Having bitten the, slightly tarnished, bullet and got a ticket, does anybody need a lift down to 'The Peoples Republic' from Durham. :D

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I just need ONE more tour, weebleswobble! I'm finally have the time and capital to follow a tour. Just waiting for the freedom! And yes, I'll collect all the setlists!

Actually, the last item on my "to do before dying" list is to come to terms with the fact that I'll probably never do all of them. But, Marty...

I'm a bit worried if the voice will last after some 30 consecutive dates.
I take it that you don't intend to go to the Peru gig then ?

The megabus costs a tenner. National Express is cheaper and coaches leave very half hour:
12:00 - £5
12:30 - £7
13:00 - £5

I think the Leeds Academy is all-standing.

IIRC there are some seats on the balcony, mostly opposite the stage. There's some round the wings as well, but only one row's worth. Otherwise is standing upstairs as well.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

hmmm...upstairs standing isn't any better really if the downstairs sells out. last time i saw them at rock city i was astounded and frankly disgusted that aside from the front of the main dancefloor (pit) the place was chocker-block full of miserable gothic bastards who looked like they were being forced to watch the televised mass executions of their dearest families and friends on the tv's at dixons from out side in the rain.

fuck it- i'm going sell my comics collection to the first person who offers me half of what it's worth. except my sandmans. :evil:
