I couldn't see just one Crowded House show, so tonight it was off to Boston for the final night of the tour. "Music is magic" said Neil Finn as he left the stage. Indeed.
We just saw it last night with friends who came from Sweden. Amazing show though all are sworn to secrecy. Chunneling today to Paris, then Finland, Oslo, and 2 weeks in Sweden. Longest vacation since.......college!Just got back to the states yesterday after a week in England. While in London we caught the Abba Voyage “tour”.
For those of you who don’t know, Abba created a live show utilizing a ten-piece live band and avatars of themselves (“ABBAtars”). The performance of the avatars was created by 160 cameras recording the four members wearing motion sensor body suits. Being in their ‘70s and never being a band that liked to tour, the avatars do the performing for them. A one-of-a-kind theatre was designed specifically for the show and is currently in London where it will run presumably until they decide it’s time to take the show - and the theatre - to another city.
All that being said, if you are at all skeptical please believe me: you’ve never seen anything like this. I could go on, but there aren’t words to describe the thrilling experience they’ve created. I literally cried at moments.
If you ever find yourself near London, do yourself a favor and make room in your schedule for this show.

For sure, can't wait to see/hear them.He also mentioned that a new season of Live From Daryl's House will be airing soon and said that Robert Fripp will be the guest on one episode. Should be interesting.
Thanks for this post. I am heading to Wimbledon this Summer and had already started considering going to this show.Just got back to the states yesterday after a week in England. While in London we caught the Abba Voyage “tour”.

Chris Martin
What a top bloke he is.
Saw Cold Play's show in Cardiff, on Tuesday.
Firstly, the 2 hour show was utterly breath taking.
Secondly, they had a guest join them, Kelly Jones, Stereophonic.
Last but possibly the best moment, was when Chris chose a lad in the crowd to join him on stage as he saw his sign which said he lost his best friend recently.
They sang together and Chris asked him about his friend...he only passed away a month ago!!
Everyone was in total shock and disbelief. Including Chris.
Not a dry eye in the house.
Cold Play are just made for big arena's.
Cardiffs Principality Staduim was bursting at the seems with the audience singing along to every number.
What a night.View attachment 92531
And it was the first of 3 consecutive sold out, shows in Cardiff.Wow! I must be a dope, I had no idea they could fill a stadium.
I missed getting to the Jeff Beck gig in Cardiff because Ed (the same song ) Sheeran was playing 3 nights at the Principality Stadium and the traffic queues getting into Wales let alone Cardiff were horrendous. I'd didn't particularly worry as I thought well I'll see him next tour, did the same with Led Zep in '79And it was the first of 3 consecutive sold out, shows in Cardiff.
Every stadium is always oversubscribed.
When you see the show, you can see why.
I was lucky to get tickets, don't know what it's like in the states but here you really have to crunch the numbers quickly to get a chance of getting them.
A case in point being I just managed to get 2 tickets today to see The Falcons play the Jaguars at Wembley, in October, this year. Had to jump through plenty of hoops to secure them. And they ain't cheap either.
First live NFL game.
Been watching on the TV since 1984.
A treat for my son. Even if he is a Packers fan!!
So, it was just a Doobie Brother? (Of the originals)Doobie Brothers last night in Reno.
Unfortunately, Tom Johnston is temporarily off the tour due to back problems that require surgery.
How was it, Will?Off to see Suzanne Ciani in a balmy London tonight. The performance is in quadraphonic - so should be interesting!
I bet they don't play very loud...Rammstein…in a week
