MTT really does sound like a problem at the rehearsal 2. TSBU - is a funk monster live 3. TGPT nails the Avalon tracks completely and gives them the touch of Geordie greatness that we all know he has - PS I love Newmark too but ................... 4. Alan Spenner and Zev Katz continue the great tradition of fabulous bass players 5. 2001 tour was simply great great great 6.

Who was there? I'm reliably informed that My Little Girl made its live debut. Did it? Anyone get a recording? I can see a load of links on YouTube to stream the concert, but the actual streaming service looks a bit dodgy to me: https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=EgIIAg%253D%253D&q=bryan+ferry Anyway, if a recording does turn up, it means I'll have to rejiggle the live Manifesto! I wonder if he'll do No Strange Delight at the next show? ;) - -- http://glossoprecordclub.wordpress.com/ https://www.mixcloud.com/simongmusic/ ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V15 #1160 ****************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
