Going back to see the last three - Lil' Beethoven through Exotic Creatures... hope to run into more fans there - the people we've met so far have been great (and have become mates)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-58076823410630278232008-05-27T21:44:00.000+01:002008-05-27T21:44:00.000+01:00BTW mondo - you still have time to go! we're only ...BTW mondo - you still have time to go! we're only half way through!

The only people who have the back-cat to do it, are too big... your Bowies, Stones etc. They all charge an arm n a leg to go see em anyway, so it's be impossible for the fan to get to see many nights. Plus they'd have to do it at O2 or Wembley.<BR/><BR/>The great thing with Sparks is they are a bit culty - when i mention at work i'm going to see them i ALWAYS ge the reply "oh, didnt know they were still going". So they have a loyal following, but playing a 7-800 venue is viable.<BR/><BR/>Oddly, the only other person i could think of who's got the back-cat, has a hardcore following, and could do it at a sensible venue is Marc Almond! Although the memory loss he suffered from the accident means he struggles to remember the words at times, so unlikely he's attempt anything like it (good really, coz i'd have to go every night!)<BR/><BR/>Any other ideas of who could do a 20+ night album run?<BR/><BR/>PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-45623979594756810812008-05-27T16:36:00.000+01:002008-05-27T16:36:00.000+01:00I really should have gone to some of those Sparks ...I really should have gone to some of those Sparks shows - I haven't heard a bad word yet, what a great idea too, who else do you reckon should do similar (the whole catalogue)theme?Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.com
