Roxy supported Bowie on his Ziggy Stardust tour. I know Split Enz opened for them in Australia (that's how Phil discovered them and produced their album). The Sadistic Mika Band opened for them on the Siren tour. What other memorable acts toured with Roxy? ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 00:16:02 +0000 From: Richard Evans Subject: [AVALON] Set Lists I after some typical set lists from the Stranded and Country Life tours.

I think it is human nature to be a bit provincial and forget that ones region of origin is not the cosmopolitan center of the universe. I was chatting with someone on Napster who was from Holland. I told him I was from Los Angeles and he said "Oh, I didn't know Bryan had fans in LA". This wasn't very well thought out on his part, as Bryan and Roxy have been booked here everytime they've come to North America. Obviously his people know he has a fan base here, albeit a cult following. I've been guilty of the same thing, when talking to a Ferry fan from Chile I was quite surprised to discover his locale. My first reaction to Bryan's animal hunting comments, were that people in the UK don't care much about animals. I really don't know enough about the UK to establish this opinion and on second thought I'm sure their are animal rights groups there too. I've come to learn that one place is really not that different from another and that people are fundamentally the same, compassionate and callous, caring and selfish. The dual nature of man, is that each one of us, are all these things from time to time...Running out of time

Although I usually just lurk, I'm so happy about the upcoming US Roxy tour that I just HAVE to chime in and agree with Debs -- I hate U2 and have for nearly 20 years. Personally I think MTV was their ruination. So re: Eno I really can't find any commercial or anti-commercial high ground in the reunion debate. Also - - I wonder if Eno was ever even approached to be a part of the tour at all? On first read, his quote seemed like so much sour grapes... This has probably been gone over ad infinitem while I was too busy to read all the postings, and please forgive me if so, but I loved the fortuitous timing of the highjacking near-catastrophe and the reunion announcement. And I sure love this Avalon list! Julie Doll819@aol.com wrote: > Even though I am a North American (as we are currently being called), I > loathe U2.

Personally I think MTV was their ruination. Let me chime in here and mention that the first time I became aware of U2 my childhood friend, Gary Shiffrar, was babysitting for them while they played a show at a bar in the Tampa Bay area called the Crown Lounge. I think they were touring for October at the time and pulled in around 300 people for their show. One of them (can't recall which) kept jabbering about how he'd just bought his first decent car and it had gotten covered in mud the day before he had to leave for the tour and all he could do was think about how much he wanted to get home and wash it. He said he was terrified someone would decide to wash it for him while he was gone and end up putting fine scratches in the paint. I saw them occasionally on MTV when it started up a couple of years later, but the first time I recall thinking that they were turning into a big deal was when Showtime aired the US Festival. Then just a few weeks later that Under A Blood Red Sky concert from Red Rocks, Colorado aired and suddenly it seemed like I was seeing them every time I turned on the TV. I figured they'd peaked then. I thought they'd peaked again when The Joshua Tree came out and they were the only band I can recall hearing on the radio all damn summer. I was *sure* they'd peaked when Rattle and Hum came out...etc, etc... ;-) - -Rob ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 08:57:29 +0000 (GMT) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?pamela=20the=20eighth?= Subject: Re: [AVALON] ENO The Book....
