanks! And if anyone else has a tape, please contact me.



I bought also a poster (black/silver) and it has a number in the right hand corner (35/150). Fortunately I have some empty walls left!

I heard some rumours they are playing at The Hague Jazz (Den Haag) at June 15th. Does anybody have information if this is true?

For everyone who is going to the next two gigs: enjoy, you will have a great time!

The recording from Birmingham sounds not too bad at all. Hopefully, as you say, more will emerge, and particularly (for selfish reasons) Glasgow 1.

I wish RM would take a leaf out of Mark Knopfler and Elton John's book (to name but two) and release the soundboards from the shows. These are usually available as USB sticks, right after the show (any encores can be subsequently downloaded) or as downloads subsequently. In MK's case, the cost was £11.99, a small price to pay for an unedited soundboard.

Great review of a fab concert. I was extremely lucky (understatement!) to buy 3 front row seats for £102 last Friday on Ebay . Up until then I didn't think I was going at all.
It was great to hear favourites from the first albums - always the best. No disrespect to Phil, but wasn't Ollie great. Although I went with my official photographer (my husband) we took our old camera so the piccys are not the best so if anyone has some nice photos from near the front I would love to see them -contact me on pm. I would also love to have a recording of the show.

The Nottingham audio is also now available via torrent.

Indeed it is. I knew that one was coming, as the taper is a friend.

Handy! Apparently Glasgow 1 recording has superb sound and is circulating too. I hope to get hold of that one since it was the one I was at.

"The Nottingham audio is also now available via torrent.'

Would someone be so kind as to post the link please. And of the Brum concert as I was there

Many thanks

Dave

Not sure if posting links is allowed on here. Will PM you.

I'd love to get my hands on the audio of one of the concerts of this tour. Very curious to hear the 'new' songs live. I haven't been able to find the torrents though, can anybody PM them to me? You will have my eternal gratitude!

Many thanks Roxydude
