Thomsen" Subject: [AVALON] Review of The Danish Weekend Damn! And I thought that I had a pretty good review coming up for all Avalonians. Then I read O'Briens and Reeceys observations from the weekend. And they are absolutely worldclass, though the parts on alcoholic drinks and the beautiful Danish girls, perhaps was a little too much in focus! But when they grow old and bald, perhaps they will have their eyes on more important things! Are the Roxy/Ferry tours basicly just an excuse for these guys to have a chance for a few goodnightdrinks? I just can't wait for the next reviews from "The Dynamic Duo"!. Perhaps I can try to match them, when I have frontseat tickets at the Copenhagen show in September (sadly the same evening as Jean Michel Jarre plays a huge concert in my hometown area. A 2.5 mill. # project for one evening. But Jarre was never an option). Well, perhaps I will have some trouble focusing on the music, as I once again will be joined by the stunningly beautiful danish girl Gitte! By the way, I think the dropped microphone wire was just an excuse from Mr. Ferry to get a closer look at Gitte in the frontrow at the Odense gig! And The Great Paul Thompson also spotted her with the result that he lost over half the drumset. Gitte was later that evening arrested by the Danish police for being "a danger to the public by simply being nice". Saturday I was joined (perhaps the correct word would be "jointed" by golfbuddy Claus from my hometown. He had never seen "Uncle Ferry" live, so he was totally jawdropped after the show. As he said, "That was the best Ferry show he had ever seen". But nice to introduce a friend to the Ferry/Roxy world. As a gesture of friendship, he immeadeatly invited me to the Bowie concert in Denmark in July! The Jellingshow was by miles the better of the two shows. The stage was more spacious and there was no Gitte to distract the band, so the music really turned on the crowd. I bet he got some new fans this evening. And the local recordshops better start building up stocks of Ferry/Roxy things! Reecey, if you could move your shop to the Jelling/Vejle area, you should be able to retire early and devote your time to going to these concerts. Perhaps a local shop here? "Listen, too" could be the name of the shop. Nothing more to add from Denmark at this point. I will try to get some newspaper reviews as they turn up. But what a great way to start my "Summer of music". Next friday Elton John in Copenhagen, Bowie in Horsens, Simple Minds near my hometown of Aalborg and Ferry again in Copenhagen and Paris. No "black september here"! Stefanzanera (whose brothers name is Poul Thomsen, really!) ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V7 #179 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
