  2. Barcelona Never been. Would check out that bar where Manu Chau hangs out. Rome Climb to the very top of St Peters. See the Sistine Chapel - if only for the fun of observing the whispers rise to a buzz rise to chatter before the periodic "Please be quiet" messages come over the PA. A trip down into the catacombs is interesting. Ice cream at the Trevi Fountain at night - throwing your coin in over your shoulder. Venice Must stay overnight - entirely nicer atmosphere once the crowds have dispersed. Milan Comparatively not too much apart from the Cathedral - get up on the roof amongst the g
  3. How old is he? Writes very well for someone who looks as young as that, so good job school/parents/him. That said, I think I'll make a point of never going to that blog again - leave it to the kids. Bit creepy otherwise.
  4. "Respectable" BTW, about the last really good thing the Stones did.
  5. The Lost Beatles Interview Tuesday 1 July 2008 13:30-14:00 (Radio 4 FM) Repeated: Saturday 5 July 2008 15:30-16:00 (Radio 4 FM) Sixties star Helen Shapiro presents the story of a lost TV interview with the Beatles that was recorded in April 1964 and recently found languishing in a rusty film can in a garage in South London. Experts say it's the earliest surviving interview where Lennon and McCartney talk about how they met and discuss the song writing process. With contributions from the original TV interviewer Paul Young - who had never seen the footage, which was part of a regional telev
  6. This nostalgia thread isn't as good as the one that was here 6 years ago.

  8. After one of those other threads a while ago, and just after watching certain official DVD footage, as a 5 minute exercise I tried to locate the place. A first page search hit on Google and Google Earth had me zoomed in to the exact location, easily identifiable from the satellite pictures. Too late for them to do something about that even if they were bothered. N.B. I have no interest in going there.

    New UK dates

    They seem to like Spain ... Bounder: Anyway, about the holiday... Smoketoomuch: Well, yes, I've been on package tours many times, so your advert really bought my eye. Bounder: Ah good. Smoketoomuch: Yes, you're quite right, I'm fed up with being treated like a sheep, I mean what's the point of going abroad if you're just another tourist carted round in buses, surrounded by sweaty mindless oafs from Kettering and Boventry... Bounder: Absolutel.. Smoketoomuch: ...in their cloth caps and their cardigans and their transistor radios and their 'Sunday Mirrors', complaining about th
  14. My favorite set ever from Glastonbury - its such a tonic. This is just a segment - not the best of his songs shown here of course - but just feel the love for Brian. And all that backing band deserve to be so much credit for doing the songs justice in the last few years to support Brian. Here's another one (love the girl crowd surfing on top of a surf board):- I was smiling for at least a week after seeing the whole performance.
  15. Thank goodness there weren't 4 options.
  16. Also, at what point during the recording process does the band get to hear the kind of explanation of songs as given during the SBS DVD interview segments - if at all? Bits of information given out as they ask, a sit down and 'let me tell you about this one' minute or two. Left up to their interpretations? How does it happen.
  17. Who decided to cover The Walton's Theme? (as on the bonus tracks of my copy of March ...). If it wasn't JT I'm going to cry.
  18. It's a wonder it can take off with balls that big.
