Was gonna go see Liam in August with Richard Ashcroft at Manchester Cricket Club , but it was the day before my son's birthday so decided against it I wouldn't have been able to function the day after 😂 1

Reckon your gonna pay that for most big names now mate especially in somewhere like The Etihad (I watched JZ Beyonce there in June) Don't make any money from records/cd's anymore so charge fortunes for concerts.

Yeah,most people don't wanna buy music so the only way they can make money is concerts and merchandise.I'm old school and still buy CD's as i think the artist deserves to be paid for their work.Would be like us not getting paid at work at the end of the week. 1

If it's someone I really like I'd rather have the CD.. Used to be all part of it reading the inner sleeve on the vinyl (or cd) with downloads you own nothing . 1

I appreciate that Roo but Christ , these guys are multi millionaires already and the thought of me paying £100 and more for what would be standing tickets is too much. Added the cost of a few beers and maybe a t shirt ....that's a third of a decent priced plane ticket to bkk! , or at least 2 trips to sweden for me.

Love the old gatefold LP's with all the great artwork and pics,lyric sheet inside.I think downloads are why music has become throwaway to youngsters as they don't get that connection through having the physical album in your hands. 2

You're right of course especially if you have to stay over too add in fuel, train fair , hotel (in Manchester they charge near double when there is someone decent on in town too) I think it's more the promoters that have a say in the ticket prices etc too Edited September 28, 2018 by roomark 1

Aye, I've never mind the bollocks on picture disk. Loads of early punk vinyl, stuff like 'Love will tear us apart' original picture cover etc. No idea if they are worth anything.

Great. It got me back into Oasis after hardly listening to them since the end of the last century. Apparently Noel and Liam have been offered a massive amount to reform for one gig in Ireland. We'll see. Liam wants it despite all the insults he hurls at Noel through social media. I'd love to see Richard Ashcroft. I was listening to The Verve's Urban Hymns last night. I put it on as soon as I got back from work. 1
Sherlock Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 There's a Royal Marine Brass band playing in a church in Richmond today, and thinking of popping along and seeing it. Not quite sure where the church is though!!!

Yeah he was a brilliant bass player I'm not really into 80s bands that much because a lot of it sounds shite now, but L42 has stood the test of time no doubt. 1

We listen to Heart 80's a fair bit on the radio at work but you pretty much never hear a Level 42 song on there. Go figure.
