What's the word w/ Echo Arena?

[Seven Seas]

Hey,

Anyone here attending this November gig (that ordered their tickets through see-tickets/gigs & tours.com)? Did you receive them yet?

What's the word about this gig? I mean, ever since it was announced, no thread on either forum has been created regarding it. So, it's like, what's going on?

It's just weird b/c it's seems that things are not going so well, regarding excitement & discussion upon this gig. Understandably so, I realize that it's not RAH or RCMH but, it's still in their hometown for somewhat of an importance, IMHO. (sorry to sound negative but, I haven't seen ANYTHING posted anywhere about this gig)

Is it also true that they closed 1/2 the venue for only selling a portion of the tickets?

Is anyone here flying over for this? Did you get your hotel accommodations sorted out possibly too?

My apologies in advance for so many questions but, I'm just asking b/c truthfully, I haven't seen anything about this anywhere. Understandably & comprehensibly so, I realize it is for a NOVEMBER gig & this is only May but, it's just strange that tickets haven't been sent out yet (I've asked people I know whom are flying over there too, like PG & myself & all of us received RAH's & RCMH's already.....)

If this is possibly cancelled due to lack of expansion through the sales, how much time allottment would be appropriated?

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

i wouldn't worry about the tix, a lot of places don't send the tickets out until a month before the show.

[Dr Cheese]

I've not received any tickets yet but then again I'd probably need to order them first.

I'm wondering if the band is not spreading themselves a bit thin. As I recall the changes in venues from Evergreen to the Siberia tour got smaller and smaller in some locations.

Now they have three huge shows all around the same time and two are in the same part of the world. The Bunnymen aren't all that fun to look at from row XX in an arena either...just sayin....

Yup. They played a 700 capacity venue here on the Siberia tour.

I've heard they are ditching the 'lets play statues' approach that has worked so well for them over the last thirty years, nor will they be hiding behind tons of dry ice. Peasey has picked up a giant metal lemon that will transport the band on stage and halfway through a giant inflatable penis will spray the audience with foam, well I hope it will be foam. Then during the killing moon an invisible harness will lift mac above the audience and he will fly about doing somersaults (glasses held on with a rubber band, natch). Will has bought what is supposed to be jimmy page's violin bow off ebay (ten new sets of hair and five new sticks) and will be highlighted during the resurection of porcupine by a bright blue laser beam pyramid. On top of that mac will start doing that thing where the singer goes down to the front and runs his fingers through the hands of the adoring girlies down there, mop his brow with their underwear** and he will even pick out one lucky lady and sing the yoyo man directly to her whilst holding her hands in his, squinting, to see if she is really as fit as he hopes, through his prescription shades. He will then call bono up and tell him he's on candid camera. The audience will see, on a giant screen the U2 singer walking around his house, scratching his arse and saying things like, jesus christ, haven't we got any effing milk in this effing place - and so on before being given the surprise of his life. then he'll laugh and act really natural but be cut off before he can say anything about saving the planet or how bad war really is.

At the end, mac will rip his shirt off and throw it into the audience mozza style and the band will smash all of their equipment up and so will only actually do one show. So I'd be there if were you.

Chez.

**there are no details yet as to whether they will still be wearing it at the time

nice try........but somehow i can't see Will smashing up his gear!

i do wanna see the giant lemon tho.......pity they can't just make it appear onstage like the Tardis!

You have to admit Mac used to be a bit more animated than he has been in recent years.Now he just grasps that mic stand all night.

Aw come on! He drop-kicks fag butts

You're rugged good looks, rock climbing prowess and top rocker status have got you this far. A couple of tickets should be no problem.

That's because if he let go he'd fall flat on his arse. Fact!

Shit a Goddamn, you're right. Those bastards should be banging on my door demanding that I accept free tickets, backstage passes and everything!

OMG, your comment made me laugh so hard here at work now!!!! OMG....

This reminded me of seeing him swish away the smoke on Dec. 8, trying to find his cup (booze)...I loved the capacity of that swish too, b/c his coat that night was excellent, CLASSIC style of 80's imagery. LOVE the 80's look. LOL

Aye, still though, if anyone here's real info upon real details of this gig or you get your tickets, let me know. Every day, I keep checking & tracking the see tickets and it just keeps stating they're waiting for them to arrive....We'll see. Thanks.

I'd rather he did that than climb on top of the keyboards.

[Mr. Brian]

I'd rather he did that than climb on top of the keyboards.

He used to dance around a bit. Why can't he just do that? It's not like they've ever been theatrical and no one is expecting that. But if it's an "either or" like you put then I guess I have to agree.
