Agree on the Trigger Hippy @niallb
The albums are well worth a listen for many on here and they look like they would be a good evening out if they were in the vicinity.

I seem to remember that The Albert Hall shows get covered with Steve contrasting where the band were and how different the second visit was. Egos and unfettered access to the wrong things……

Yes the magpie […]

I’ve had this book review on my phone since before christmas and finally got around to posting it this week. I hadn’t even thought about a uk leg of the tour and was surprised to get the advance sales details in […]

Well one person didn’t like them, most everyone else was on board.

Hopefully this twitter link works.

Also, because everything is connected, here is one of my favorite scenes that @SGSFOX and I had to cut from HARD TO HANDLE for space. It's about the first time the Black Crowes listened to OK COMPUTER on their tour bus in 1997. This makes me laugh very hard every time I read it. pic.twitter.com/Tk59El8gII

Yes in aproper old school listen to it all the way through way. All the better for my having no idea it was even in the offing it just seemed to arrive overnight. Yet to wear my SP socks though.

No argument from me and amazingly after a very long time he released new music last year. Possibly heavier on the ballads than some would have wished I found it to be a real grower. Anyway here’s probably the most […]

Good call bobness I know that Damn Yankees possibly stretch this away from AOR and into melodic rock territory (but that’s just splitting hairs isn’t it). Anyway their debut album was packed with tunes.

Hi @Johnw, not US but we did a few in Canada before the kids came along.

I suspect that we will be ticking off the musical and cultural reference points as we go. From the last few days limited research I was surprised to see that there’s a road that’s had a pull in added so that […]

That’s the very debate we’re just having, how long to stay in one place vs how many places to tick off. Ah the fine art of route planning.

That sounds fantastic, spoilt for choice here; hard decisions will have to be taken but it’s a nice problem to have. Learning a lot just by doing some research and listening to the experiences of others.

Thanks Folks,
SF is on the wants list so now looking to see if we can come up with a schedule that allows for it.

Beyond flying into and out of Vegas the adults aren’t bothered about it The youngsters […]

Hi, @Sitheref2409
We will be there from the end of July to mid August due to UK school holidays.

There will be two of us to drive so distances can be shared. Youngsters pretty content to chill in the back […]

We’re attempting to leave the fear and loathing at home but will bear that in mind. 😉

Thanks, we’re not bothered about Vegas beyond it being the airport in / out. Though will go to a show if we need to be there for a day / night.

Currently checking roadtrips and this will take place next August […]

I do enjoy some Van Halen…. I remember being passed some vhs tapes from American mtv in the mid to late 80’s when as a teen it seemed impossibly exotic. A day glo west coast beach party viewed a million miles […]

Thank you very much and congratulations to you too for tomorrow.

50 as well, I beat you by a day. How on earth did we end up here!

My son summed it up quite well earlier after he’d jumped at me, been caught […]
