New York Dolls tonight, playing in the Old Vic Tunnels which are an art/performance space underneath Waterloo station.

Really looking forward to this one, despite there only being two original members of the band still alive they are well worth seeing. They currently have Earl Slick in their line up (played on Bowie's Station to Station & Young Americans as well as Lennon's Double Fantasy album). Saw them a couple of weeks ago in New York and they were great, I imagine that at a smaller more unusual venue like the tunnels they should be fantastic.

Wow...I'd love to catch that one! I didn't know Earl Slick was playing with them.

I have just been unable to resist buying tickets for the Adam Ant comeback tour.

Yeah - we made it - nice small venue - front row pew. Ms Seeger looks great and plays well. She played banjo, guitar and a couple of tunes on piano also. It was a low key show, very casual - as if she just dropped by to play in the living room.
I was particularly glad to hear 'Springhill Mine Disaster" - we learned that as kids in music class in Nova Scotia.

here's a link to an interview from last year

Just got us 2 tix for Steve Earle, June 26 here in Vancouver.

It's billed as "Steve Earle & the Dukes & Duchesses ft. Allison Moorer", which is a bit wordy, and also an indication that the lineup has changed since he last toured with The Dukes, several years ago. (Original Blackheart & Del Lord) Eric Amble is out, but the band now features former Son Volt guitarist Chris Masterson, with his wife Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle. Earle's wife Moorer on keys, also i'm guessing guitar & vocals.

No word on whether the rhythm section has changed. Kelly Looney has played bass for years, but Earle goes through drummers the way some people go through socks, but the last one was Will Rigby.

I love Steve Earle, but have always thought he could do better on the rhythm sections. He had Brady Blade on loan from Emmylou Harris' band for one tour, and he was smoking - esp. as it was with the Mark Stuart & David Steele on guitars, what a line up that was. I'm excited for the electric band with fiddle, though.

Those Seegers can sure play the banjo (other brother Mike was a stellar player too) (I hear big brother Pete can pick a song or two as well...)

Anybody interested in tickets for Duran Duran ( May 28th )? I had bought tickets as a wedding day present for my wife, but due to the ridiculuous visa regulations for non-EU-citizens, we decided to cancel the trip :-/

Where is the gig, Eckhard? Not that I'm available that night anyway, but it might be of interest to someone else...

Shame your trip won't work out. It's a long time since we've had talk of visa restrictions on these boards.

Sorry I forgot to mention it: It is in London. The O2 arena

Concerning visa restrictions: Five years ago to get a visa for Sanja meant: Filling out the form, sending photographs and form to the embassy and paysome money

2011: Filling out the form, and then travelling to the embassy ( or rather the company to which the embassy has sourced out its visa management ) where Sanja would have to give fingerprints of all fingers available and get photographed with some special biometric camera ( even though she already has biometric pictures in her passport ). And, btw, additionally that fucking information hotline charges you 2 bloody Euro per minute.
As much as I love the United Kingdom - this really sucks. And as much as we would have loved to travel to London once again: Too much is too much. We are not willing to undergo such sillyness just for three days in London.
And btw: My wife is in Germany since the mid70s, she has a permanent visa for Schengen and is married to a EU-citizen. This is just crazy.
