Re: The Interval
I saw Lou Reed on his New York album tour at the London Palladium when he did two sets (first one all of the New York album, second one a normal set) with an interval. They actually had the old style usherettes with ice cream trays wandering around at the interval selling ice cream tubs and choc ices.theraven1979 wrote: ↑17 Mar 2024, 21:20 What happens?

Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings, and then I just got tired.

They should have given the old Battersea park strippers a call!

Re: The Interval
They were coming round with free ham toasties and cold drinks at Manchester, just as a thank-you for us all coming out*. The background music during the interval was all covers of Stranglers tracks by various artists, they put a playlist on Spotify a week or two back: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1DTrO ... 3d16074cb1

Re: The Interval
Sounds fun, at Glasgow we all got Haggis suppers, but had to endure a half hour set of Jock the Box doing "punk classics".droopsnoot wrote: ↑18 Mar 2024, 09:33 They were coming round with free ham toasties and cold drinks at Manchester, just as a thank-you for us all coming out*.

I recall that these included, "Heart of Glass", "2,4,6,8, Motorway" and "Jocko Homo".

Re: The Interval
I once went to a Hugh Cornwell gig in my nearest local town. It was in 2009, part of his hoover damn tour with Caz.
It was all seated with maybe 20 or 30 people attending.
Obviously no atmosphere at all. They did their usual play the whole of Hooverdam, then an interval followed by Stranglers songs.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing when the usherettes stood there waiting for people to buy ice cream, like at a kid's pantomime!
I did meet Hugh briefly after the gig though, and purchased the vinyl and cd set off him..
He's never been back since....

Re: The Interval
Yep seated venues don't work IMO. Just kills any potential atmosphere.

Re: The Interval
Someone else told me it was smoked salmon sandwiches, prosecco and jazz through the PA.

Re: The Interval
Talking of sandwiches I notice Baz is doing his usual banter about people sat in the higher seats.How original
