Not having heard the published version, he was more than a little surprised to hear the track included a rather fine guitar break by Robert Fripp" Plus the fact you can spot Fripp's playing a mile away. Listen to Eno's "St. Elmo's fire", for a typically sounding Fripp solo and you will be able to hear a similarity in sound to ASWT.

Excellent. Thanks for the info, Isao and Masaki. I don't have any of the other Roxy tribute albums but this one somehow sounds like it might be rather entertaining, despite your best efforts to put the rest of us off it. I've never been able to take Roxy covers very seriously, for some reason, so slightly unusual versions might be just the ticket. Bahi Isao Niwa wrote: >Ah, that's very notorious tribute albums to RM.

There was a rumour at the time that his manager at E.G., Mark Fenwick, kindly rejected it on Bryan's behalf and that the scale of its subsequent success was one of the things that hastened the acrimonious split between Bryan and E.G. Speaking of rumours and managers, I'm told that there are some interesting stories going around about why Bryan and manager Ed Bicknell didn't manage to stick together following Bryan's departure from E.G. Bryan now describes himself as having been 'without a manager' during that time, though back in '87, his Bicknell-negotiated deal with Virgin was being described as "phenomenally good" by Ed. Does anyone have any gossip on this to counter the current glossy propoganda? Or would that be too disrespectful, given that there's a sedate new 30s album on the way?

I am thinking of skipping my torts class to get down to the venue to get the ticket in person. The show is for the 5th of November (Friday). There is a small ad in the NYT Sunday Entertainment section (page 2). Can someone confirm if BF will be doing the orchestra/"unplugged" or with the full band as in Mamouna. If it will be a short set of songs from the new CD, I am not sure if I want to go. At least for the Mamouna, the price for seats in the first 10 to 15 rows were in the $55 range and others in the $30 range. He played at the Beacon during that tour as well. Please someone get back to me on this before tomorrow as I have make the decision by tomorrow night. Is anyone else from this board going to be there to buy the tickets? Maybe we can meet up in the morning. I will probably head right back to school after the ticket purchase though. - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Oct 1999 18:51:09 -0400 (EDT) From: Colleen Matan Subject: Re: [AVALON] BF in NYC at Beacon Theatre on sale Monday 10 AM On Sat, 2 Oct 1999, Hoon Shin wrote: > section (page 2).

At The page for the NY show at ticketmaster.com makes a point of noting "performing hits from the 1930s only" (which for some reason I find very amusing). No prices are listed. Colleen (who is still deciding about the NY show herself) P.S. Gene, have you checked the fares to BWI and Dulles too?

The seats in the first 15 rows or so were all scammed in advance by the scalpers. It doesn't matter if you're the first one on line or "online". I don't know who is in with who but I think it has something to do with even if the tickets go on sale at 10AM, some will be allowed to pick up tickets before that or the ticket window won't be opened until those tickets are nabbed. Once I was the first person on line to pick up Dire Straits tickets but the Ticketmaster did not open until 15 or 20 minutes past the time it was supposed to open. Then when I asked about it, the guy at the counter gave me old bs. They I happned to notice a stack of tickets right next to the counter about 2 inches thick. The one on the top was for the concert I was buying the ticket for. I ended in the floor about 100 seats from the stage. What I did for Mamouna tour was paid the scalper extra 100 bucks to trade up my ticket to near front rows. So it cost me about $250 extra for all 3 nights. If I go, I think I will do the same this time. It is only one show so that is not bad. It makes a huge difference to be seating up front. I just hope the jazz crooner format is worth it.
