When last I saw Roxy live (the last USA tour), "Street Life" got cut down substantially -- they omitted everything from "Back to nature boys..." to "...strictly no sale." The first time it happened, I thought Ferry just fluffed the lyrics, but every subsequent performance made the same change. Why, I don't know -- the vocals aren't particularly challenging, and the omitted lyrics are great. Did the same thing happen this tour? 2. Sorry that the reviews generally describe Ferry as diffident and unengaged. I wonder if he was preoccupied with the fact that he should be touring solo right now to prop up "Olympia"? 3. What happened to the live arrangement of "To Turn You On"? It's one of my favorite post-1975 Ferry compositions and it sounded lush and dreamy on "Avalon." Did the live version take too many liberties? 4. Same for "2HB," another song I have never heard live or recorded live. 5. How did "The Main Thing" sound live? Thanks from a Jealous Guy on the wrong side of the Atlantic. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 08:07:47 +0000 From: Tracy Connell Subject: [AVALON] 2 FYP Poster Did anyone else realise that there were two FYP signed posters? I bought one in Glasgow which was gold and black, but at the o2 they had them in silver and black - so I HAD to buy another one! OMG! Btw, If anyone has a spare gold one I know someone with a spare silver one to swap.

The BF Bass single sold out within a couple of minutes. I managed to get one as soon as they brought them out :) ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 08:49:06 +0000 From: Tracy Connell Subject: RE: [AVALON] 2 FYP Poster The only one I know for sale is #35 plus p+p :o ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 09:04:12 -0000 From: "Colette Robertson" Subject: RE: [AVALON] 2 FYP Poster On the same subject it appears than some only have 3 band members signatures and I have heard that some only signed by BF. I wish we were offered the choice at Glasgow. Wonder if it was random or if they ran out of gold and moved on to silver? Anyway, not good if you bought one not checking at the time and then discover missing signatures.
