Looking forward to catching them at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, this venue has the best acoustics of any venue I've been to in the UK... The strings should sound fantastic in there.......

Would have done the Palladium as well if it was at the weekend, but will probably do Liverpool as well..........

Looks like Brum and Liverpool for me...

If they chuck in Porcupine as well I'll go otherwise it's a pass from me.

Pick of the venues is probably the Grand Opera House York with the London Palladium a near second. Forget the other humongous modern monstrosities, should you be going. I saw Björk at the London Palladium in the 90s - lovely place, although everybody had to sit down respectably (pretty difficult just to sit motionless) - so deffo no daddy dancing.

I won't be going either, as I prefer the OR recording or something more akin to The Tube performances. Instead, I have contacted Statler and Waldorf this morning and told them to book their pre-sale balcony tickets or to kindly ask the Bunnymen to put them on the guest list.

So... we going to have a bet on which previously unreleased tracks Warners are going to put on the next special edition, released just in time? Hmm?

I'd rather have a CD/DVD/Download of
the HUH/Crocs tour.

And I'll only go if they play Porcupine as well.

They may be keeping it a secret, but honestly if they
want people to go, they only have to say.

I reckon it's a fare, i mean fair, or is that right? well tour.

Will Warners actually give a shit?

I would say most die hard fans would have travelled to the 2008 shows At Royal Albert Hall and Echo Arena.

I was at Echo Arena and it was not sold out.

I was at the after party too where Mac was with a most gorgeous looking woman.
I spoke to her for a fleeting minute, she seemed extremely intelligent and funny but this may have been the glasses she was wearing - that made her all the more sexy of course.

She didn't look like she could be his daughters age though so maybe she was too smart.

Picking those venues though, they'd never be able to do anything other than Ocean Rain... maybe WAYGTDWYL? A stripped down version might be interesting as it would get a good balance between the band and an orchestra.

It's a shame really, terrific venues picked but I wasn't that excited by the Royal Albert Hall Ocean Rain performance, whereas Crocs/HUH at Brixton was pretty good, breathtaking even. I'm still holding out hope that maybe they'll take Crocs/HUH to Paris or somewhere...

Wonder who the woman was. Sexy specs, eh? Who could resist.

She was rather breathtaking, a natural looking blonde - he looked quite smitten I must say.

Lucky bastard!

Ocean Rain was good but for some reason she stands out in my memory more.

Agreed. I'd rather see them play a Burned or Evergreen set along with Porcupine, rather than another run at OR

Porcupine + Evergreen = where can I get the pre-sale tickets?
