Late November Update
Hi all
Just a quick update with a bit of site news and that all important “what’s the next show?” news.
Site Comments
I’ve made a small change to commenting on shows on the website - it was open to anyone before but is now only open to those with a google account. Allowing people to post anonymously encourages people to post any old nonsense and I was spending more and more time deleting those and marking them as spam. And some is pretty vile. So, regrettably, while I do always encourage feedback (even negative, if it’s constructive), comments on the pages are now only open to those with google accounts.
I suppose anyone twisted enough to call me an “anal rapist” (yeah, seriously) might just be stupid enough to open a google account to do so but he’ll have to work harder, at least. And it will still get deleted and marked as spam before publication, so you guys will still see nothing.
The Next Show
On to more positive things now - the next show. On and off this year I’ve been restoring Elton John live recordings for a client. And it struck me that one of these would actually fit in very well on the site. I asked my client’s permission to add it to the site and he was happy to allow it. So, coming in a few days, is a great gig - part FM recording, part TV broadcast, of the Elton John band rocking out at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1974, in superb stereo sound quality. I will never claim to be Elton’s number 1 fan but he always seems to give people their money’s worth - most gigs are at least 2 hours long (this one is about 2 hours 20 minutes). And back then, he was an energetic and lively performer - and his band were superb. It’s a great gig.
And for those of you who only like bands with synths - well there’s certainly much more of THOSE coming soon too!
Until next time, have a great weekend.
Cheers!
Phil
