Spoke to someone from a local ticket office about this last week -- they'd sold just short of 100 of their 400 allocation. I think Cream holds about 900-1,000.

No need to panic for the time being ... Thinking of post gig.. Anyone any ideas ? We were thinking of either Krazy House of The Magnet. I think the first is more indie/alternative, but we went to The Magnet after the McNabb show at xmas and it had a real easy vibe, but the music was a bit clubby..

I don't hear many similarities between "Baby Hold On" and "Walk...."

Disagree. Went out to the car to listen to it (and I'm at work!) and while the bass line is two double notes, there is no slide, and the notes never go higher. I *play* bass, and I suppose the similarity didn't hit me because it's not identical enough. JD used a lot of double notes as well. Best ask Ian or the bass player, no? :-) I hate it when reviewers find *one* thing that annoys them about a record and use it to slag the whole thing. It's not enough of a ripoff for me. Thematically, it's along the lines of "Everybody Hurts" but hey, that didn't get a mention. - --Amy ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-moderated-digest V2 #121 ******************************************
