I've been remiss in updating this for a while. He's the opening song from our most recent gig a couple of weeks ago. Next stop, The Mercury Theatre, Colchester on 31/3/18. Come on down.

Tickets available via this link.

Done with thanks.

I tried Guitar Pro. Downloaded the program on a free trial, but it won't install for some reason

Thanks, I just need sight of it of the dots. Four songs to learn on the hurry up and not much time to sit writing them out as I normally would.

Yes, the top solution on Google was indeed GP, but that looked like a sign up/free trial etc.

Anyone use anything specific to get these open? I've grabbed a tab and downloaded it, but my laptop won't open it. Googling how to do it reveals many possible solutions. I'm after a point in the direction of something reliable, free and that won't attract any unwanted crap afterwards. Advice gratefully received.

He is nearly 60 though. Carrying a few extra pounds, but I can't knock anyone for that myself 😂

Bump. A few tickets left for this celebration of Bowie.

Yes, very much so. I might have missed something, but after Thompson left and Gabriel's joined, did the band attempt anything live with just RS on guitar duties? He made a comment that he missed having a wing man (guitarist) which tends to suggest they did. If so, how did that turn out?

Yes, looks like a great set. Quality original album and some great bonus material.

Yes, I think I saw that listed on You Tube. That might be tonight's entertainment sorted. Thanks 👍

Just spotted the 3 Disc Deluxe version of Disintegration on Google Play, so that's going to be my first purchase 👍

I'm glad you said that. I kept looking at the strings on his guitar and thought they looked aa bit on the chubby side. That would explain it.

....and Gabrels is playing a sexy looking Reverend amongst many others. You wouldn't want to be his guitar tech!

Quite. As a drummer from way back used to be fond of saying - KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid

Yes, he swaps between a black one and a white one on the Lollapalooza show and they look and sound great. I could never play a bass that low though. It even look a little uncomfortable for him in a couple of places. What a great gig to have though. Not hideously complicated, but a lot of power play.

Ah yes, XTC. Must have been going through that about the same time as you. Bought their compilation for my wife and got hooked myself. Great band. Starz, now there's a name I haven't heard for a while! Love Aerosmith too, but always have since I first heard Sweet Emotion. The Toxic Twin Towers Ball was a great gig. Last one at the old Wembley Stadium as I recall?

I would love to start a gig with something as laid back as Plainsong. It's just lovely. Perfect festival fare that one.

Did make me laugh. When the come back on for the encore, Robert makes a comment about how much time they've been told they have left to the second and then sings the theme to Countdown....like Lollapalooza will know what that is
