Crazy money now. A shame , but... It's getting daft now. I wanted to go and see Stevie Nicks in Manchester in June this year but the price put me off. Tickets cost around £250 up to £404 for a seat!!! Add on the cost of travelling from Sweden, hotel etc... Just not worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy money now. A shame , but... I had a conversation with wifey and for whatever reason she did'nt want to go, probaly the best outcome as i'm not convinced many PF songs would feature. At that sort of price i would want to be guaranteed to hear the songs we both really like. FF will be good especially at that price, enjoy enjoy...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what happens when people don’t pay for music anymore, it’s how they make money. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Gary, BIG thanks for that. I have never seen or heard that before, parts of the guitar playing I thought I recognised from another tune, but WOW, how good was that? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was released in 1989 and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics was the original guitarist. It reached No6 on the UK chart and No11 on the American Billboard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
