Had these next two acts been on the same bill in 1981, it would have been *really* odd, but in 1988, Public Image Ltd. opened for INXS and I wasn't sure when one band stopped playing and the other started... - --Grant http://www.geocities.com/gmslegion _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 01:31:05 -0000 From: "M.

It's quite The only time I seriously sat down during a concert was for the Pet Shop Boys during their 1990/91 tour. Everyone else remained seated as well. The concert was a big theatrical production and everyone sat and watched. Until the encore when a lot of people stood up.

And it would also be show 16 after the first 15 in UK & Europe. That Toronto show would be after a 13 days break ( currently, of course ) from the previous show on July 1 in Belgium. Some tweaking and down time? Maybe a few days perhaps to ratchet up the state side PR.

It was just that it was first time I ever saw or heard them, & they sounded out of tune that night with Mercury's vocals all over the place.

And >did not Squeeze support Roxy Music in 1979 (but not in Stockholm)? It does have a slightly different character to it than the Squeeze (essentially duo) albums due to GT's principal role, but it easily ranks alongside Squeeze albums for quality. GT has also co-written with Aimee Mann and Ron Sexsmith to make up for the lack he feels due to CD's lyrics not being there anymore. I don't remember Squeeze touring with Roxy - isn't that the year the Tourists supported? It's all a blur... Richard n/p TIGT - what makes this a bit of an evergreen is the inclusion of an acoustic version of the album on a bonus CD. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 04:03:46 EDT From: Chandla911@aol.com Subject: [AVALON] Thanks for your support - I'll wear it always > < include>> I saw Divine Comedy support Tori Amos, Sailor support Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel and many more, but hard to beat will be Queen supporting Mott The Hoople at Hammersmith in 1973.
