Sir Stewart Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I got hit on the head by Julian Cope's guitar as he was making his way through the crowd - by way of walking on the bar - during a song at a club show. He pat my head and apologized. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 > I don't recall you mentioning that before. it was a warm up show for the australian shows. i had to queue up for about 15 hours waiting for tickets to go on sale. ther sleepless night was worth by getting the longest show of the year with the most varied setlist. we all ended up getting sore backs from being squashed like sardines in there.

Analogman Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I had never stood in line for tickets - or to get into a show until we were at one of the Kicking Television shows in Chicago. Speaking of that, there was a dude behind us who had just got there only moments before. He is actually the voice you hear yell HEAVY METAL DRUMMER on the cd - if it is on there - it has been a long time since I listened to that album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 well, there were people that started standing in line 8 hours earlier and still couldnt get in... so maybe it was good investment! i havent listened to KT for a long time as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miss jayne Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Front row center for JGB. I did that at the Wiltern ....the picture on the tape box is of jerry's shoes under the curtain also numerous times we had beautiful tickets at GD thanks to the tribes diligence around the mail ins and the art of the envelope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
