Yes!! So pleased with having a Newcastle date, no travelling for that one.

So excited for the London show Rebooked my flight so I could make it to the show.....

Anybody got experience with the Livenation presale?

hopefully some mainland EU shows too!

Well I'm definitely doing Leeds and Wolverhampton, both Satirday nights and within a couple of hours drive. Also considering a solo midweek trip to London and then back via Norwich. Never been to a gig or stopped in a hotel on my own before, but I really shouldn't let that stop me!

Definitely don't let it stop you It'll be an exciting experience I'm at the London gig with a friend, if you need company

Got my tickets for Newcastle, Leeds and Dublin!

Where did you find presales for those? I've only found London so far, which I have taken the plunge and bought!

Its an 02 pre-sale, link below;

Dammit, looks like I need to think about changing my mobile provider!

Got tickets to Leeds. I'll travel from the Basque Country so it'll be cool to meet some people while I'm there

I've booked London, Norwich, Leeds and Wolverhampton. Very pleased with Chris Farren as support, assuming that's the whole tour.

Anybody been to the Norwich venue before? Looking for a hotel nearby as I'm on my lonesome there, but can't seem to find one within a couple of miles!

Does anyone have an idea roughly what time Brian's shows usually end? Also, does Brian usually meet fans after the show or something?

he sometimes meet fans after the show...I was able to catch him once after the show...other times I waited till the bus left..so Id say its 50/50

So Brighton was a PRETTY GREAT start of the tour. Small venue, right at the beach, good vibes all round (apart from the fight at the front mid of the set), great setlist and fun storytelling.

Alex plays on his the Dead Swords songs on his own (which must take a lot of guts to get up there completely alone with new material for the first time). He had some troubles with sound in the beginning but the last few songs where we could actually hear his voice were really beautiful!

Brian and the Crowes then played Painkillers, THC material, 2 covers and even 2 Gaslight songs! They seemed very relaxed and were quite spontaneous with the setlist changes.

My personal highlight was the slow acoustic solo version of Smoke. So so so wonderful. And that might be the reason why I am now looking into flights for a few more gigs

Setlist:
+ Navesink Banks, Teenage Dream
- Georgia, Steve McQueen


Elvis acoustic

Dead Swords:

wow! looks like an awesome show! I cannot wait to see him in two weeks

I feel like whether it's with Gaslight or now after these first two solo shows that Brian tends to write more unique setlists when he's over in Europe.

Shot this last night.  Great, wide-ranging, fun and touching intro to Smoke - so although it's not the best filming, I thought some might be interested in hearing this (again).

Great show in London last night... much needed and wish I could make another but it's not likely.  
The band are so much tighter than back in April, reaffirmed my thoughts from then that he has made the right decision to go solo.  Don't get me wrong, I love TGA and will be all over tickets for any future shows that may happen, but really loving this solo thing.  

Nice touch adding a line from The Pogues' If I Should Fall From Grace With God at the end of Red Lights.  A venue they played often, and which resulted in a live album with Joe Strummer too.



Also, another version of Smoke, but without the intro.  

I wish I was there for this tour too

London on Wednesday night was excellent. I probably enjoyed the Horrible Crowes tracks more than i did his solo stuff. Which i guess shows how much Elsie has grown on me over the years.

Really looking forward to Leeds tonight, it should be brilliant.

Interesting that despite changing the setlist quite a bit from Brighton to London, it doesn't seem to have changed since, and they've played virtually the same set from London onwards. I was hoping they'd mix it up a bit so i maybe got to see something a bit different tonight. I would love to see them bring Teenage Dream out again, or Elvis or Navesink as they played in Brighton.

Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet Cover from Dublin

thanks for sharing! I like it! awesome to see both of my favorite singers/bands covering the same song! (the other band are The Killers)

I don't think this been posted yet. Here is the full Leeds show
