Hurrah! But the people I've asked to accompany me either can't make it or don't want to go. Harruh!! (Are they all mad? Perhaps I should wash more frequently...) I don't know where the seats are as the tickets haven't arrived here yet, but I hope they will tomorrow morning. Or I'll start panicking. Anyway, I have a ticket going spare. It could be yours, gratis, if you email me OFF list. You'll most probably have to sit next to me all night, which you ought to think about very carefully before you reply.

In some of these shows the audience have remained seated, in others the audience have immediately stood up, some have remained seated for only half the time, irrespective of whether seating has been available/advertised/paid for, and I have always conformed to the general consensus as to how the crowd wishes to experience the show. On Saturday the crowd (at least as far as a few rows BEHIND me) all decided to stand up and enjoy the show (admittedly to my delight.) Now far from being a "bully" or a "nazi" I immediately asked her if she was OK (an would have assisted her,) as did others who were also standing all around her (I genuinely thought that she was disabled - or suddenly feeling unwell) and was met with the same hostility that they were. I noticed that her "nazi" boyfriend (lets call him Mr Doughnut) was standing & dancing and showing considerably less concern about her than I, and weighing up the fact that if I sat down it would have had little impact on the ten(ish) rows who were all standing in-front of me, decided to just briefly explain that it was a concert and sometimes that happens in concerts - she had an isle seat and could have easily seen the stage with no problem whatsoever. She was just a drama queen (yes, there are male versions of these also, before I am accused of being a sexist, bullying nazi) who, to be honest, started whinging to poop old Mr Doughnut about the view as soon as we took our seats (and sat on them!.) Mr Doughnut had the right idea in ignoring her. He seamed to enjoy his show BTW. There were plenty who remained seated in the stalls who also had a fabulous evening. She made her choice and had a thoughrouly shitty evening because, basically, the rest of the world did not revolve around her on that particular evening. I wonder Richard, have you attended any of the recent concerts, and if so have you (will you) managed to keep your frighteningly mammoth 6ft 3in frame in you're seat when all around you seam hell bent on actually enjoying themselves. If you were standing/dancing in-front of me (in the context of a show where everyone is also acting in the same manner) I would either move to a better viewpoint, or join you! Also what makes you think that she was short? Yours with enough of a sense of humour for the pair of us. Neil Jones. P.S.

Don't get me wrong. I'll do the Strand with the best of them and thoroughly agree with anyone who wants to shake a tail feather on the dance floor. Come see me some time at Uncle Bob's. But in seated venues where (in the UK at any rate) the chairs are so narrow and so closely banked together, the best most people get to do is sway from side to side or risk falling into the row in front. So I guess the best situation at Wembley is when they sell standing tickets on the floor of the arena in front of the stage and sell seats on the tiered areas for those who prefer to remain seated. But even then, someone in the front row of the seats with a perfect view will get up and oblige all behind him/her to do likewise, whether they wish to or not. At gigs which are ALL seated, this will inevitably happen. It's quite possible to enjoy Roxy Music sitting down, listening through headphones, lying in bed, etc. I'm just observing that those with St Vitus' Dance will inevitably annoy people who did not wish a pas-de-deux. As I say, it has happened that someone has stood in front and blocked my view. But not often...For my wife, who is a full 12 inches shorter, life hasn't been so kind. We had THIRD ROW seats to see David Bowie play "Look Back In Anger" at the Dominion Theatre, London in 1988 (ICA Benefit) which cost #50 each. Just before he walked on, there was a rush to the front and my wife genuinely NEVER SAW HIM AT ALL. The two rows in front (and some strays up against the stage) just formed a human wall of "dancers". She heard it all but never even glimpsed him once. It's life and life only... Anyway, is it me but is Alan Jepson ever so slightly like some Alsatian puppy in heat? When he's not trying to date every Avalonian under 30, he seems to have taken on the responsibility of replying to every single posting. He's busier than the proverbial one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest - perhaps he should throw down his crutch to jump up and down in the aisle?

A friend and I met the Mael bros in a phone box outside Harrods! They are both quite short. Would definitely suffer behind tall dancers at concerts. Having secured their autographs and gushed liberally, we arranged to meet them at their forthcoming gig in Taunton, where we then resided. Great show, but have you ever tried to explain to security that no you didn't have a pass but you were practically related to the artist and so on? Security worked too well. I still play Kimono My House occasionally, but not my copy of "A Woofer In Tweeters Clothing", even with its great rendition of Doh Ray Me! At Taunton in the early 70's, why did no-one tell me I should have gone to that Bowie concert, y'know the Ziggy one! He was considered to be a big girls blouse! Roxy were cool, but never went there so I had to wait for Ferry solo in Cardiff 1977 and Roxy at the Hammersmith Apollo in 1979. Now my kids think I'm sad, going to 2 Roxy concerts although I took my 9 year old to see Alice Cooper last month, little musical merit but a great show! However, it looks as though I'll be dragged to both Robbie Williams Cardiff shows to take the kids in stages and (thank the Lord) only ONE Hear'Say show! And they think I'm sad! I'm sure that Roxy will long outlast those acts.

Well I didn't get to the show, but a couple of friends have just phoned me to say that it was a very short set, sub 90 mins by the sound of it. Dropped "If there is something", "Avalon" and if I remember rightly "More than this". It seem that ferry may have had some vocal problems during the show and I'm sure we will hear more about this in the coming hours. Let's hope that there is no danger to any of the remaining gigs. When my friend met Ferry before the show he owned up to being very tired already, and withpossible voice problems maybe it's just a bit too much at one time. When does the US leg of the tour start? Cheers, Tom. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 22:51:35 -0000 From: "Becky Payne" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Supprt Acts I take it that you don't like the early Queen stuff then ?!

One day I hope to be able to tell my own story, I've got *so* close to meeting them a couple of times and things have interfered ! I'm actually in the Sparks Fan Club and I'm hoping that it may help with regards to meeting them in the future !(one can dream...) Is there a Roxy Music or Bryan Ferry fan club, at all ?
