BankMan wrote: 02 Mar 2024, 11:27 Makes you wonder why they don’t do a couple of low key or secret warm up gigs, particularly as they’ll be playing stuff we haven’t heard in ages. Unless I’m not as on the ball as I used to be
They do these for every tour. Don't you lot get invited? :wink:

Re: Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham?

I've been a couple of times, once on the 10 tour, and once with Paul singing. I can't remember whether people got up or not. Waste of time me posting, really.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Hadn't he been secretly rehearsing with Cook and West for 6 months? I'm sure I read that Hugh said that he'd been accused of that, but denied it. May be the cricket tale is a just a good anecdote for the media. I also recall reading that someone who is into cricket called out the tale about Devon M...

That's a strangely-written piece, I was looking for some clue that it was translated from another language but it doesn't seem to be.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I could well be wrong but i thought the Ally Pally gig wasn't part of a 10 tour but a weekend of bands set up to celebrate so many years of the Alexander Palace after the 10 tour had finished. Of course the gig still promoted the 10 album with a very slight change of a setlist You're right, it was ...

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

but saying that how do you leave you can't say in advance and expect the band to be happy about you going at some point and if he had said in advance then there might not of even been a 10 tour the band probably wouldn't continue on with the tour knowing he's off at some point One way would be to s...

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

For her birthday I bought my wife a fur coat made from 3000 hamster skins, and took her to Blackpool for a weekend. She went on the big wheel and I couldn't get her off it for two days.

Three little pigs walked into a restaurant and were seated at a table. After a few minutes looking at the menu, they decided to start with some appetizers. The waiter asked the pigs what they’ll have. "I'll start with some chips and salsa," the first pig replied. "I will begin with so...
