Lemonade Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 And a Friday as well. Lovely stuff. 3 and a half years is too long.I've only seen him once before and it was a rushed 40 minute set in mid afternoon in a tent at T In The Park 2008. Looking forward to this fo sho. What's the O2 Academy? Is that the same as the Carling Academy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diarmaid Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yeah, same place. Saw him last same place 2007, the royal concert hall before that 2005. Close to 3 hour set. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I bought a ticket for Glasgow and it came to a purse-raping 31. It's definitely worth it though, as even with absolutely shite sound last time, he's still one of the most interesting live acts I've seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these booking fees and what not are ludicrous. I get tickets through my RBS Royalties account with a discount so 2 tickets were 45 in the end but still pretty dear. Anyway, I'm sure it'll be 31 worth of enjoyment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 You'll be annoyed if it ends up only being 30 worth of enjoyment. Waste of a pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I had no idea that he was popular enough to command such a high ticket price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diarmaid Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I had no idea that he was popular enough to command such a high ticket price!When I first saw him in 2005 it was 'only' 17 quid. Fuck knows how expensive hes going to be next time he returns after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 To be fair, I think it's mainly ticketbastard,com and such like that've upped their services charges and the like. He was the same price in 2007 (25) but I don't remember having to pay totally over the odds? Though, I could've just been blinded by the want to see him back then, plus I had a job and lived at home.

Lemonade Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I downloaded "Lonely Avenue" last night it's got some lovely tunes on it but it's not the same. I rarely pay any attention to lyrics when I'm listening to music but Ben Folds is one of the few who I actually do pay attention to because he's a great lyricist, so listening to the new album and knowing someone else wrote the lyrics just isn't the same. Good album like but no Whatever And Ever Amen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I hope he takes Regina Spektor as a surprise guest. It's never going to happen, but, I don't really like the current support, so I can live in hope.This should be good. I hope it's good.

diarmaid Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 At least its not the boring cunt shite that is Clem Snide who he brought the last two tours.Though having said that, now having listened to her, shes a bit of a boring cunt shite too. He should just play without support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
