Going to the O2 in London tonight with Mrs King, Daughter Michelle and her boyfriend Ross.
To see Pete Tong and The Orchestra performing the Ibiza Mix.

Well, I can answer the question, YES they did have his second solo deluxe for sale and for a very reasonable $40 price.
It could very easily be missed as there were PT albums put out on the table as well and the deluxe book is same size as a album.
I got a copy after the concert was over and needed to use the onsite banking machine as I only had $30 in my wallet and the 2 guys I went with did not have any cash.
Here's a good review of concert, much better than I could word.

From the previous review:
"Harrison chimed a certain bell to highlight the incident. It only happened a few times in the evening"
The Pineapple Thief concert was wonderful and you can tell they have fun with each other as Gavin Harrison did ring the bell a few times and there was some nice banter back and forth with Bruce saying come on Gavin that wasn't that bad of a mistake. Bruce said a fan gave them the bell and Gavin made use of it.
Only one show left in Seattle tonight.

1K Club - QQ Shooting Star
Last night was my last visit of 2019 to Covent Garden to see -
A great production, with the ROH orchestra sounding amazing under the baton of Antonio Pappano (leading the curtain call in my snap below) -
As one year draws to a close another beckons, with my first tranche of tickets for the new ROH season arriving today -
Happy New Year to all fans of live music!

Monday matinee, 12/30/19 Trans-Siberian Orchestra @ Allstate Arena, Rosemont, IL.
Have been meaning to post this, but have been very busy.
Perhaps the best visual concert I've ever seen. Beatles' Love in Vegas ('08) and Kraftwerk at Chicago's Riviera ('98?) are the only shows that even came close.
Joe's pick. The music y'all likely know if you've heard them. I liked the musicianship, but might have picked something else to see/hear. Great visual spectacle!

off to see the Levin Brothers on Saturday.
I'm going to see Ian McNabb solo on Saturday
Just announced: Steely Dan & Winwood touring together this summer. I'm in!!
I've seen SD, Fagen solo, and NY Rock & Roll perhaps 8 times. Once w/Winwood, twice w/McDonald.
Have seen/heard Winwood 3 times: W/SD, w/Clapton, and headlining.
Hopefully, SD & Winwood will play together on stage a bit. Last time, that didn't happen.
Also have tix for Doobies w/McDonald this year.
When we saw them together, some guy sitting near us yelled, "play Aja!" I thought, "I swear they played that a couple songs ago." Then, we heard, "uh, Al, they just played Aja!"
Yabba, dabba, Doo!!

Just got Steely Dan/Steve Winwood and Johnny Rivers tix.
Have never seen Rivers live. Heard him on Marty Stuart's RFD show. He sounded as good as ever.

I'll be seeing Elton John play tomorrow evening. In a paddock. This is one of the winery shows he's performing, as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour down here. I've been to other shows like this - called A Day On The Green - at Rochford Winery in the Yarra Valley, and at Mt. Duneed Estate west of Geelong. On every occasion, it's been a superb experience.
Ordinarily, I relax with a bottle while I'm there. Tomorrow I'll probably abstain, on account of the searing heat: with 42°C/108°F forecast for Yarra Glen, nearby, this will be the hottest concert I've ever attended. For a long time, that title belonged to a Sunday arvo at St Kilda Festival. That day, I could simply cool down with beer, though I had a sweltering tram & train ride home.
This time, I expect I'll just drink water.
I'd like to make an Elton-based joke here, about the weather being the precise opposite of Too Low For Zero. I hope the event management crew manage to keep him comfortable onstage.

Righto: I think a brief report of last night's concert might bring some of us a chuckle. Elton greeted us all with a "Good evening ..... it's f***ing hot! Thanks for showing up!". He was right: though the heat was gradually easing by that point, it would still have been 40°C/104°F, with full sun. 
I'll just touch on the show itself; his performance was as exemplary as his immaculate garb. For the devotés out there, I'm pleased to report that All The Girls Love Alice was the second song of his set.
The big news, though, is what happened about ninety minutes in. We had been settling in to the awe-inspiring multimedia light-show of thunderstorms that leads into Funeral For A Friend, and as the thunder faded into his playing, the heavens opened upon us all. That raised a cheer from the audience: the timing was superb! Then the rain got worse. Then the wind picked up. A lot. It was a strong northerly, gusting the downpour directly onto the performers. Within a couple of minutes, the crew and band had evacuated the stage and covered all the instruments. Apparently, though, not in time to prevent damage to some of the gear, we were later informed. It was well-filmed in the following two audience videos, among several others:
Then, thousands of attendees had to trudge out of the sodden grounds. Whoops! I wonder if the evening will one day be remembered alongside the infamous 1993 Calder Park GN'R concert? 27 years ago, practically to the day, and the weather pattern was uncannily similar. Still, this is a rare thing: I got to see a half-gig! All in all, a most memorable evening.

Didn't make the cut when I was buying tickets weeks ago, but I got to see TAJ MAHAL @ City Winery Nashville on Friday night! I had stopped at my guitar tech buddy's shop on Thursday to deliver a new 8 string bass neck I'd found (the old one could not be saved) to restore this bass. I told him about seeing David Lindley in Solana Beach the week before. He casually mentioned that Rob Ickles was the 2nd best dobro player behind Jerry Douglas. Told me he was playing Friday night along with guitarist Trey Hensley, if I want to go he'd see about getting me on the guest list. Sure! Then I get home and find they are both opening for and playing with Taj Mahal! They were awesome so I bought their new CD and poster. They didn't make it to the merch table but my tech buddy said he'd call me when they came out to his store. This was the late show and it was mighty fine! Trey and Rob's new record cover shown. These guys are killer players.
Always wanted to see Taj Mahal, and I really like Jerry Douglas so if Rob Ickles is 2nd to him on Dobro that would be another great set.
I also accidentally saw Taj Mahal in a little dance hall near Santa Fe New Mexico in 1980 going cross-country at the holidays. Another fun evening.

You’re going to see Van de Graaff generator? Holy hell!
Yep, had to go I'd never seen them before and its still 3 of the original members!
The Classic Rock Show at the St Albans Arena. Terrific concert, immaculate playing and the band looked as though they were having as much fun as the audience. Highly recommended if you get a chance to see them.
