All these years with all these trips I have been a regular customer of that side, but, understandably I hadn't used it for three years. So, they gave me a special gift. A free taxi ride from the airport to my hotel! Now that can cost more than 70GBP! And the first thing I noticed when I arrived at my hotel was a Ukrainian flag at a window of a nearby building.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCblMZcV_12BHDYdNaqrnuq9vEdYkB3v1O23OId54z9tqu0ylE8s0MnfbvHAmPlcvJMZjTFYaK4rxAuKVlCjCvQP48jdfDgjg1w01d3JcUvJzsPPAOlcmBwU9I6utdxZ5HUcOFrvT7SZmRgmJOMQxhSJJgfyTJ60E7mOWps_PdYp6FaLSN9VH4C27L194/s4896/DSC03889.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCblMZcV_12BHDYdNaqrnuq9vEdYkB3v1O23OId54z9tqu0ylE8s0MnfbvHAmPlcvJMZjTFYaK4rxAuKVlCjCvQP48jdfDgjg1w01d3JcUvJzsPPAOlcmBwU9I6utdxZ5HUcOFrvT7SZmRgmJOMQxhSJJgfyTJ60E7mOWps_PdYp6FaLSN9VH4C27L194/w400-h225/DSC03889.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">My hotel was close to New Oxford Street. That meant that it was a 5 minute walk to Tottenham Court Road, and from then onwards the beginning of "proper" Oxford Street. That meant I was right there in the city centre. But that also meant something else : I could save a lot of money because I wouldn't have to use public transport. Because as early as 2016 I had noticed how expensive the London Underground had become. But from my location, I could actually walk to Hyde Park where I would have to go on the days that I would be attending the BST Hyde Park festival.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhghHhENgbsNyix0ntuOUe52x7FzQss5GUzpcjDdqHV-A34dWk4199a__9O6gv01o0PcZaJ-wBa_uJsPgYAQae58EmCNqXGxaC-84eZxtd2_TC1zUqcinaVX8oTB3TBiB1_5tqWjX5cisx9dXuxCWzCKt9ghmpaTraAs8NM8Zm4fbScDQBUSTyD5bgaPrk/s4896/DSC03895.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhghHhENgbsNyix0ntuOUe52x7FzQss5GUzpcjDdqHV-A34dWk4199a__9O6gv01o0PcZaJ-wBa_uJsPgYAQae58EmCNqXGxaC-84eZxtd2_TC1zUqcinaVX8oTB3TBiB1_5tqWjX5cisx9dXuxCWzCKt9ghmpaTraAs8NM8Zm4fbScDQBUSTyD5bgaPrk/w400-h225/DSC03895.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I didn't have to go to Hyde Park on my first evening there, but I took a walk along Oxford Street to catch up on London life.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBozVTZ2avSlq6WNnhm6i03f5gsWnVxkQoXnjtUklbV59dTbZgWNgBJApdu6yb5XhRk0W_TW5xt_fdeZRBojpKRs6dh_MCtaOeKZMeSlHYqEKwPLRnl8v8TEgOkwWhiH3QYn4w-_ugXbSUrue_4scoKFpZtLoGSeJlvuMVZJmYNbha2Q4aCSC_MaBOBQ/s4896/DSC03900.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBozVTZ2avSlq6WNnhm6i03f5gsWnVxkQoXnjtUklbV59dTbZgWNgBJApdu6yb5XhRk0W_TW5xt_fdeZRBojpKRs6dh_MCtaOeKZMeSlHYqEKwPLRnl8v8TEgOkwWhiH3QYn4w-_ugXbSUrue_4scoKFpZtLoGSeJlvuMVZJmYNbha2Q4aCSC_MaBOBQ/w400-h225/DSC03900.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBszjxnG-am-N5CXGEVqgnsaQyN3WLJhQXg0wtVUz9STK9S4xzdHeWX3oxbIzSS59SR6ki1cE3IUZgXxk8GC2imV3ZD3dc6LEFiz4YR1tEUQD9QHcTex1CYBxTu0LZTLUOQaobIK14e5s2v7LgT0C8hiTNaBdmigNx1V25rDbM6FKwWesVZA45WgJrAus/s4896/DSC03896.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBszjxnG-am-N5CXGEVqgnsaQyN3WLJhQXg0wtVUz9STK9S4xzdHeWX3oxbIzSS59SR6ki1cE3IUZgXxk8GC2imV3ZD3dc6LEFiz4YR1tEUQD9QHcTex1CYBxTu0LZTLUOQaobIK14e5s2v7LgT0C8hiTNaBdmigNx1V25rDbM6FKwWesVZA45WgJrAus/w400-h225/DSC03896.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /> </div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Imagine my surprise when one of the kiosks I encountered was selling Greek food!</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8ur0vYuYwXFul3Q4fQL59pFXY_R1w67el87sTyF-lQZu1qraTo737uFF1XzdDFij__-CINMz7olq2QAoLXZYmJ8Gte9bjoOEmWN8L39heBKrLo9QH62489MbNXoVb6H_P7wGp0KJGpi5YY3efDElYCq6gIlsneZUZ9wVTI4hkK_E4nDsB5jAe4SxU-M/s4896/DSC03898.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8ur0vYuYwXFul3Q4fQL59pFXY_R1w67el87sTyF-lQZu1qraTo737uFF1XzdDFij__-CINMz7olq2QAoLXZYmJ8Gte9bjoOEmWN8L39heBKrLo9QH62489MbNXoVb6H_P7wGp0KJGpi5YY3efDElYCq6gIlsneZUZ9wVTI4hkK_E4nDsB5jAe4SxU-M/w400-h225/DSC03898.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The next morning, after having breakfast I started walking towards Hyde Park.

was on that day's walk that I discovered Takis. I saw this particular
display and was intrigued because in Greek "Takis" is a male name. They
have nothing to do with Greece of course. I bought one out of curiosity
and when I tried it, even though I realized that they might not be a
very healthy snack and they might contain plenty of artificial colours, I
loved them because they were extremely spicy!. So I do eat them, but in

We had been lucky so far with hot and sunny weather, but finally the rain came. It had rained a bit before I set off, but when I started walking it had calmed down. I had arranged to meet one of my Facebook Bruce friends outside Hyde Park and when we got inside a cafe it started raining cats and dogs. I had come prepared with a poncho which I wore inside the park (where I met another Facebook Bruce friend) and gradually the rain stopped and we were able to enjoy <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2023/09/BST-Hyde-Park-2023-Bruce-Springsteen-2.html">Bruce and The E Street Band</a> in all their glory!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

So, on this, the coldest day of the winter I am writing about the week I spent in Terni as a guest in my friend's house after we had seen <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Bruce%20Springsteen">Bruce</a> live in <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Monza">Monza</a>. That particular concert was such a tiring and exhausting experience, what with all the kilometres we had to walk, that we needed to spend a week doing absolutely nothing. And that's exactly what we did.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, the day after the concert we left <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Milano">Milano</a> and took the train down to <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Rome">Rome</a>. From Rome, Terni is only about an hour away. You have to be careful, though. Trains for Terni leave from the very last platform of Rome's Stazione Termini, which is a fair distance away from the entrance, So there was a lot more walking to do, what with carrying our luggage and all. Terni is on the same line as <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Ancona">Ancona</a>, so I had passed through it in 2015 on my way to the <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/12/greeks-in-debt-crisis-want-to-dance.html">Belle And Sebastian concert</a> that year and I knew about that particular platform.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgij2sZXZsXzsZr1Uj0dZy7csoMmPPzFvNUV-GCUeFCY-185V7inLzn1t6J5awD_wrjOqL1LKkWgXAHmtiO4vYBFAoVTaROdvzAWrxql1TMgFk1bB0MW7XezGqewoNcgA3_DpQ5iarGfretRG8ISl-Q4bNcfVZar6eWRtB5Od8-kHxNkGcxBG2UHR6h5A8/s4896/DSC04868.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgij2sZXZsXzsZr1Uj0dZy7csoMmPPzFvNUV-GCUeFCY-185V7inLzn1t6J5awD_wrjOqL1LKkWgXAHmtiO4vYBFAoVTaROdvzAWrxql1TMgFk1bB0MW7XezGqewoNcgA3_DpQ5iarGfretRG8ISl-Q4bNcfVZar6eWRtB5Od8-kHxNkGcxBG2UHR6h5A8/w400-h225/DSC04868.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFbZB9f_v8Tr3GoObJHOwGpkO744dBKMUZDkn4M_d0V_sPK3cEUQ_bg9xn5U-8NWcwgemKL1BsjSx1KPdwhV7wMu6pKdclHiwijgNlQyT3plFNM1A4FIOtbJb5I_pSaZLR1Q0ocAxoE0pUZ-H08bDEBe9wSBZSg-UN-mOzx50cACDfo48AbMyfr9lABR8/s4896/DSC04874.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFbZB9f_v8Tr3GoObJHOwGpkO744dBKMUZDkn4M_d0V_sPK3cEUQ_bg9xn5U-8NWcwgemKL1BsjSx1KPdwhV7wMu6pKdclHiwijgNlQyT3plFNM1A4FIOtbJb5I_pSaZLR1Q0ocAxoE0pUZ-H08bDEBe9wSBZSg-UN-mOzx50cACDfo48AbMyfr9lABR8/w400-h225/DSC04874.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When we arrived there I noticed a strange monument just opposite the station.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwp29i88SHMaYsb5yd29WOBOy184-_0r5bXFkDX-UMgnDL7hyphenhyphen1ZGgndsSHWOl0fOtnj7DFf-L1z7Y2ui00woreWoM8FeaHqLIvQpaA7J6vf68eZjtRoGrgDm22AwO33EnXGDe70oIr7JN6TAmSO3oqGapPtwfpaw7g9ld0_Aezm4foMp_vTXP2Z1NfgKw/s4896/DSC04873.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwp29i88SHMaYsb5yd29WOBOy184-_0r5bXFkDX-UMgnDL7hyphenhyphen1ZGgndsSHWOl0fOtnj7DFf-L1z7Y2ui00woreWoM8FeaHqLIvQpaA7J6vf68eZjtRoGrgDm22AwO33EnXGDe70oIr7JN6TAmSO3oqGapPtwfpaw7g9ld0_Aezm4foMp_vTXP2Z1NfgKw/w400-h225/DSC04873.JPG" width="400" /></a> <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The plaque at its base informed us that it was a hydraulic press from the Terni Steel Works, in use until 1993.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8MaIgiK2Ab1jztyMIb-m_6EmKwIvT_E9N6W-4oFaKokED0SU4kj_qmdk1loZvsEbt8fXPQf0KyDlgx9ySGfQeNS3drlz0ulP-taFV8da_TdVZ5GHZenDwJYU7ZNnG33mW1_9FUBELJY-1vIVE8pjkF80q3HeC_t_VYW-Q1mJyzOa_dY0EkOH4Zo7bF3Q/s4896/DSC04876.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8MaIgiK2Ab1jztyMIb-m_6EmKwIvT_E9N6W-4oFaKokED0SU4kj_qmdk1loZvsEbt8fXPQf0KyDlgx9ySGfQeNS3drlz0ulP-taFV8da_TdVZ5GHZenDwJYU7ZNnG33mW1_9FUBELJY-1vIVE8pjkF80q3HeC_t_VYW-Q1mJyzOa_dY0EkOH4Zo7bF3Q/w400-h225/DSC04876.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The next thing to do was find the house.

I do attend sports events every once in a while, though, most notably Basketball European and World Championships (with a Final Four thrown in the mix) and a Euro 2008 match in Salzburg. But the football match I attended in August was definitely an important one, worth writing a blog post about: The 2023 UEFA Super Cup final. This is a match between the Champions League winner and the Europa League winner. Every year I go into a lot of trouble in order to find a TV channel or a web site to see it. This year, as I was searching for the channel that would show it, I realized that I didn't need one. It would be held here in Greece. So, I applied for a ticket, didn't get one, but when some of the successful applicants did not pick up theirs, I finally got one. I was supporting Manchester City that night, because even though I am an Arsenal fan, I usually support the English teams (apart from Tot****am) on international games. I had actually been to the Manchester City store on <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2016/07/party-like-its-1989-stone-roses-in.html">my last visit to Manchester back in 2016</a> when I went to see <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2016/07/party-like-its-1989-stone-roses-in.html">The Stone Roses at Manchester City's stadium</a>! And since I had already been to matches where Arsenal and Manchester United had played, City was one team that I had never seen "live". <br /></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">As with every major international sports tournament, this was a celebration and a chance to meet people from other countries in one's city. My first stop on that day was Thissio where a big replica of the cup was on display.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioOeCNMCRJa4WUGc-jpPz1yLyDF6KE5gnyEuWbcoJ_fm090c1dQox1Unf2Vc4H2iqcHFQfUUrCHerCcjTMhs32Dlqkc_hplsvzJ3_788TQn2Kpvwdi1zz_Voi57gBLNpqB_1x4l1V1l1lrdZhuLL_RV3xqZJ2amLICk1C8u1lxEyFEoiloPiGAA-EgWJA/s4896/DSC05342.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioOeCNMCRJa4WUGc-jpPz1yLyDF6KE5gnyEuWbcoJ_fm090c1dQox1Unf2Vc4H2iqcHFQfUUrCHerCcjTMhs32Dlqkc_hplsvzJ3_788TQn2Kpvwdi1zz_Voi57gBLNpqB_1x4l1V1l1lrdZhuLL_RV3xqZJ2amLICk1C8u1lxEyFEoiloPiGAA-EgWJA/w400-h225/DSC05342.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My next stop was Piraeus, close to Karaiskaki Stadium where the final was taking place in order to visit the Fan Festival.

And I had to see him in <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Italy">the country</a> where I usually see him. And what's more, this time I would have good company.<br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, everything that could go wrong had already started to go wrong. First of all, I didn't know until almost the last minute if one of my two friends would manage to come. As a result, by the time she confirmed, there was no accommodation left in Monza, plus my usual hotel in Milan was full. I managed to find something on the outskirts of Milan. And then, when I arrived there, there was a severe thunderstorm over <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Milano">Milan</a> (which we experienced while eating at Naviglio Grande) and that meant that flights were suspended so that my other friend was stuck in an airport in Skopje. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVl9h2HVYU-6LpKls33wKUc19_GuALm8fW2izj9UxsQ_hlZ167i6XFsOZjOUvgdEXUOnGi9gaiIuqjf0Wzj-aARwAeNU0FK3Dpwh1e3_v2sHqMXDZs9FASIvKPdz7uscpZvptkk8F8YjuUqLEI_GOr-aGJBffUQg4DHqY-a9qYDAvu_e2uW9d5HUOpdAk/s4896/DSC04766.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVl9h2HVYU-6LpKls33wKUc19_GuALm8fW2izj9UxsQ_hlZ167i6XFsOZjOUvgdEXUOnGi9gaiIuqjf0Wzj-aARwAeNU0FK3Dpwh1e3_v2sHqMXDZs9FASIvKPdz7uscpZvptkk8F8YjuUqLEI_GOr-aGJBffUQg4DHqY-a9qYDAvu_e2uW9d5HUOpdAk/w400-h225/DSC04766.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Eventually, she did manage to arrive early the next morning (the day of the concert).

The next day we took a train to Rome and from there another one to Terni for a few days well-earned relaxation somewhere in the heart of Italy...<br /></div><div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGUKNqv-vg9MMAW2ZLYHfakMPvX9p8SW_E-tC6hFgeEOFgDfBy5aUG5ZFmNEkFois3bCR1euQWCxXLuIklHfBPHsoK9LYdEAKMUi4y7vNZqT0Xvfd2yOgX68noItVSJuLriWqbLyuN_S_5NLFobY91Hbk7ObRqq7oCWUaM9pX4nWkv0pAwQdk0aINo6BY/s2385/BRUCE%20SPRINGSTEEN%20Ticket%20(Censored).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="959" data-original-width="2385" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGUKNqv-vg9MMAW2ZLYHfakMPvX9p8SW_E-tC6hFgeEOFgDfBy5aUG5ZFmNEkFois3bCR1euQWCxXLuIklHfBPHsoK9LYdEAKMUi4y7vNZqT0Xvfd2yOgX68noItVSJuLriWqbLyuN_S_5NLFobY91Hbk7ObRqq7oCWUaM9pX4nWkv0pAwQdk0aINo6BY/w400-h161/BRUCE%20SPRINGSTEEN%20Ticket%20(Censored).png" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">SETLIST:<br />01.

It was one concert, usually during the summer, and usually at the Olympic Stadium, that was the biggest event of that year. In 1998 it was <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-first-time-i-saw-rolling-stones.html">The Rolling Stones</a> (of course). In 2007 it was <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2017/10/continuing-on-series-of-concerts-that-i.html">George Michael</a>. In 2008 it was <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2018/10/madonna-sticky-sweet-live-in-athens-in.html">Madonna</a>. In 2009 it was <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2019/06/acdc-live-in-athens-in-2009.html">AC/DC</a>. In 2010 it was <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2017/09/u2-live-under-greek-blue-sky.html">U2</a>. In 2011 it was <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2011/12/blog-post_25.html">Bon Jovi</a>. Well, in 2023 it was definitely Guns N' Roses!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Well, Axl Rose had already played in Greece with what he called "Guns N' Roses", but we all know that that wasn't the real GNR. What we wanted to see was the original line-up and when that reformed a few years ago, I knew that I had to see them. I had already been thinking of planning a trip abroad, but sometime during last winter I got lucky. They announced that they would be coming to Greece. I secured my ticket early enough (making sure they didn't clash with Bruce) and sat back and waited for the summer to come.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Olfx6k4IBfdkMse55UcK8EiazGQTXIujk_yk1kHBiOuBL6q2voy8cjp6Tn_WKHUp0B4SdBI1shpOMZE3f4QkE5HcRqJLfBpOr63h-KmxcIXGLZFWaMziTShwJR721hyphenhyphenOghQ74yuuHgLimDbQg-Y7_-0TDGB82si4Ktcn7LBHW_aamCHH444UHe3Epe4/s4896/DSC04594.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Olfx6k4IBfdkMse55UcK8EiazGQTXIujk_yk1kHBiOuBL6q2voy8cjp6Tn_WKHUp0B4SdBI1shpOMZE3f4QkE5HcRqJLfBpOr63h-KmxcIXGLZFWaMziTShwJR721hyphenhyphenOghQ74yuuHgLimDbQg-Y7_-0TDGB82si4Ktcn7LBHW_aamCHH444UHe3Epe4/w400-h225/DSC04594.JPG" width="400" /></a> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPZ_h_QhFnatlpXLPGawVwMhcjNudGdlRIIm5emDIu854fWjzlzE1b-0BkBZ-klcPUyvytVtI4OiOo1t3Nq_dVjrYdC46LkW0Rvu7l6dAgky57vFViITY1Eup_pmWVBs9S2-YykSov_5a_qRx0Oj6VGSnNg-0oXr8WJoS-QFXoOMU6C4kK-eOsuY6_MpM/s4896/DSC04596.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPZ_h_QhFnatlpXLPGawVwMhcjNudGdlRIIm5emDIu854fWjzlzE1b-0BkBZ-klcPUyvytVtI4OiOo1t3Nq_dVjrYdC46LkW0Rvu7l6dAgky57vFViITY1Eup_pmWVBs9S2-YykSov_5a_qRx0Oj6VGSnNg-0oXr8WJoS-QFXoOMU6C4kK-eOsuY6_MpM/w400-h225/DSC04596.JPG" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9H-lJyMnpTAiP3rDZcmjk1AR_nijdPZuEUvgVjeYJn9nQvhm1CIdQdZ8ph1vcOoSXOEffso1ekkP-ht0qDqqlIL7VOISKC2ppJ9d66VNxVa3YJI3KOXY41jzZOrx5J7nM-GA35Tyn3xc_DP7XP6mBHBJhgMeWWfh4ohjh8z9fhUKrI3Yhbc_ncEOVLgY/s4896/DSC04600.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9H-lJyMnpTAiP3rDZcmjk1AR_nijdPZuEUvgVjeYJn9nQvhm1CIdQdZ8ph1vcOoSXOEffso1ekkP-ht0qDqqlIL7VOISKC2ppJ9d66VNxVa3YJI3KOXY41jzZOrx5J7nM-GA35Tyn3xc_DP7XP6mBHBJhgMeWWfh4ohjh8z9fhUKrI3Yhbc_ncEOVLgY/w400-h225/DSC04600.JPG" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIzGllFr5ZpSXdD9jr0mh5QudU48R93LfCZnFSNAeVRqLjvE8-SI6ww0ENrImGBy21l0zUKQNCaoKel_6_tjsWdQEzZ7j8Zl2AN1AfVFlZHR_utAvQqhvryyTWVegv3PR9FjYKSH0f37dvfy3LLr5rfNUGpMVS9j7AeRmZdkcn00ZCX7wddW4gXDWXYRM/s4896/DSC04608.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIzGllFr5ZpSXdD9jr0mh5QudU48R93LfCZnFSNAeVRqLjvE8-SI6ww0ENrImGBy21l0zUKQNCaoKel_6_tjsWdQEzZ7j8Zl2AN1AfVFlZHR_utAvQqhvryyTWVegv3PR9FjYKSH0f37dvfy3LLr5rfNUGpMVS9j7AeRmZdkcn00ZCX7wddW4gXDWXYRM/w400-h225/DSC04608.JPG" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When the time came, which was the day following <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2023/10/Release-Athens-Festival-2023-Primal-Scream-The-Prodigy.html">yet another Release Athens Festival date</a>, I was ready even though it was the hottest day of the year.

Yes, they do a <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Bruce%20Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> and play a 3 hour set on this tour. And as they don't have so many albums as Bruce you'd think they would manage to fit in everything during those three hours. Well, not so, because they wanted to include songs from Velvet Revolver, Chinese Democracy and other solo projects. Still, there were only a handful of classics left out, the most notable being "Don't Cry" (although personally I would prefer "Get In The Ring"). There were a few rumours that they would not be that good, however Axl had lost a lot of weight, his voice was a lot better than some people thought it would be and even though Slash was showing his age, the energy was still there. The hottest day of the year was just that: The hottest! Now all I had to do was pack my bags and go to Monza for another three hour concert : <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Bruce%20Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a>!<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-XDLZZD5dgnATBxO4HX5Elq-tPtzjIiFb-tUv94VXG_OCFyo3SxotzgjOVEQgaScYVNbioWrkKlnrMjQAuK9oDapfDVyzsHTG6I8PnRYhmrEIrL-i9YlwF1QUkohX4PpHvKRaTQ95UEOgWV49rXnj6LdRdpoMq1dzp8Z3LDhMUk0ediF_zPh46t8jN8A/s2335/GUNS%20N'%20ROSES%20Ticket.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1054" data-original-width="2335" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-XDLZZD5dgnATBxO4HX5Elq-tPtzjIiFb-tUv94VXG_OCFyo3SxotzgjOVEQgaScYVNbioWrkKlnrMjQAuK9oDapfDVyzsHTG6I8PnRYhmrEIrL-i9YlwF1QUkohX4PpHvKRaTQ95UEOgWV49rXnj6LdRdpoMq1dzp8Z3LDhMUk0ediF_zPh46t8jN8A/w400-h180/GUNS%20N'%20ROSES%20Ticket.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmRTTf7n-NBz_iQ1j_tjINx1wxOSEQeuRruUcTWcsfncONcMEKDSI3wc-PYXmvQNPz6lLMHakxb1Pxn66YA8Y10KsaGUKdlUi_qbWkW6Ofg8FZRRLtDlOwfULfGbxV9M9lAY8U_lM9ZeewWz9ITZB8HAt-bMqYHSZdbLOOb-p2734g-_DzURWiIjRkPiU/s1169/GUNS%20N'%20ROSES%20Ticket%20(Censored).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1169" data-original-width="826" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmRTTf7n-NBz_iQ1j_tjINx1wxOSEQeuRruUcTWcsfncONcMEKDSI3wc-PYXmvQNPz6lLMHakxb1Pxn66YA8Y10KsaGUKdlUi_qbWkW6Ofg8FZRRLtDlOwfULfGbxV9M9lAY8U_lM9ZeewWz9ITZB8HAt-bMqYHSZdbLOOb-p2734g-_DzURWiIjRkPiU/w283-h400/GUNS%20N'%20ROSES%20Ticket%20(Censored).png" width="283" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">SETLISTS:<br />THE LAST INTERNATIONALE<br />01.

Several people were maybe expecting a set full of dance tracks and loops remembering them in the very early 90's. And indeed that was probably the reason they were chosen to play the festival on this specific night among DJ sets and electronic and dance acts. But let's not forget that before (and after) that phase, Primal Scream were first and foremost an indie band. The set started with a gospel choir giving us the intro to "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUKfCiikB5s" target="_blank">Movin' On Up</a>". And yes, they played a very special version of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmAAJgpqV-I" target="_blank">Loaded</a>" but we got so much more, such as "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PMJcoLo3DI" target="_blank">Rocks</a>", "Country Girl" and my personal favourite from their latest era, "2013" with its saxophone solo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I remembered they had played on the 4th <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Rockwave%20Festival">Rockwave Festival</a>, back in 1999, but I had chosen to go on the previous day featuring Garbage and Patti Smith. Now many people would say they wouldn't want to see The Prodigy without Keith Flint, however when I discovered Prodigy back in 1991, Keith Flint, although he was an original member, did not yet sing. And he did not sing until 1996 and "Firestarter". Anyway, it was indeed a party and although it was live, it felt more like a DJ set with each song playing only for three minutes , usually followed without a pause by the next one. That's why it ended quite soon. But we did see a graphic representation of Keith on the screen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC1fLGQE3oI_SN47HzBW6qMYVVpnBqih9MQhyphenhyphenoIPpngKT7br05KyeZgGVatIx_2Ot9kbM21_g0hcz-SVMKSS9eFRguDwDlCUkJ1Gji64JjpAT8N73ZfytU2e1-bKNKPC2FkzyLJu2qIUS_W85R667fnx-4XRHtM33w2mQgJn_jGfVYAhw5NdINbZK44Dk/s4896/DSC04560.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

Once again, it was <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Bruce%20Springsteen%20And%20The%20E%20Street%20Band">Bruce Springsteen</a>! This was my 15th Bruce concert. The weather was a little bit different this time though. After two days of sunshine and heat it was time for the proverbial English rain. I had already taken my poncho with me but it didn't really start to rain until I had reached Hyde Park. But I wasn't going to go in immediately. First I met a Facebook Bruce friend and we decided to go over to the nearby Pret-A-Manger to have a snack. Apart from Bruce we had a lot in common since our mothers had been born on the exact same date! While we were talking about all of this, the rain had not only started, but it had become really strong. At some point, it relented a bit so I went into the park. With no merchandise to buy this time I headed straight in search of a good spot. This time I did something different. I got a place at the barrier between the golden circle and the general admission area, but I chose one that was close to the sound console. It didn't block my view but I guessed that no one inside the golden circle would want to stand there because it would block their view. I was proven right: Third time lucky!

Again! And this time he showed us that his critics who complain that he doesn't change his set on this tour were simply wrong! Sure he kept the basic structure of the set <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2023/09/BST-Hyde-Park-2023-Bruce-Springsteen.html">as I have already described it on my previous post about Thursday night's appearance</a> the same, but he changed several of the songs focusing the set a lot on "Born In The USA". This time he started with "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9IW8PbYj6o" target="_blank">My Love Will Not Let You Down</a>" and went on to play "Death To My Hometown". Its intro broke back memories of his <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2022/07/Hard-Rock-Calling-2012-Bruce-Springsteen.html">2012 appearance in Hyde Park</a>. Songs from "<a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2012/03/bring-on-your-wrecking-ball_05.html">Wrecking Ball</a>" are always welcome for me because it is one of my favourite <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Albums">albums</a> and reminds me of <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2012/">2012</a> and <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2013/">2013</a> when I saw him six times during that two year period. "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" was a pleasant surprise for I had wanted to hear this live for years and never got the chance. "Kitty's Back" and "Mary's Place" were there in their usual slots on this tour (although this time we were not singing "let it rain" so enthusiastically as on Thursday), but there was another surprise as well: "The E Street Shuffle"! After all, his second album (as well as his first) celebrates its 50th anniversary this year! And then came the encore with the usual bits with him opening his shirt and showing us his torso (I'm sure the women in the audience enjoyed this) and his usual chat with Stevie about breaking the curfew although with no explicit language this time.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

mental connection between Billy Joel and <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Bruce%20Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> back in 1978 when Billy
Joel's "52nd Street" and Bruce Springsteen's "Darkness On The Edge Of
Town" were advertised side by side on the back cover of a Greek music
magazine called "Pop & Rock". Last year I bought tickets for both Springsteen shows at <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Hyde%20Park">Hyde Park</a> wondering who would play on the Friday between
them. And sure enough later that year it was announced that it was
going to be Billy Joel. So, I bought one for his show as well! </div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Now, Billy Joel fans, back in the day were unique. There weren't that many of them but they were dedicated. As far as I'm concerned the first record of his that I bought was was "The Nylon Curtain" because I loved his single "Pressure". But listening to the whole album I was able to appreciate other songs like "Allentown" and "Goodnight Saigon". A decade later I also considered "The River Of Dreams" to be one of his masterpieces. But my favourite Billy Joel track is one I didn't know back then: "You May Be Right". I discovered this in the late '00s because it was regurarly played at the parties organized by a DJ Team called DramaQueens UglyShufflers at that time.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVoFEbpN5UeDkz2htYW8QqKz04cLd9fLYM0Ou4g2n6ce7HjnEuysmAkRXn93xukS9TxHz851W089nz7Y5xRzV7VnC1325f9LiETFyalm3m0wFffKYNPIV70eTKl9b6m15eJPmUoVQVRGb-Z5qA6KodpvhUTslaxnRR3jMbS-EUZEemWmfI0HDkzHAuj4/s4896/DSC04034.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVoFEbpN5UeDkz2htYW8QqKz04cLd9fLYM0Ou4g2n6ce7HjnEuysmAkRXn93xukS9TxHz851W089nz7Y5xRzV7VnC1325f9LiETFyalm3m0wFffKYNPIV70eTKl9b6m15eJPmUoVQVRGb-Z5qA6KodpvhUTslaxnRR3jMbS-EUZEemWmfI0HDkzHAuj4/w400-h225/DSC04034.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">So once again I walked to <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Hyde%20Park">Hyde Park</a> after stopping at Selfridges to get some music magazines because in the year 2023 it is now more difficult than ever to find print magazines in London. After getting a Billy Joel t-shirt at the mechandize stand I went and secured a place at the front of the General admission area right at the barrier with the Golden Circle. As I have mentioned in my previous post, my view was sometimes blocked by people at the back of the Golden Circle, but I don't regret my choice because of the people I met at that spot, namely a guy who had benn in Greece way back in 1974 and his daughter. He was teasing me by telling me that he hoped <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Bruce%20Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> the next day would be half as good as Billy Joel. But the amazing thing was that his 20 year old daughter was also a Billy Joel fan!

His only European appearance this year! He launched immediately into "My Life". Then he told us that he had some bad news and some good news. The bad news was that he didn't have a new record out. The good news was that because he didn't have a new record out, he wasn't going to play any new songs. So he proceeded to play all the hits and his best ones. Somewhere between songs, he talked about <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2023/09/BST-Hyde-Park-2023-Bruce-Springsteen.html">Bruce Springsteen</a> falling from the ladder <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2023/09/BST-Hyde-Park-2023-Bruce-Springsteen.html">the previous night</a>. We were hoping for a guest appearance from Bruce since they were both in town that night, but we only got one of The Jonas Brothers on "Uptown Girl". And as if he knew this was my first concert of his, he saved the best for last, my favourite, "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE7y58L4dlc" target="_blank">You May Be RIght</a>".</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

And it was also an open air festival. One year ago <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Bruce%20Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> announced his two dates at <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Hyde%20Park">Hyde Park</a>. One on a Thursday and one on the following Thursday. I bought tickets for both wondering who would play on the Friday between those two. And sure enough later that year it was announced that it was going to be Billy Joel. That was it! The icing on the cake! I had made a mental connection between those two artists back in 1978 when Billy Joel's "52nd Street" and Bruce Springsteen's "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" were advertised side by side on the back cover of a Greek music magazine called "Pop & Rock". I had seen Bruce Springsteen both times he had played Hyde Park before but these were both part of the <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Hard%20Rock%20Calling">Hard Rock Calling</a> Festival. This time it was BST Hyde Park. The major difference was that this time, there was a Golden Circle area, for which I did not manage to get tickets even though I had a presale code. So as a small consolation I got the early entrance to the General Admission area in order to avoid overcrowding when the doors would open. Another major difference was that there were not going to be paper tickets available. There weren't any at the Hard Rock Calling festival as well, but you could print them off the internet. This time there were only going to be available on a specific mobile app. What I realized then was that although I had a smartphone, its operating system version did not support the app. I would need to buy a new phone by the following summer as well. I had contacted the organizers and had made sure that I would be able to go in without the app, by going to the box office on the day of the concert and showing my receipts, but one week before the concert a new Sony Xperia model was released and I bought that!</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMPTbI5AKtc_T3mXRmRNmlC094cM6gb2evjyEGDvBCfAgLTkaDFYCwxzg9EpnRmvTSTNkiQsGOiji6jL_chlivxXjHGT9-czuti783B_NPW-swZFNWwRVEk-3xsxjikVMRuSrCW5Wy1unSlme5LxLCKqNfdoKJ4EgOHLDcy9FXAyZ5a7-a8nYGCA4hLB4/s4896/DSC03919.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMPTbI5AKtc_T3mXRmRNmlC094cM6gb2evjyEGDvBCfAgLTkaDFYCwxzg9EpnRmvTSTNkiQsGOiji6jL_chlivxXjHGT9-czuti783B_NPW-swZFNWwRVEk-3xsxjikVMRuSrCW5Wy1unSlme5LxLCKqNfdoKJ4EgOHLDcy9FXAyZ5a7-a8nYGCA4hLB4/w400-h225/DSC03919.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfhZev3A6M53J4UygqPaHwRlG3lbrDOHj1nkuOOURlGeWu4VaaHpZBOkKCFPqrMhJSY7ehEzzOcEzsYel6VxcmptJ7i-McH9dPUJxtE-5s_2ZpAgeEcwonzFmNlGyMpvkZMCxaRupqdJlR_4HB4aQAtu9gEQMlZ5RpWzBJDB7TXALk_nCjjCMnIGhRRk8/s4896/DSC03920.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfhZev3A6M53J4UygqPaHwRlG3lbrDOHj1nkuOOURlGeWu4VaaHpZBOkKCFPqrMhJSY7ehEzzOcEzsYel6VxcmptJ7i-McH9dPUJxtE-5s_2ZpAgeEcwonzFmNlGyMpvkZMCxaRupqdJlR_4HB4aQAtu9gEQMlZ5RpWzBJDB7TXALk_nCjjCMnIGhRRk8/w400-h225/DSC03920.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I had chosen a hotel near New Oxford Street, which meant that I could walk to and from the park every day thus saving a lot of money on public transport which is quite expensive now in <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/London">London</a>. So on Thursday, my first BST Hyde Park day I was at the park at the designated time of 1 o'clock and promptly got in. There was a small queue that I had to join, but that started moving quickly as soon as the gates were opened. My first stop was the merchandise stand. I just wanted to buy a Bruce Springsteen official t-shirt (and a Billy Joel one the following day). And then I had enough time to find a good spot before the gates opened for the regular ticket holders at 2 o'clock. Well, I figured that a good spot would be at the barrier between our area and the golden circle, but it took me until the 3rd day to get it right. I didn't stand at the barrier but very close to it thinking I had a good view which I did at first but this was partially blocked by the time Bruce got on stage, not by the people in front of me, but by the people at the back of the golden circle instead. I even had enough space to lie down and conserve my energy seeing as it was quite a hot day for London.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRDHIVEVwxqWI-wriQ4USD34uFaxIQ2PKR8GgQSeZyiDzNfieTQmO7p2cMQuYlSU70S_LahJdJM1r-MTTnITBoSOz2XkDtIgIzTKPAShjrXFEcBxshJZSeoet-fuQhE1W0VQjA8h5tjtyYrStOhy4fwfrbrSCMER4MouqoroN83MGBGtMF9oGwjQfsk9g/s4896/DSC03922.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRDHIVEVwxqWI-wriQ4USD34uFaxIQ2PKR8GgQSeZyiDzNfieTQmO7p2cMQuYlSU70S_LahJdJM1r-MTTnITBoSOz2XkDtIgIzTKPAShjrXFEcBxshJZSeoet-fuQhE1W0VQjA8h5tjtyYrStOhy4fwfrbrSCMER4MouqoroN83MGBGtMF9oGwjQfsk9g/w400-h225/DSC03922.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwlqcfr7Cwvtk_GuzPWsvwXCqykwpAhSlBcR9pd83Or5mpYnxHoQYOLv32Eufe0lGY9Zge9028ATjqBGQORKbRNmBsZmobffkT6u3gA3Zjfzr0L03W0bVD1v6jB8KhWMw6AAGgbl9aqvctOOvXNGRYr_nNwI-cFWdIqUWQVErdULIgA7-MqMyICXLAP3k/s4896/DSC03928.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwlqcfr7Cwvtk_GuzPWsvwXCqykwpAhSlBcR9pd83Or5mpYnxHoQYOLv32Eufe0lGY9Zge9028ATjqBGQORKbRNmBsZmobffkT6u3gA3Zjfzr0L03W0bVD1v6jB8KhWMw6AAGgbl9aqvctOOvXNGRYr_nNwI-cFWdIqUWQVErdULIgA7-MqMyICXLAP3k/w400-h225/DSC03928.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTyEVpoYRzVj1litcYC9tJqSyK6tNIX78CMZ7nInXnuUuifHCn1_-5GGtnc3ss4VSuivD-e_I0vJquuY51UB_Y1sAMx-oE2QVHy7M6sorIigR1rtzM9pTkyl4dJNcArP5jOm-s4pXPGa0OK6IVdeWm1zaJs2azxp_I_ZX-Tco9MBj_CPArl7J4hQZtaBQ/s4896/DSC03929.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTyEVpoYRzVj1litcYC9tJqSyK6tNIX78CMZ7nInXnuUuifHCn1_-5GGtnc3ss4VSuivD-e_I0vJquuY51UB_Y1sAMx-oE2QVHy7M6sorIigR1rtzM9pTkyl4dJNcArP5jOm-s4pXPGa0OK6IVdeWm1zaJs2azxp_I_ZX-Tco9MBj_CPArl7J4hQZtaBQ/w400-h225/DSC03929.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil6OJWvsS_MKOzB7ItiZYh6qkRYOqH10ubU69j-3hTBFkUfboOp1RyN5Nww5VkZYN_oKRR2-40DAuUCjAhPrqwHuqzC7TTfVmzOeyI7y602X5zaG0ZCu-Ihl3i-FgD5lLVT3SD5D3XJHMoC2AfCLL62T3GPLYQc2creMEiYPeZd2ssM7aJ57J_UvwkzFs/s4896/DSC03934.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil6OJWvsS_MKOzB7ItiZYh6qkRYOqH10ubU69j-3hTBFkUfboOp1RyN5Nww5VkZYN_oKRR2-40DAuUCjAhPrqwHuqzC7TTfVmzOeyI7y602X5zaG0ZCu-Ihl3i-FgD5lLVT3SD5D3XJHMoC2AfCLL62T3GPLYQc2creMEiYPeZd2ssM7aJ57J_UvwkzFs/w400-h225/DSC03934.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first artist to come up on stage was Frank Turner.

Now, the first 30 minutes was a warm up period. You see, I didn't quite know what to expect or if I would enjoy myself (yeah, right... as if!). It all had to do with the gossip on social media about how this tour was different, he was no longer taking requests from the crowd, he wasn't changing the setlists anymore and so on... (Well, as far as the last one was concerned I would find out on Saturday). On top of that, I hadn't followed the setlists and the videos from the tour on social media during the tour as I used to do on previous ones. I thought I would concentrate on work during the year and then, when the time for my first concert came, I would party. And the thing is, we have to accept the fact that Bruce is older now (he's in his seventies) and cannot do all the things he used to do. But the fact is that on every tour Bruce's setlists always had a certain format with songs that would always be played (for example "Lonesome Day" and the really rocky version of "Johnny 99" in 2009 and "Spirit In The Night" in 2012) and then he would fit in the requests and the changes somewhere among these. This time it was "Ghosts" from "Letter To You" early on (but not the first song) with "Kitty's Back" and "Mary's Place" towards the middle of the main set. Only "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYJqg58GZJ8" target="_blank">Nightshift</a>" from his soul covers album, (a song with a particular meaning for me, though). Then, an almost solo interlude with storytelling about his early band and "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2fB5jB7Uo0" target="_blank">Last Man Standing</a>" progressing into "Backstreets". And finally "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69900k5S_zI" target="_blank">Badlands</a>" towards the end, not at the beginning of the set as it was expected on other tours. I particularly liked this last bit. "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69900k5S_zI" target="_blank">Badlands</a>" is one of Bruce's anthems and one should have to wait to hear it, like "Born To Run" for example. (Although I understand that by playing it at the beginning helps to get the crowd going). And it would all end with a second encore featuring a solo performance of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai92Vov_xPU" target="_blank">I'll See You In My Dreams</a>". Well, my "warm up" period ended around the time when the first notes of "Out In The Street" (the sixth song of the set) started playing. That was when I thought "Yeah, he's back... I'm back) and started enjoying myself (and haven't stopped since!). During the first encore Bruce remembered what had happened at <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2022/07/Hard-Rock-Calling-2012-Bruce-Springsteen.html">his last gig in Hyde Park back in 2012</a> and asked Stevie if they were going to pull the plug again. Stevie responded not by saying "stuff them!" as the BBC had reported but "f**k them!" instead. And then he proceeded to play "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", the song he was prevented from playing eleven years ago.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKhmEm3IDYZEPRjq_f4q7XW1kR8cXufRH4pFKFWDqNhBN1V1DX8dhiPE1qVY9hQCzQ6Dc98HGVNd30MLn-sX5kh20sMo-LjTavTdHmmUX_4Mo3-o0offKSfia4pIOK76vxhM8Xc2rh0aDH1OhIRyiSqy0cgZZI7GAHZvHxj3_QoMcDjqluFP_nfYZQzRo/s4896/DSC03967.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

The first thing I noticed, just outside the park was an unofficial t-shirt listing only the Hyde Park dates and the support bands. I made a mental note to find one of these on Saturday. Then I turned right on Oxford Street, occasionally stopping for refreshments or food to eat back in my room. Central London was vibrant as usual even on a Thursday night.

The reason is of course <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Terra%20Vibe">Terra Vibe</a>. The worst location for concerts in Greece. To the artists appearing it may seem beautiful, but for us who have to find a way to get there and most of all, a way to get out of there, it's horrible. But this year's proposition was really interesting. Now, <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Robbie%20Williams">Robbie Williams</a> alone wouldn't have tempted me. It was the inclusion of Mika that made me take the plunge. And the appearance of <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Leon%20Of%20Athens">Leon Of Athens</a> just put the icing on the cake.

On paper, it looked as if it would work. However, the bus was late in departing and there was plenty of traffic on the way there. However, it left us close to the entrance for a change and I was able to get in quickly, run and catch at least what I believe was 50% of his set. I've seen him in so many different places in the past, so a festival appearance would be a different experience. And it was different, as far as the songs were concerned, although that was probably due to my being late. Plenty of new songs, so although there was no "Baby Asteroid" this time (at least not for me, I think he played it before I got there), I got to hear these new songs and my impression was that most of them were more upbeat and more danceable.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-iA6LcpMadL7E0Gc_p83H5fe8hoRP3XElC-vYM_xUBU_MXEE3lKz8smSr6lhYcFnnfC5DqskLYkBTEb78ogkkGRzC0BKj72qMjTslqd2KMqAz5c8y1q7MCn9DLYFY6gDoOysG5OrERqtKx6GkS1OII8ZPiH31V0zcQiRV9q4F1PVqfXElNSX6eb9rn8/s4896/DSC03663.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-iA6LcpMadL7E0Gc_p83H5fe8hoRP3XElC-vYM_xUBU_MXEE3lKz8smSr6lhYcFnnfC5DqskLYkBTEb78ogkkGRzC0BKj72qMjTslqd2KMqAz5c8y1q7MCn9DLYFY6gDoOysG5OrERqtKx6GkS1OII8ZPiH31V0zcQiRV9q4F1PVqfXElNSX6eb9rn8/w400-h225/DSC03663.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> <br /><div style="height: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="100%" src="https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x8n4s00" style="height: 100%; left: 0px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 100%;" title="Dailymotion Video Player" type="text/html" width="100%"> </iframe> </div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Next up was Jonathan Jeremiah.

Hadn't heard of him before, but he seemed nice and most importantly, his set wasn't boring, something which can usually happen with artists one doesn't know and who are at the bottom of the bill of a festival date.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf186C6dgiPLiIrNwmACpHPiPPZyuhHU-caj9HRxfgVLjhHHPfn0ZLt5mz0tULz5r7PlWNK28mrAL0xnFtptBWPzM5_exPmvOk6__Nqss6Lq_HeTT6si-EPMAECs44Upo1U1P4s6AOM8kR8sk2UNbfdMDoi5oIq5eZuXBuemChwp9saHbD6gkeZG0CUAM/s4896/DSC03706.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf186C6dgiPLiIrNwmACpHPiPPZyuhHU-caj9HRxfgVLjhHHPfn0ZLt5mz0tULz5r7PlWNK28mrAL0xnFtptBWPzM5_exPmvOk6__Nqss6Lq_HeTT6si-EPMAECs44Upo1U1P4s6AOM8kR8sk2UNbfdMDoi5oIq5eZuXBuemChwp9saHbD6gkeZG0CUAM/w400-h225/DSC03706.JPG" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1yFOX1rkbC9WAxquizJBZ1cq7MNDoTIDrEIgV-qvEZ8Ia_TorBAtId77AUhEI_wNyblnIgm2ceEbVtQYNYYgEA7-2Z0rkvMpKZGq5vxHDVnyGrmz9-hmE1lFPyo2M2BeMxKP9PaefvyyQKOa5OMnm5zHpImTFI03H8ezGZG0mbs0T0N5zrQbflmp7m8w/s4896/DSC03710.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1yFOX1rkbC9WAxquizJBZ1cq7MNDoTIDrEIgV-qvEZ8Ia_TorBAtId77AUhEI_wNyblnIgm2ceEbVtQYNYYgEA7-2Z0rkvMpKZGq5vxHDVnyGrmz9-hmE1lFPyo2M2BeMxKP9PaefvyyQKOa5OMnm5zHpImTFI03H8ezGZG0mbs0T0N5zrQbflmp7m8w/w400-h225/DSC03710.JPG" width="400" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pNNF89Szj2s" width="400" youtube-src-id="pNNF89Szj2s"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Then, finally it was time for Mika. He was third on the bill, not second, something which made me worry that his set would be cut short, but I needn't have worried. For most people Mika is "the guy who sang <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2GzHnycgTY" target="_blank">Relax, Take It Easy</a>" (some of them also know "Grace Kelly"). I admit that I used to be just like them, until my ex showed me that there was more to him than that. (My favourite song of his is "Talk About You" from his 2015 album "No Place In Heaven", unfortunately not played at Terra Vibe). It's true that most of the songs he plays live are from his first album, but then again these are his biggest hits. And to his credit, his latest "My Name Is Michael Holbrook" is actually quite good. In short, even though his set, was shorter than it could have been and even though he was third on the bill, he managed to win the audience over and for the first time that day at Terra Vibe we felt as if we were at a big party!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcft3pWeYprrNTMXqaOLGQNtxTxlYM_oh17b-6Ijfg1GK7PmEWXXLbrEtaW-degt6CHBkYigAbP_gZd_Y2KrhWaHTmn5FYKeZGnmADTgZvolCXh-No-gYcF6ZSjF_-t8PhvBYjHexXbdiulIQ1zJcBAHvKDkQDS1HznrWSlnJhyCZrdbhuNeiwAesFTw/s4896/DSC03719.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcft3pWeYprrNTMXqaOLGQNtxTxlYM_oh17b-6Ijfg1GK7PmEWXXLbrEtaW-degt6CHBkYigAbP_gZd_Y2KrhWaHTmn5FYKeZGnmADTgZvolCXh-No-gYcF6ZSjF_-t8PhvBYjHexXbdiulIQ1zJcBAHvKDkQDS1HznrWSlnJhyCZrdbhuNeiwAesFTw/w400-h225/DSC03719.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZB3OTJ28i4w_56fP0XRRTFntKE4_zyydWcG0KxUOim8vqipJo6rJkNXAn14_z9-q-R7rcNldL647MLRLN4hcxoqHnfHOnmvSWjGK9N9AcaM6MHBPOj5QW1utMAgvv9GkfcAWJmgOIQ-AgaikPwQ0qTzTf9IBAt_TS9dRwUplQ8C44DMoBk2Jroh-SQyE/s4896/DSC03723.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZB3OTJ28i4w_56fP0XRRTFntKE4_zyydWcG0KxUOim8vqipJo6rJkNXAn14_z9-q-R7rcNldL647MLRLN4hcxoqHnfHOnmvSWjGK9N9AcaM6MHBPOj5QW1utMAgvv9GkfcAWJmgOIQ-AgaikPwQ0qTzTf9IBAt_TS9dRwUplQ8C44DMoBk2Jroh-SQyE/w400-h225/DSC03723.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHUh7s2C96LpuXGwSqFTWdXAasZAm9J8BNN_csHxHbh1rYGgFRj0eCzLVSRiDrRcFm4kX86kfWoQNl1aEPANyj7Gh-yVaBw-T1BbKJ2GPbWTRH9zE1_qezpmYudOG2Ne1jUe9vq1ndsf90UUMZjVd9ZDqz8nl6MjlOYTkzOYqRfV0G57fIGcNyffGpZN0/s4896/DSC03740.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHUh7s2C96LpuXGwSqFTWdXAasZAm9J8BNN_csHxHbh1rYGgFRj0eCzLVSRiDrRcFm4kX86kfWoQNl1aEPANyj7Gh-yVaBw-T1BbKJ2GPbWTRH9zE1_qezpmYudOG2Ne1jUe9vq1ndsf90UUMZjVd9ZDqz8nl6MjlOYTkzOYqRfV0G57fIGcNyffGpZN0/w400-h225/DSC03740.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F2GzHnycgTY" width="400" youtube-src-id="F2GzHnycgTY"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QtvG5crbwHE" width="400" youtube-src-id="QtvG5crbwHE"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Second on the bill, before Robbie Williams was James Bay.

He wasn't bad and I'm certainly not the kind of person who detests it when there's a variety of music genres at festivals, but the marketing of music has lately become so homogenized and by that I mean that there are people who listen only to rock, others that listen only to pop maybe because that's what the industry and promoters think is what should happen.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi19iS6AEuED9VybM2qu18zXDOVNkw1WM2yJ48DC99-oiHpV4ldjpfT3Q6XObIjttK57ixy7usA6Ml-OBFJY4lhkIjQMXBs9gPYuabhu0Nk0T-ZsHOd7XFcQNpXWaHnJ9HUvlFZUOGb_tWEVY-dGyaB3d1QuyDtTiSBCvSwb2Jd-JFTX6Ec7dlO4xpcHtA/s4896/DSC03759.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi19iS6AEuED9VybM2qu18zXDOVNkw1WM2yJ48DC99-oiHpV4ldjpfT3Q6XObIjttK57ixy7usA6Ml-OBFJY4lhkIjQMXBs9gPYuabhu0Nk0T-ZsHOd7XFcQNpXWaHnJ9HUvlFZUOGb_tWEVY-dGyaB3d1QuyDtTiSBCvSwb2Jd-JFTX6Ec7dlO4xpcHtA/w400-h225/DSC03759.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ydDmk1-5Fhw" width="400" youtube-src-id="ydDmk1-5Fhw"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;">And finally, it was time for Robbie.

fulfilled his promise to us <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/10/rockwave-20-part-2-robbie-williams.html">at his last concert at the exact same place</a>.
However, dear organizers his exact words were: "Let's meet again in 18
months, shall we?" He said 18 months, not 8 years! What I what to point out by saying this is that Greek promoters will rarely invite artists on subsequent tours (unless they're called <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Scorpions">Scorpions</a> or <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Depeche%20Mode">Depeche Mode</a>).

He had probably suffered from the effects of COVID, he was older (but then again, aren't we all?) and of course his set was different. Not shorter, but different. There were in fact fewer songs, but not because the set was cut short, but because he talked a lot between songs. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT! About how he became famous with Take That, how he left Take That, how he became once again famous and successful again on his own this time, how he rejoined Take That, but most importantly how difficult a time he had had through the pandemic and how he is finally happy having found love with his wife and having a family. I didn't mind. It was like having a conversation with a friend whom you haven't seen in... well... eight years, even if the conversation was one-sided. And, if you ask me which of the two concerts of his I have attended was better, I would definitely say <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/10/rockwave-20-part-2-robbie-williams.html">the first one</a>, eight years ago. Better songs, more songs, but most importantly, because as we all know it's "never as good as the first time" because that first time, no matter what we are talking about, a concert or a kiss, is the one by which all subsequent ones will be compared to (and found wanting as Stephen King has said). I've said all this because I've heard another opinion about his appearance which came from my ex and that was that he was a total and absolute mess. Although I don't agree with it, I can understand that some people might not have enjoyed someone who certainly looked that he had aged and probably suffered during the last 8 years and instead of singing preferred to engage in conversation with his audience. However, what I don't understand is another, a third opinion that was going around on social media and other Greek websites that he had insulted Greek people with one of his jokes. My answer to this is that if, after all these years, you still don't "get" British humour, you had better attend only concerts from Greek artists from now on.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEwEShZpVSj-3uyiu7aET9oR6_eNbVEO_XBr6euvroiqwwDlQjnDvt4KdDVUSVk7-PiTTCVfwJ6Le4wxnqOhprnaFFH8sOSSYHRsm87aYa-K0KUG_VhcWcgusv8_OwTxazJh62noddYOTxeo9AWW_Mekdadx9u7-yo3We2xqgHcZc_rgR_tMVPp0AUyfY/s4896/DSC03781.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEwEShZpVSj-3uyiu7aET9oR6_eNbVEO_XBr6euvroiqwwDlQjnDvt4KdDVUSVk7-PiTTCVfwJ6Le4wxnqOhprnaFFH8sOSSYHRsm87aYa-K0KUG_VhcWcgusv8_OwTxazJh62noddYOTxeo9AWW_Mekdadx9u7-yo3We2xqgHcZc_rgR_tMVPp0AUyfY/w400-h225/DSC03781.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">OK, so what about the music?

The original arrangement was that the headliners at <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Stavros%20Niarchos%20Foundation%20Cultural%20Center">Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center</a> (Interpol) would not clash with the headliner at <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Water%20Square">Water Square</a> (Siouxsie).

They started the set with "Isotype" from their latest album and then went all the way back to "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YAUlXETuyo" target="_blank">Electricity</a>". Their set was quite long despite their being 3rd on the bill so that meant that we got to hear all our favourites. "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMQA9MNFsss" target="_blank">(Forever) Live And Die</a>", "Joan Of Arc", "Maid Of Orleans" (during which Andy still does "The Dance"), "Locomotion", "Souvenir", and even "Sailing On The Seven Seas". The crowd really enjoyed "If You Leave" from the Pretty In Pink movie, having grown up perhaps with Molly Ringwald (who was shown on the projection screen) and the rest of The Brat Pack thus making Andy ask them if there were any American tourists in the audience. But my highlight had to be the one song I hadn't heard at <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2017/05/a-gig-that-changed-my-life-marsheaux.html">their previous gig in 2007</a>, simply because it didn't exist back then: "History Of Modern (Part I)". The only notable absence for me was "Don't Go". This was their only new song from their latest best of compilation, but it is an exceptional song. They finished of course with none other than "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3YgghQYDSQ" target="_blank">Enola Gay</a>".</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEDX-Iz-iX772-BXEi06Ni0EdNTgjJGedUewBInPNIuWR3ED1zekm7pNgQwnrTdaobqCGkfPyM2Srr701pxTGVaKYRx2uYTqqcc-3k7mC6BQZkjbuZ61HZ76IgjIz9UE-nOrgDPBB3OfKhRIUZuLA1vwaA7fxGTQRJfZGMitAq7Ej3wXRHcj-SBBOKuO4/s4896/DSC03408.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEDX-Iz-iX772-BXEi06Ni0EdNTgjJGedUewBInPNIuWR3ED1zekm7pNgQwnrTdaobqCGkfPyM2Srr701pxTGVaKYRx2uYTqqcc-3k7mC6BQZkjbuZ61HZ76IgjIz9UE-nOrgDPBB3OfKhRIUZuLA1vwaA7fxGTQRJfZGMitAq7Ej3wXRHcj-SBBOKuO4/w400-h225/DSC03408.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6EjCvkxfDrStwwyP3tHp8wRO2Pi3JecK7d73DPrE214zEelxjSANAUi-Jvc7QB4uoia_PZF2CdKQSwNv-6ZwLC9tVCDaCz0Eiys4O8J2dvg8Z36guYWrrJFzLEX9DQ8HcSzEQD3cbZ1m-cn38DXAOdtfF-mCNO9p4i9cpj6eXgvNEDCdmdeX9kKShZxE/s4896/DSC03409.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6EjCvkxfDrStwwyP3tHp8wRO2Pi3JecK7d73DPrE214zEelxjSANAUi-Jvc7QB4uoia_PZF2CdKQSwNv-6ZwLC9tVCDaCz0Eiys4O8J2dvg8Z36guYWrrJFzLEX9DQ8HcSzEQD3cbZ1m-cn38DXAOdtfF-mCNO9p4i9cpj6eXgvNEDCdmdeX9kKShZxE/w400-h225/DSC03409.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK6U_OiqoQGcfCItioZgXT0FjaMRnXf2bQJB26B5-Sqn564k_9HTzq7iVXHpTT_iyMIjy6RzlWi7_5wPln0DEFvrV0fKg_1b6R96NRgLNFk71JvWuJthD9YN6ikWzgAmWWw34a3kqm4yCNnzG-UqZ_Ar9wxD9eeD92vCiT4FbXDlcpaUv4IyGpgHXfCNY/s4896/DSC03413.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK6U_OiqoQGcfCItioZgXT0FjaMRnXf2bQJB26B5-Sqn564k_9HTzq7iVXHpTT_iyMIjy6RzlWi7_5wPln0DEFvrV0fKg_1b6R96NRgLNFk71JvWuJthD9YN6ikWzgAmWWw34a3kqm4yCNnzG-UqZ_Ar9wxD9eeD92vCiT4FbXDlcpaUv4IyGpgHXfCNY/w400-h225/DSC03413.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkwauoQJvyu4z_lM8Eej17FVE_WdT8A_JSj6rNQnVdO3aif4ZPJ8aNTi3aIzQ-Vmwzr9AaHMV9M95Mx1wyCbSfAsD5ZwKqz4K1myTgSmZsqt9SurYkWK8CMF81VdB2rbViJ0cTkhqCaU8N1bZb-Z4yL9DHTtmDSMldgZ4z7Mt2GsPcx-ozy4W5LFL4AvA/s4896/DSC03427.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkwauoQJvyu4z_lM8Eej17FVE_WdT8A_JSj6rNQnVdO3aif4ZPJ8aNTi3aIzQ-Vmwzr9AaHMV9M95Mx1wyCbSfAsD5ZwKqz4K1myTgSmZsqt9SurYkWK8CMF81VdB2rbViJ0cTkhqCaU8N1bZb-Z4yL9DHTtmDSMldgZ4z7Mt2GsPcx-ozy4W5LFL4AvA/w400-h225/DSC03427.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3YAUlXETuyo" width="400" youtube-src-id="3YAUlXETuyo"></iframe></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TMQA9MNFsss" width="400" youtube-src-id="TMQA9MNFsss"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H3YgghQYDSQ" width="400" youtube-src-id="H3YgghQYDSQ"></iframe></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Let me just mention here that this wasn't simply <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Release%20Athens%20Festival">Release Athens Festival</a>.

When I see a movie that enters the top 10 this is great news. It means that this movie has affected me in some important way. But the number one movie in this list has remained constant for decades. It's "Until The End Of The World" by Wim Wenders.<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It all happened quite by accident. It was on late at night, on a summer's night on a Greek TV channel. I sat down to watch it because I thought "Ah, that's the movie where that U2 song is featured". I had a few doubts at first because it was a Wim Wenders movie and I considered him to be a "difficult" director. Three hours later, as the credits were rolling I was sitting, dumbfounded, on my couch thinking "What the **** has just happened?" I couldn't believe what I had just seen and experienced. I knew right there and then that this was the best movie I had ever seen.<br /><br />But the question is "why?" Why was this the best movie ever, at least for me? Well, I guess that it has to do with all the travelling done in the movie. Indeed, I love road movies, but this is a road movie whose characters are moving all around the world, a world which comes close to destruction, but in the end, while our heroes have gathered at one of its most remote corners, (SPOILER ALERT!), it is saved. That the two main characters fall in love during this journey, probably has something to do with it as well. Not to mention that it was set at the turn of the millennium which was then still a few years ahead in the future (This is after all a 1991 movie).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzEB7rF5GW-SEa2sc2Xuzfqg_ux3oyQcdzl9rb6JoTh1pwhxh2WrSWLxBXi9wdg_zHsH8CFZai0NLo0MSzJikaEpasShVnCDNUf3lO-AuwJoXA4yWsiNYmW1v-K3EOaoZ_bdw-IipBLVa2txCXI0_Cc2qwyMD_6kIGz3DbTMgCiM9perzx4Zah2QA/s1634/UNTIL%20THE%20END%20OF%20THE%20WORLD%20-%20Soundtrack.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1451" data-original-width="1634" height="355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzEB7rF5GW-SEa2sc2Xuzfqg_ux3oyQcdzl9rb6JoTh1pwhxh2WrSWLxBXi9wdg_zHsH8CFZai0NLo0MSzJikaEpasShVnCDNUf3lO-AuwJoXA4yWsiNYmW1v-K3EOaoZ_bdw-IipBLVa2txCXI0_Cc2qwyMD_6kIGz3DbTMgCiM9perzx4Zah2QA/w400-h355/UNTIL%20THE%20END%20OF%20THE%20WORLD%20-%20Soundtrack.png" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Another reason is the soundtrack. As you probably know well by know, music plays an important role - probably the most important - in my life. And although my decision to watch this movie the first time was because it contained a U2 song, which in fact is its title track ("Until The End Of The World" originally from "Achtung Baby"), it was other songs featured in the movie that made me fall in love with it. My favourites are : "Silent Kisses, Winter Tears" performed by Julee Cruise (but then again, this song was produced by David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, a fact which says quite a lot), Nick Cave's "(I'll Love You) Till The End Of The World" (his "thank you girl" line at the beginning of the chorus is just sublime), "Death's Door" by Depeche Mode (all DM songs - at least during that era - sung by Martin Gore tended to be more downtempo and atmospheric and thus, appropriate for a movie), and finally the best one: "Calling All Angels". I love k.d. lang's voice, even though she's just a guest providing additional vocals on a song performed by Jane Siberry. Their combined vocals in the chorus is, in my opinion. the highlight of this soundtrack. There is also "Days", a Kinks cover by Elvis Costello, but no version of this song ever is going to surpass the one sung by Kirsty McCall in 1989.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zfFWBWKwQT8" width="400" youtube-src-id="zfFWBWKwQT8"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The connection of Wim Wenders with U2 continued with his next movie "Faraway, So Close" which featured "Stay (Faraway, So Close)" from the "Zooropa" album as its title track. That movie was actually the sequel to his earlier "Wings Of Desire". Because of this fact, I also watched these last two movies and Wim Wenders, whom at first I had thought of as "difficult", became one of my favourite directors. On top of that, I fell in love with Solveig Dommartin who stars in all these three movies I have discussed here and I was deeply saddened, years later, when I learned that she was no longer with us.<br /><br />"Until The End Of The World" may be my favourite movie of all time, but this isn't a view that is shared by many others. The movie didn't get good reviews and it seems its production was chaotic, mainly due to the fact that it was shot all over the world using different, mainly local, crews. But I love it, and the atmosphere it creates and I find myself watching it again every once in a while. In fact, the reason I'm writing this blog post now, is because a couple of months ago I watched the 4 hour director's cut for the first time from a special 3DVD box set. Meanwhile Wim Wenders had once again collaborated with U2 on "The Million Dollar Hotel" and it wasn't until years later that I finally watched what is considered by critics to be Wim Wenders's finest film, "Paris Texas".<br /><br />And since I have mentioned my favourite movie list, here is how it currently stands:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">01.

It told the story of a British Asian teenager who was a Springsteen fan in the 80's. I've seen the movie at the cinema, bought the DVD and the soundtrack CD which featured some rare live tracks and a "new" song "I'll Stand By You" which was originally intended for the first Harry Potter movie. Not to mention a couple of other 80's songs by A-Ha and the Pet Shop Boys. So why am I writing this now? Well, it's because I've also read the book. It's called "Greetings From Bury Park" and it goes much further than the storyline of the movie.<br /></div><div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxN11bg8qMtFjuGXN5C4BVaVbzo4CuyQvElLj0ZOPBN5FidmC0ac7dho0qO5mb-6m8BgOclg1FTpsn4dOU8WYifgU6uefd7TxqQkVm0KjEU6HGqCy1XCicKy8lNd1hUsfPUGEhplUymQFas7LALAgDENZf5taqLUuibpQ0e7pfDfWbMuPrasYHcCqU/s2250/BLINDED%20BY%20THE%20LIGHT.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2250" data-original-width="1598" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxN11bg8qMtFjuGXN5C4BVaVbzo4CuyQvElLj0ZOPBN5FidmC0ac7dho0qO5mb-6m8BgOclg1FTpsn4dOU8WYifgU6uefd7TxqQkVm0KjEU6HGqCy1XCicKy8lNd1hUsfPUGEhplUymQFas7LALAgDENZf5taqLUuibpQ0e7pfDfWbMuPrasYHcCqU/s320/BLINDED%20BY%20THE%20LIGHT.png" width="227" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">It tells us all about his life, not just as a teenager as we see him in the movie, but as an adult as well, who gets married and becomes a father. But the most important thing is that it shows us how Bruce Springsteen appeals to everyone, no matter what colour, religion or nationality. And it shows us how his music can help people through hard times, even if they're not the "typical" American fan. <br />Having lived in Britain myself, during most of the period that the main events in the book take place, and having socialized with members of the British Asian community while I was there, many of the things and events described in the book are familiar to me.<br />If you're Bruce fans you have probably already seen the movie, but I strongly urge you to read the book as well. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirXOhxDCSbMocrdwzxKCMt3biLjECVGoEPUro0AkAN4LQG-KN7pi4zKS20uC5p0CjFOKON5QWl1PqjAU8kCWBRyZj6KJyWzjObxXyQVobysFoStJ47AkI6QeREpN9e6hDOaKN29HO7M17PYE5shzmSx-MvfMo8Br7eshGb1YZclfDZbfD9xOcMv-dN/s1634/BLINDED%20BY%20THE%20LIGHT%20-%20Soundtrack.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1451" data-original-width="1634" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirXOhxDCSbMocrdwzxKCMt3biLjECVGoEPUro0AkAN4LQG-KN7pi4zKS20uC5p0CjFOKON5QWl1PqjAU8kCWBRyZj6KJyWzjObxXyQVobysFoStJ47AkI6QeREpN9e6hDOaKN29HO7M17PYE5shzmSx-MvfMo8Br7eshGb1YZclfDZbfD9xOcMv-dN/s320/BLINDED%20BY%20THE%20LIGHT%20-%20Soundtrack.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></div>PAP DXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06664951079711898410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857504524214864952.post-87295286550257426982023-03-27T15:26:00.001+03:002023-03-27T15:26:53.814+03:00Dance Craze - The Best Of British Ska ....

Well, let me start by saying that I'm referring to a film. A 1981 film about the 2 Tone bands and the ska revival at the beginning of the 80's.<br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I got interested in that scene when I read about Madness and The Specials back in the day. I hadn't heard any of their music but I saw the albums and their reviews in a Greek music magazine so I bought "One Step Beyond" the debut album by Madness. According to the article I had read "ska is reggae played very fast". It also stated that "there's reggae, there's ska and in between there's rock steady whose tempo is somewhere in between reggae and ska". The article erroneously stated that "ska had evolved from reggae" when in fact the truth is that it happened the other way round. The bands that played that music according to the article were "Madness, The Specials, The Selecters <i>(sic)</i> and the Ruts" (As we all know that band's proper name is "The Selecter"). So after "One Step Beyond" I bought the first Specials album, their "Too Much Too Young" single and the first Selecter album. I didn't however buy anything from The Ruts because they weren't mentioned again as part of that scene. Instead I bought albums by The Beat and The Bad Manners.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9AnInSWFH70" width="400" youtube-src-id="9AnInSWFH70"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;">And suddenly, at some point, all these bands appeared together in a live album called "Dance Craze". This was apparently the soundtrack of a movie showing all these bands playing live. Of course the movie was never shown in Greece, but the album was released featuring a poster with all 6 bands (Madness, The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat, The Bad Manners and The Bodysnatchers). </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHwlIvZ8ukqcnk4jJrtoVTY122s9OqQwk39nnTILOc0EZOrhebC1Bqqm5jOHBx9wh-HyxEo5-bR5aR3391THZEpfSTvkECGnHuILxUn9Srek7VDHKwGH_6Xil7SVgHSNCxWVylOgL97HNeuEmJPEhl2C6nTzF78fYnNO8k9f1LTl3J-9qBqdtnBgx1/s3507/DANCE%20CRAZE%20-%20Soundtrack.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2480" data-original-width="3507" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHwlIvZ8ukqcnk4jJrtoVTY122s9OqQwk39nnTILOc0EZOrhebC1Bqqm5jOHBx9wh-HyxEo5-bR5aR3391THZEpfSTvkECGnHuILxUn9Srek7VDHKwGH_6Xil7SVgHSNCxWVylOgL97HNeuEmJPEhl2C6nTzF78fYnNO8k9f1LTl3J-9qBqdtnBgx1/w400-h283/DANCE%20CRAZE%20-%20Soundtrack.png" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwY2SV78ugLGL4B4D9y1M_diqqIj-6L-lYJ5EjMeSB81HI39nhHTkVmVk5wzIZAl9aIgAStlH0zxHRLwcZkdqFwB-xlnvF47W41rOwrJ7Pd66668kssi9Rd34vV1WZbZXJQeDJe5l2AcPsxtWc6dMTKWx2RhYpjaRqWT2tVEi7wBFa3dIqN9z6xbF/s4896/DSC02505.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwY2SV78ugLGL4B4D9y1M_diqqIj-6L-lYJ5EjMeSB81HI39nhHTkVmVk5wzIZAl9aIgAStlH0zxHRLwcZkdqFwB-xlnvF47W41rOwrJ7Pd66668kssi9Rd34vV1WZbZXJQeDJe5l2AcPsxtWc6dMTKWx2RhYpjaRqWT2tVEi7wBFa3dIqN9z6xbF/w400-h225/DSC02505.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I never managed to find the film after I had moved to Britain and when I once again looked for it recently I learnt that it had never been released on DVD.

As it happened, it was snowing on that day which seemed to fit in with the album cover. This was after all the album he was going to promote with a tour before the lockdowns changed all these plans. In the meantime, he also released a covers album ("Only The Strong Survive") and it was apparent from the Tampa setlist that he was going to promote both of them, but he would focus more on "Letter To You". </p><p style="text-align: justify;">This time I decided to listen to my vinyl copy for the first time instead of the CD. I used to buy Bruce's albums on both vinyl and CD, but I don't do anymore because this could prove to be a costly habit. However, I decided to buy this one when I found out that it was going to be a three-side album, with the fourth side being etched. And I secured a grey coloured vinyl as well. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKNteq7MP-ftiAYTG0ERFvN-H7KLEp9XBn7LbSvEqNjW60xGI2Cpj2YbF6xMcPC5NwciOIp0axrO9BYOxIS2KMUbYWNUcDCfoIgnuiyzUprswcm2-QDCSSnv7iOXuHer1jw1IUCBrgqIsY5Anybbg2o1ywFUtLblGf_Ocn901OU-Sdt4fzgBra5Xt/s4896/DSC01954.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKNteq7MP-ftiAYTG0ERFvN-H7KLEp9XBn7LbSvEqNjW60xGI2Cpj2YbF6xMcPC5NwciOIp0axrO9BYOxIS2KMUbYWNUcDCfoIgnuiyzUprswcm2-QDCSSnv7iOXuHer1jw1IUCBrgqIsY5Anybbg2o1ywFUtLblGf_Ocn901OU-Sdt4fzgBra5Xt/w400-h225/DSC01954.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">I was surprised once again by how good an album it was. That's why I decided to write this belated review. I used to review all new Bruce albums in this blog, but somehow I stopped after "<a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2014/01/high-hopes-for-high-hopes.html">High Hopes</a>". </p><p style="text-align: justify;">First of all, it seems to be bookended by two songs about loss ("One Minute You're Here" and "I'll See You In My Dreams"). Having experienced personal loss in the past year, these two songs meant much more to me this time around. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S69N5GX2oiQ" target="_blank">title track</a>, "House Of A Thousand Guitars" and "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0ujo2oNyg4" target="_blank">Song For Orphans</a>" (the latter being one of three early songs that he re-recorded for this album) were my favourites when I first listened to it. This time round, apart from the opening and closing tracks I also appreciated "Burnin' Train" more. And let's not forget the drum intro of "Ghosts" which makes you think that he's about into "We Take Care Of Our Own" at any minute.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S69N5GX2oiQ" width="400" youtube-src-id="S69N5GX2oiQ"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a0ujo2oNyg4" width="400" youtube-src-id="a0ujo2oNyg4"></iframe></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">"Ghosts" and "Burnin' Train" look like they're going to be regulars on the setlists of this tour.

It was then that Queen, Wham! and Band Aid all released Christmas singles. ("Thank God It's Christmas", "Last Christmas" and "Do They Know It's Christmas" respectively). In the UK charts Band Aid went to number 1, Wham! were stuck at number 2 (because of Band Aid) and Queen, well, with that abundance of popular Christmas singles that year stalled at number 21. There had been of course Christmas pop hits before that and I got acquainted with most of those that were popular in the UK by acquiring "NOW The Christmas Album" (part of the "NOW That's What I Call Music" series). But then, in 1987, something happened: "A Very Special Christmas" was released with all proceeds going to the Special Olympics. That's the album which brought to my attention - albeit in new versions - the classic Christmas pop songs, several of which had been featured in what was considered the ultimate Christmas pop album: "A Christmas Gift For You", aka "Phil Spector's Christmas Album". <br /> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnRpmaiUgYWeI81PnXqkelXH7wK5hAy86yVqczQhWv1X4ciYP1xXMT7HO6AaDTktrNx0zg8a0mDloGrApetpRXk7VEO8n4o3QeTKxtAHO75i8V-Vi7oJZgpQ__eabOLRNuu0t530qqhVjPH_fcJ2JzrCLmwSgzKtu0v3PfjMcUnYXOM7in88VDCzT/s1670/A%20CHRISTMAS%20GIFT%20FOR%20YOU%20-%20Various%20Artists.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1464" data-original-width="1670" height="351" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnRpmaiUgYWeI81PnXqkelXH7wK5hAy86yVqczQhWv1X4ciYP1xXMT7HO6AaDTktrNx0zg8a0mDloGrApetpRXk7VEO8n4o3QeTKxtAHO75i8V-Vi7oJZgpQ__eabOLRNuu0t530qqhVjPH_fcJ2JzrCLmwSgzKtu0v3PfjMcUnYXOM7in88VDCzT/w400-h351/A%20CHRISTMAS%20GIFT%20FOR%20YOU%20-%20Various%20Artists.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">That's where I got "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" (sung in the "rock" way, with emphasis on the first word, the same way that Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band sing it). Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band were in it as well, with "Merry Christmas Baby", which I already had as a B-Side of "War" the first single from the "<a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-greatest-live-album-of-all-time.html">Live 1975-85</a>" box set. Other members of The E Street Band can be found on the album, namely Clarence Clemons and Roy Bittan playing on other songs. Artists from the Phil Spector Christmas album also make appearances such as Darlene Love who sings backing vocals on U2's cover of the song she herself had performed on the Phil Spector Christmas Album ("Christmas (Baby Please Come Home"). Bon Jovi were also in there with "Back Door Santa", however 5 years later that song was replaced with another from the same band, "I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas". I haven't figured why this happened. Were perhaps the lyrics of "Back Door Santa" considered too seedy for a family Christmas album? Run DMC are also there with what was probably the first hip hop Christmas song, an original called "Christmas In Hollis". But one of the highlights of the album is "Silent Night" with haunting vocals by Stevie Nicks. What makes this version more amazing is something that you would have to refer to the liner notes to discover: The backing vocals by Robbie Nevil. You might of course had easily recognized his voice, since he had a hit earlier that year with "C'Est La Vie".</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMn8Y0yp4HQfBs-Bs6ZnyTIP04nSeKsxU3FqJyfdTcLauvoheH0NQCXtcltx9OOOvK47jbYwweMsRwAhMbJS--XQtjdmg45Y_H5i91sbS3xllVhhkePV933YRAEroKHK1afsN0hDYKRBTSOT8jsXXd90Lxm56fXBGtk6i2dOXoffv61nEDy5I2SedH/s1670/A%20VERY%20SPECIAL%20CHRISTMAS%202%20-%20Various%20Artists.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1464" data-original-width="1670" height="351" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMn8Y0yp4HQfBs-Bs6ZnyTIP04nSeKsxU3FqJyfdTcLauvoheH0NQCXtcltx9OOOvK47jbYwweMsRwAhMbJS--XQtjdmg45Y_H5i91sbS3xllVhhkePV933YRAEroKHK1afsN0hDYKRBTSOT8jsXXd90Lxm56fXBGtk6i2dOXoffv61nEDy5I2SedH/w400-h351/A%20VERY%20SPECIAL%20CHRISTMAS%202%20-%20Various%20Artists.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since then there have been many more albums in that series (six more at first and then some 25th anniversary and special editions, plus a DVD).

I figured that since I was OK wearing a mask at outdoor gigs and since I had also been on a summer holiday a few days before, wearing a mask while on the ship and whenever I was indoors at a public place, I figured I could finally go to such a concert. It was, after all Belle And Sebastian. I had seen them back <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/12/greeks-in-debt-crisis-want-to-dance.html">in the summer of 2015 in Ancona</a>, at what was for me back then, <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/12/greeks-in-debt-crisis-want-to-dance.html">a legendary concert</a> and <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/12/greeks-in-debt-crisis-want-to-dance.html">one of my top 5 live gigs ever</a>, so I would have liked to see them again. In the last few years they had released an album that combined 3 EP's (How To Solve Our Human Problems), a soundtrack album ("Days Of The Bagnold Summer"), a live album during the lockdown ("What To Look For In Summer") and this year a brand new album ("A Bit Of Previous"). I had listened to all of these during the summer (I even watched the movie - The Days Of The Bagnold Summer) and so I was well prepared.<br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I set off for the venue immediately after work wearing my mask (which I wear during working hours anyway) and I arrived in time to catch a free place at the front and to the left of the stage). Support was provided by Amalia & The Architects, a Greek band and a welcome surprise (They even played a cover of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJbBVmDcI0A" target="_blank">Blister In The Sun</a>").</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSixOXy-jHJDDBw6OwTDDkIVwaMcyYAZHEJW39rSS9N8mOb_u3UyNMIs7SaECJ2xn7yHbuIfOSJm4XYmwsCzV6vSsbYXaxYYekZp-cplYzrFNHOH8OVoFJp_lUNrnRcMN5NmxHQDlqHuYWJkDpHAUSO2Qk6dANl1Qr_7GN2DneHwD1NZcCVT_c41DI/s4896/DSC00857.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSixOXy-jHJDDBw6OwTDDkIVwaMcyYAZHEJW39rSS9N8mOb_u3UyNMIs7SaECJ2xn7yHbuIfOSJm4XYmwsCzV6vSsbYXaxYYekZp-cplYzrFNHOH8OVoFJp_lUNrnRcMN5NmxHQDlqHuYWJkDpHAUSO2Qk6dANl1Qr_7GN2DneHwD1NZcCVT_c41DI/w400-h225/DSC00857.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibAqbu2BbnxZz0GYVsJZmvwo7_UataTPKbVhacRObdUd82_vrJEAB4N4h5JYZIG6wJkIBOF-EFDW-sUN44oKA-Yf1kAa8pMxpjIJKKG5pfEc4jlluq2UDXd8MoeoN3pofOjKUOIP6h7ZNen-YjZkjvMGkSvMCqO-pTa8wSOGloToSB-pliXdst7Qj4/s4896/DSC00858.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibAqbu2BbnxZz0GYVsJZmvwo7_UataTPKbVhacRObdUd82_vrJEAB4N4h5JYZIG6wJkIBOF-EFDW-sUN44oKA-Yf1kAa8pMxpjIJKKG5pfEc4jlluq2UDXd8MoeoN3pofOjKUOIP6h7ZNen-YjZkjvMGkSvMCqO-pTa8wSOGloToSB-pliXdst7Qj4/w400-h225/DSC00858.JPG" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0dSqvOTAg1E" width="400" youtube-src-id="0dSqvOTAg1E"></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VJbBVmDcI0A" width="400" youtube-src-id="VJbBVmDcI0A"></iframe></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then it was time for Stuart and his mates. It wasn't like <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/12/greeks-in-debt-crisis-want-to-dance.html">2015</a> and I didn't expect it to be like 2015 with the "special circumstances" under which we went to <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2015/12/greeks-in-debt-crisis-want-to-dance.html">that gig</a>, but it was, after all, Belle And Sebastian. It's all a matter of taste. In fact, a friend of mine who had seen them the first time they had come to Greece almost 20 years ago refused to come because they don't play the songs he wants to hear anymore. As far as I'm concerned I don't care which ones they play. "The Boy With The Arab Strap" is a sure thing and although there was no "The State I Am In" this time, or even anything from "Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance" which, in my opinion, is the best of their later albums, there were however many others to keep me happy (including "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-re64dyEteA" target="_blank">Dear Catastrophe Waitress</a>"). <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It was announced much later in the year (during the summer I think), so it turned out alright after all.

On the plus side, I wouldn't mind seeing Iggy Pop again as well whom I had seen <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2019/09/release-festival-2019-iggy-pop-james.html">at the same festival and at the same venue back in 2019</a>. I had seen <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-joshua-tree-live-under-roman-sky_9.html">Noel Gallagher play support to U2</a>, so now I would see Liam Gallagher play support to Iggy Pop. And as an added bonus, I'd also see the Sleaford Mods, who had come to Greece before and I had wanted to see them and know more about them since I first discovered them on an Uncut (or Mojo?) cover CD and understood that they were some sort of protest band for Britain in the 2010's.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqptgGcLn7DiH_fu7Bw1gAm2t1jc7Zupifpd5an8uHZ_Q0e-_N4PcIHaeoeqGtdQX_iKnMUEMaqxS1d2GcwnLzdAd2tkjppFxND31p67MMNNxZgGaqwW0xAaDKYrQFuu0jx-tUoNB6n908WLqZXDGS5-3pDtsGpgTdcNYSRlCeIOQw1k0U7_E0FMye/s4896/DSC00217.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqptgGcLn7DiH_fu7Bw1gAm2t1jc7Zupifpd5an8uHZ_Q0e-_N4PcIHaeoeqGtdQX_iKnMUEMaqxS1d2GcwnLzdAd2tkjppFxND31p67MMNNxZgGaqwW0xAaDKYrQFuu0jx-tUoNB6n908WLqZXDGS5-3pDtsGpgTdcNYSRlCeIOQw1k0U7_E0FMye/w400-h225/DSC00217.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">As you can guess, I arrived in time for Sleaford Mods and once again I met most of my friends that I usually meet at gigs. This time there were more of them as Iggy tends to attract Bruce fans. Sleaford Mods were exactly what I had expected them to be (one of their members was sporting a t-shirt with a rather unflattering message for Boris Johnson), but they had something extra for me: a cover of Yazoo's "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKFSXLyV9Mw" target="_blank">Don't Go</a>".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTTyYzgVywkBI2QPW3dwY7iGJFsn1BxbNkA_D1ql8Yg426fSTnUvqQ1CF6bD040HusSYs9UaU1LTlWrzwu-N5k-jJet-Y30iWHVIlxsl9mbRE0B1GPcOb6bcbMlrICxyOJLnzws5NJ9lNjN79YXlMI_noDdhCpQ3znshPgZLPbFB--67FeCXrny9af/s4896/DSC00218.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTTyYzgVywkBI2QPW3dwY7iGJFsn1BxbNkA_D1ql8Yg426fSTnUvqQ1CF6bD040HusSYs9UaU1LTlWrzwu-N5k-jJet-Y30iWHVIlxsl9mbRE0B1GPcOb6bcbMlrICxyOJLnzws5NJ9lNjN79YXlMI_noDdhCpQ3znshPgZLPbFB--67FeCXrny9af/w400-h225/DSC00218.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF95Bbm6v2nBjnQwrMbiQ9TopH77VaMqm7saTTdbgbs-AmTqseaBz5rE2ODfcJEP7az2nIiX2nAQCdzoR5hcVKOuwHedH8vVWygDwpWN7A2oOPKttrvZ8XO3ndTpYKpOdKJOCuYQV2XKYemQs2NmiEt2NtyRRX4GbplEMjdszGWs5ROnjZDaW9yVQh/s4896/DSC00234.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF95Bbm6v2nBjnQwrMbiQ9TopH77VaMqm7saTTdbgbs-AmTqseaBz5rE2ODfcJEP7az2nIiX2nAQCdzoR5hcVKOuwHedH8vVWygDwpWN7A2oOPKttrvZ8XO3ndTpYKpOdKJOCuYQV2XKYemQs2NmiEt2NtyRRX4GbplEMjdszGWs5ROnjZDaW9yVQh/w400-h225/DSC00234.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L9m5LntZIPU" width="400" youtube-src-id="L9m5LntZIPU"></iframe></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jKFSXLyV9Mw" width="400" youtube-src-id="jKFSXLyV9Mw"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">It was then time for Liam Gallagher. During the break I managed to locate some of my closest gig buddies, people with whom we had spent hours in the pit at Bruce Springsteen concerts, so I went with them to the very front (donning a mask of course). I was in fact asked by one of them if I was an Oasis or a Blur fan in the 90's and that brought back some memories! Truth is, although I had started as a Blur fan, I thought they went downhill after "Country House", so I switched to Oasis. And Liam himself didn't disappoint. He came up on stage wearing a rather heavy jacket, certainly too heavy for the Athenian weather which was pretty close to heatwave temperatures. Every once in a while, before launching into an Oasis song he would ask us whether there were "any Oasis fans in the audience'. However he also played <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ldS-3kkbIE" target="_blank">Beady Eye songs</a> and of course <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxuFlGz6LSY" target="_blank">his solo stuff</a>. Towards the end of his set he asked us whether there were "any Slipknot fans in the audience". And then he played "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqZ02tXV5Mg" target="_blank">Wonderwall</a>". Go figure... He also played one song ("Stand By Me") from Oasis' third album, one that Oasis wouldn't touch with a flagpole in their latter days.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMtRoNj32xoJ7g7sGzsUmXNVlPm8MAPooeCxGsEN7Cmwew-YEyDvt8IE5w6TceIRBYc7FYkpx5o5kGKoa7-Rx94lKOUoZxFw3Uzjun6FSxg6Yn0DbEFQCFm76V2xIfZDExID1JyYORQdB3EdVnHiSL1AGcPi0Kvl4eED-pCETVnnc0SXx8Ko3n0ev6/s4896/DSC00242.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMtRoNj32xoJ7g7sGzsUmXNVlPm8MAPooeCxGsEN7Cmwew-YEyDvt8IE5w6TceIRBYc7FYkpx5o5kGKoa7-Rx94lKOUoZxFw3Uzjun6FSxg6Yn0DbEFQCFm76V2xIfZDExID1JyYORQdB3EdVnHiSL1AGcPi0Kvl4eED-pCETVnnc0SXx8Ko3n0ev6/w400-h225/DSC00242.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUJhxxvpbcckrDrWwFM782fD8zzo0S2F3mP-MFJ95A7JEH5DXH1iX1JD1sDBWifkvJjvuvoIw6AekSMikwIqogRSTGaTXFLafrF0c2LlygtseKMExu4lM7GRDlWRFg_gXsy4tgiEQvCYJ4zB5dkQdVT9AOWC3dzUKFKficWik-YlET6dAKnHhUzEB/s4896/DSC00244.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUJhxxvpbcckrDrWwFM782fD8zzo0S2F3mP-MFJ95A7JEH5DXH1iX1JD1sDBWifkvJjvuvoIw6AekSMikwIqogRSTGaTXFLafrF0c2LlygtseKMExu4lM7GRDlWRFg_gXsy4tgiEQvCYJ4zB5dkQdVT9AOWC3dzUKFKficWik-YlET6dAKnHhUzEB/w400-h225/DSC00244.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kGRWJj_brmISD-r3X64IsRrGDjAU2H_5WTvRCAQS_N5P0F2UuJ_lf7ENbtnsyUuMwV1U0Fc2FSkxFBn0mFAUxOv6wroUfCSbVju5c8n50EGvsC4uLO_o51ACe5mcp1ix4GVv2z6odN-v8j5PDkhwajf0lOcMiHQNXel3_KpLBdXmdmRAi7E8Fs7c/s4896/DSC00246.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kGRWJj_brmISD-r3X64IsRrGDjAU2H_5WTvRCAQS_N5P0F2UuJ_lf7ENbtnsyUuMwV1U0Fc2FSkxFBn0mFAUxOv6wroUfCSbVju5c8n50EGvsC4uLO_o51ACe5mcp1ix4GVv2z6odN-v8j5PDkhwajf0lOcMiHQNXel3_KpLBdXmdmRAi7E8Fs7c/w400-h225/DSC00246.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0rmwMd0h9-4" width="400" youtube-src-id="0rmwMd0h9-4"></iframe></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9ldS-3kkbIE" width="400" youtube-src-id="9ldS-3kkbIE"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dxuFlGz6LSY" width="400" youtube-src-id="dxuFlGz6LSY"></iframe></div> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SqZ02tXV5Mg" width="400" youtube-src-id="SqZ02tXV5Mg"></iframe></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yooauhJIHmU" width="400" youtube-src-id="yooauhJIHmU"></iframe></div><br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">And then it all ended wonderfully with "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yooauhJIHmU" target="_blank">Champagne Supernova</a>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_kXmpBMOQ-aNJhHFCRAn2QYGecXwa7gOmQwhm5pCq-y6uIZ699XeKtSL-GB-6NtsapL-20WuUFQ8OflLjIC0tAUok-nguZ68sEp5IB__cX__bWoD-mAH59f6ZpP5XQHhCuE7DWXQa7BohM2YV4NUr_NzDgZvJKm4M0rwzlwQVm1HRmxF_NTR2JjP6/s4896/DSC00252.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_kXmpBMOQ-aNJhHFCRAn2QYGecXwa7gOmQwhm5pCq-y6uIZ699XeKtSL-GB-6NtsapL-20WuUFQ8OflLjIC0tAUok-nguZ68sEp5IB__cX__bWoD-mAH59f6ZpP5XQHhCuE7DWXQa7BohM2YV4NUr_NzDgZvJKm4M0rwzlwQVm1HRmxF_NTR2JjP6/w400-h225/DSC00252.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I went back to get some pizza and beer and by the time I had finished eating Iggy came on stage. It felt like not a single day had passed since <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2019/09/release-festival-2019-iggy-pop-james.html">2019</a>. when he had started with "I Wanna Be Your Dog". Earlier on, as we were watching Liam Gallagher, a friend of mine who had looked up his setlists on the internet told me that he kept playing the same setlist night after night and it was mostly comprised of Stooges songs However, the setlist we heard that night was completely different. And what was immediately apparent was that Iggy had a problem with his voice. It later turned out that he had changed the setlist because of this very problem and that he cancelled his further shows for the same reason. Did I have a problem with that? As I'd already told my friends Iggy is at a stage in his life and career that he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. So even if he had decided to come up on stage and f*rt to the tune of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuzvrSI3Fe0" target="_blank">The Passenger</a>", I would still be happy. He did of course play Stooges songs as well and as he was naked from the waist up as usual. Plus, he had a very beautiful female guitar player in his band!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiqZI7Li0bvx_LHtT3LTgHDALsaiOpX2mHwHPyr3nhnwnlQFOVOMAGGHnn0X0nhhkjp3vQ9pKzt0GbC-sKiJqNN7xkvH3rHicsKtXlWvdA-l_vZIB8ZGZJ4EcZr03V_MM5euswFY43jiB1tEZfXxN59aWfm5LXgdVnu8NOWaXvCCtGdHSSB5ELqRfI/s4896/DSC00258.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

In late 2019 we had been promised the <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Pet%20Shop%20Boys">Pet Shop Boys</a> for the summer of 2020. That of course was postponed for the summer of 2021. That one too was also postp</span><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">o</span>ned, this time for this summer when it finally took place. What's important to note is that the organizers didn't refund those who had already bought their tickets, but kept their money for when the rescheduled dates would take place. Sensing that something like this was going to happen I did not buy a ticket until the very last moment ie this June. And as I have already mentioned in <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2022/09/Release-Athens-Festival-2022-Lodon-Grammar-Hooverphonic-LP.html">my last post</a>, I combined this as a double ticket with <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2022/09/Release-Athens-Festival-2022-Lodon-Grammar-Hooverphonic-LP.html">the London Grammar date</a>. This would be my 4th <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Pet%20Shop%20Boys">Pet Shop Boys</a> gig, having already seen them <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2021/12/Pet-Shop-Boys-live-Birmingham-1991.html">in Birmingham in 1991</a> when the "Performance" video was filmed, <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2013/10/get-ready-to-ejekt-with-peter-hook-and.html">in Athens and in Water Square again in 2013</a> (but this time at the <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Ejekt%20Festival">Ejekt Festival</a>, not <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Release%20Festival">Release</a>) and finally <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2017/08/pet-shop-boys-and-goldfrapp-brussels.html">in 2017</a> during the <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Brussels%20Summer%20Festival">Brussels Summer Festival</a>. This would also be my second <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Thievery%20Corporation">Thievery Corporation</a> gig whom I had seen at <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2018/08/release-festival-2018-day-2-thievery.html">Release Festival 2018</a>.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"><br />We arrived in time for the third act in the bill which was Konstantinos Vita. He used to be one half of <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Stereo%20Nova">Stereo Nova</a> who I had seen <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2018/09/stereo-nova-summer-nostos-festival.html">in 2018</a> at <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Summer%20Nostos%20Festival">Nostos Summer Festival</a>.

Well, they had to play that since the tour is called “Dreamworld – The Greatest Hits Tour”. But, then again, it was the second part of the tour’s name that made it so enjoyable: “Greatest Hits”. And that’s what we got. However, I do like several tracks off that last album, my favourite two being the melancholic “Burning The Heather” and “I Don’t Wanna Go Out” which became my personal anthem during the lockdown.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The headliners were London Grammar. London Grammar were due to appear at <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2018/08/release-festival-2018-day-1-richard.html">Release Athens Festival 2018</a>, but they had to cancel at the last minute. So, <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2018/08/release-festival-2018-day-1-richard.html">Richard Ashcroft was called in to replace them</a> and I went because I wanted to see him. And now that London Grammar were finally due to perform in Athens, a friend of mine asked me to go with her because she really wanted to see them since she hadn't been able four years ago. I was reluctant at first, not being familiar with the band, started to think about it again when LP was added to the line-up, but was finally convinced when the next addition to the bill were <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Hooverphonic">Hooverphonic</a>. Now, <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2014/10/one-festival-for-road.html">I had seen Hooverphonic twice</a> before (<a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2020/09/Brussels-Summer-Festival-2019-Manic-Street-Preachers-Giorgio-Moroder.html">the second time in their native Belgium</a>), but this time it was different. The original singer, the amazing Geike had come back. I really had to see her. And so I bought the latest CD from London Grammar (that's what I do, I don't stream, I'm old-school) in order to familiarize myself with their music.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV3je6LCvt8ohyUeBFPfs4MXgFnKeWKIUaV1iIPQ9g-souYNyZ4GcvvnuV3Mmq2bN0h5tyg-j8fFGkpI3y-dvZsMC4-mqhMApdUF3WNKhAtgYo4MyG816u8Sn3X657Rx2HO_V1nX0ox0qYiVkY_qtOvgb0G7bHdtuOLx-Idu3Awqp008-PbkGBPz-B/s4896/DSC00059.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV3je6LCvt8ohyUeBFPfs4MXgFnKeWKIUaV1iIPQ9g-souYNyZ4GcvvnuV3Mmq2bN0h5tyg-j8fFGkpI3y-dvZsMC4-mqhMApdUF3WNKhAtgYo4MyG816u8Sn3X657Rx2HO_V1nX0ox0qYiVkY_qtOvgb0G7bHdtuOLx-Idu3Awqp008-PbkGBPz-B/w400-h225/DSC00059.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I took my brand new camera with me (this was the concert where it would make its debut) and we arrived at Water Square a little before Hooverphonic were due to appear. Not a lot of people had arrived by that time so I was able to see them from quite up close. All the favourites were played including my own favourite song of theirs, "Sometimes" (the song with which I discovered them) which I was finally able to hear in a proper version (compared to the acoustic one <a href="https://papdx.blogspot.com/2014/10/one-festival-for-road.html">I heard back in 2014</a>) and "The Wrong Place" Belgium's entry on the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEildhni7OItyaLXIbFtHJ5gIbjfaxhM_2ZMfuPidrUaSTYC3cYTOAJY-1_2QDpUOKhnMIHHn3i7Wh1oUdrldWcWkq2ULcgdut2k1nOa627Ah0vv4LlbWP_wJh5lSwYEgpRbGstv3ZLeVk3OIJzACrRuKtZ9T9U5XkLvSYVfeotioQV44XO-Af0SZwqo/s4896/DSC00064.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEildhni7OItyaLXIbFtHJ5gIbjfaxhM_2ZMfuPidrUaSTYC3cYTOAJY-1_2QDpUOKhnMIHHn3i7Wh1oUdrldWcWkq2ULcgdut2k1nOa627Ah0vv4LlbWP_wJh5lSwYEgpRbGstv3ZLeVk3OIJzACrRuKtZ9T9U5XkLvSYVfeotioQV44XO-Af0SZwqo/w400-h225/DSC00064.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilO9IWIsXOcsUFiOFfHt7Pn4waPULnmh79OkRjuocXw_771dVL3oba8F9BgRpH4T2-WPdFh8l25rRltN66PASI9ORryfDtY8Wu7wLvfZ7zNi63Mb1l5eNB4gtD4_K7tMgCyLV_ospntwYJzkvCpMS-4RfmKNjbP8RIfuk6cDRSVfHwBgmbFh-gCmh3/s4896/DSC00068.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilO9IWIsXOcsUFiOFfHt7Pn4waPULnmh79OkRjuocXw_771dVL3oba8F9BgRpH4T2-WPdFh8l25rRltN66PASI9ORryfDtY8Wu7wLvfZ7zNi63Mb1l5eNB4gtD4_K7tMgCyLV_ospntwYJzkvCpMS-4RfmKNjbP8RIfuk6cDRSVfHwBgmbFh-gCmh3/w400-h225/DSC00068.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vwtbEDSvHBI" width="400" youtube-src-id="vwtbEDSvHBI"></iframe></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YVbRctHOj0M" width="400" youtube-src-id="YVbRctHOj0M"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EKnsjw-n4Pw" width="400" youtube-src-id="EKnsjw-n4Pw"></iframe></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LzNeGQ63XjA" width="400" youtube-src-id="LzNeGQ63XjA"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Next up was LP. I, as like most people in Greece, got to know her through "Lost On You" and I'm mostly familiar with that song. Her later songs probably didn't get as much promotion. The start of the set was great, but we got tired after a while, probably because we weren't very familiar with most songs and partly because maybe this wasn't the right slot for her in the line-up. I believe Hooverphonic would have been more suitable to appear before the headliners because their music seems to "gel" more with that of London Grammar. (And perhaps she would have fit the bill better a few days later with Liam Gallagher and Iggy Pop). So we moved towards the back of the crowd on order to combine the alcohol we had brought from home with the cokes that were offered at the festival. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONJKKHk3gVYODmkhGvS1xjEPTG1H1-9d9TMAY69iOye1wmY13DfIruFEmMBHvMY2x9JtrnxhjgWyRo0KQYlTtktIN78347n_nZ2Za2M14FtIg9mNcryZe5HsWRL6W9KjGa7VFNxFY_8749b-oc8iszGmcNg315ZZ6J0fel9cMale1s9870Iie5UPs/s4896/DSC00114.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONJKKHk3gVYODmkhGvS1xjEPTG1H1-9d9TMAY69iOye1wmY13DfIruFEmMBHvMY2x9JtrnxhjgWyRo0KQYlTtktIN78347n_nZ2Za2M14FtIg9mNcryZe5HsWRL6W9KjGa7VFNxFY_8749b-oc8iszGmcNg315ZZ6J0fel9cMale1s9870Iie5UPs/w400-h225/DSC00114.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, it wasn't her fault and she was very energetic on stage, closing the set with the song most people expected to hear: "Lost On You".</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuMhneXs7T2OSFv_w_WzBkvlAG9XD7rVNMXEgJb2Y7KhL965XdUUHbAS-15uT6vaFn5xyQm17rAo19LWenLB16vveSFinNYZzswaXSMK-UiAseBvZbIY-3Atqt9sF2CvQBqukwa01dkmoMDQZDyeJvMyDg3tHCEKS144mHJi9fivw-sPCK5IGaijXY/s4896/DSC00094.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuMhneXs7T2OSFv_w_WzBkvlAG9XD7rVNMXEgJb2Y7KhL965XdUUHbAS-15uT6vaFn5xyQm17rAo19LWenLB16vveSFinNYZzswaXSMK-UiAseBvZbIY-3Atqt9sF2CvQBqukwa01dkmoMDQZDyeJvMyDg3tHCEKS144mHJi9fivw-sPCK5IGaijXY/w400-h225/DSC00094.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdBHcQ9b1Jg-2pp7ektSjTOAmD36TjG3bjBRSy5NhBt6568jfWwMf0O5ydZnEvMMBW_TY_aEEm3944JmKuo2W0LblqDDBXsAoT0eH8hmBBNmEC0TInCq4lQlsnonJJ3wdPo9rqGds9xdwNzIYIFFgd8EZxllqf-kTHri3UVmMQ2Yu8X-ZfK6K18i6k/s4896/DSC00109.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="4896" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdBHcQ9b1Jg-2pp7ektSjTOAmD36TjG3bjBRSy5NhBt6568jfWwMf0O5ydZnEvMMBW_TY_aEEm3944JmKuo2W0LblqDDBXsAoT0eH8hmBBNmEC0TInCq4lQlsnonJJ3wdPo9rqGds9xdwNzIYIFFgd8EZxllqf-kTHri3UVmMQ2Yu8X-ZfK6K18i6k/w400-h225/DSC00109.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9YiiBSfYBng" width="400" youtube-src-id="9YiiBSfYBng"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sN_sM-KQGc0" width="400" youtube-src-id="sN_sM-KQGc0"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;">And then it was time for London Grammar and the occasion that I had hoped to avoid. We realized that we had the chance to get really close to the stage. So what should we do? Well, we wore our masks. We noticed that there were other people doing the same thing and nobody was looking at them in a strange way, so we went for it.<br />This was the band's first gig outside the UK for three years (due, of course, to the pandemic) and they enjoyed it as much as we did. They played mostly songs from their latest album and that was alright with me because these were the ones I was mostly familiar with.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

However I had decided that four dates of this year's Release Athens Festival were the ideal ones for me to return to proper concerts. The idea was this: They were open air gigs, the pandemic had somehow slowed down, so all I had to do was not go to the very front and experience them from somewhere at the back. The only thing that I insisted on was that I was not going to buy the tickets until the very last minute. You see, most of these acts had been announced for 2020 (Bauhaus and Pet Shop Boys for instance), then postponed for 2021 and then again rescheduled for 2022. That wasn't the main problem though. What was annoying was that the people who had bought the tickets back in 2019 were not offered a refund. What they got instead was the promise that their tickets would remain valid for the date the gig actually took place. Whereas the money I had paid for a festival at London's <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Hyde%20Park">Hyde Park</a> was refunded to me up to the very last penny. Plus I couldn't be sure, even if most concerts went ahead that the ones I had selected would actually take place because what we've seen a lot this year was that if one member of a band tested positive the whole date was cancelled.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I had actually contemplated going to see <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Still%20Corners">Still Corners</a> earlier in the year, but I backed out of it because it was at an indoor venue. So, I narrowed it down to four Release Athens festival dates: Bauhaus, London Grammar, Pet Shop Boys and Iggy Pop. An additional thing that also helped was that there were some "two-day"
ticket offers costing cheaper than buying two single tickets for the
same dates instead. So, I bought one two day ticket for Bauhaus and Iggy Pop, and another one for London Grammar and Pet Shop Boys.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When I arrived at <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Water%20Square">Water Square</a>, I realized I could go ahead with my plan: Get in, not wear a mask and stay at the back. It helped, because there weren't as many people there that day as on other dates even though I didn't arrive early because all I wanted to see was just The Jesus And Mary Chain and Bauhaus. When I did get in, it was like not one day had passed since 2019. I met most of my friends that I usually meet at gigs at Water Square, most of whom I hadn't seen since 2019.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Jesus And Mary Chain finally started their set. I had seen them <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2017/07/ejekt-festival-2017-day-2-kasabian.html">at the exact same place five years ago</a>, back in 2017. Although I preferred the setlist they played back in the day, all the favourites were still here.<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSyNlY7syeyFbnLe69kB_4W6P086Iy-6xmPORsUajqeYKBjAxj3eBChKrv_UHs7G3-0PA2CQtxm-CqxjXd73h68zV85VgfH2aguiyI0OJRAkY9-bZPH1jhqpb9cb2LwddpYO5JhWHHeh_xm7fC4tLyl_TiLNzKfCBVhKumfLvAZJ4uPRxEhPZy4fYI/s5184/DSC06106.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSyNlY7syeyFbnLe69kB_4W6P086Iy-6xmPORsUajqeYKBjAxj3eBChKrv_UHs7G3-0PA2CQtxm-CqxjXd73h68zV85VgfH2aguiyI0OJRAkY9-bZPH1jhqpb9cb2LwddpYO5JhWHHeh_xm7fC4tLyl_TiLNzKfCBVhKumfLvAZJ4uPRxEhPZy4fYI/w400-h300/DSC06106.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NA1KaPoHV4E" width="400" youtube-src-id="NA1KaPoHV4E"></iframe> <br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1BQv4ewgG9c" width="400" youtube-src-id="1BQv4ewgG9c"></iframe><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwFqjQ0sWcHeuZQYEY8PcNX2JozdJYJcfwBucMOPJj_uagap_T0Bz38CAW8hu6A_R0vtOG0Q0I4Zue7SPxZ1SXpT2VmLFAJ_6Q3KrhjWZrTuF6J_crvjxH8P1iWUOBsgtMAnGVJLE7GzKCtePsAyQ9uhPuCOy_rYbDOA4MNnyfleVtQWvlALlvW-UJ/s5184/DSC06118.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwFqjQ0sWcHeuZQYEY8PcNX2JozdJYJcfwBucMOPJj_uagap_T0Bz38CAW8hu6A_R0vtOG0Q0I4Zue7SPxZ1SXpT2VmLFAJ_6Q3KrhjWZrTuF6J_crvjxH8P1iWUOBsgtMAnGVJLE7GzKCtePsAyQ9uhPuCOy_rYbDOA4MNnyfleVtQWvlALlvW-UJ/w400-h300/DSC06118.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After the JAMC set was over and while waiting for Bauhaus I started chatting to someone whose face looked quite familiar. He was Johnny Highway from the Greek band <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/search/label/Mr.%20Highway%20Band">Mr.Highway Band</a> that I've seen at least three times live!<br /></div><div><div><p style="text-align: justify;">And then it was time for Bauhaus, the main reason I went to the gig. Their date had also been announced three years ago for 2020 and I had thought of going even then. I remember listening to Bauhaus and The Birthday Party on the radio and reading about them in POP + ROCK magazine during the early eighties. And since I managed to see <a href="http://papdx.blogspot.com/2018/11/ejekt-festival-2018-nick-cave-and-bad.html">Nick Cave four years ago</a> (who in the intervening years had become extremely popular in Greece), I also wanted to see Bauhaus.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Now, I knew beforehand that their set wasn't going to be very long. But as everybody knows by now those sound problems came up, irritating Peter Murphy and cutting their set even shorter. He left the stage during <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh-m-PQ8wQI" target="_blank">Ziggy Stardust</a> leaving his guitarist to finish the song. However, all the songs I wanted to hear were played (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dxq855uX_8" target="_blank">Telegram Sam</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90pjf_JjPf0" target="_blank">She's In Parties</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh-m-PQ8wQI" target="_blank">Ziggy Stardust</a> and a couple of others). Because of that, unlike others, I'm not going to complain or ask for my money back because I've seen what I wanted to see, I've experienced what I wanted to experience.<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheZkUUOxJX5wXwJ38oKQgkKhyxA565O5TuA1ISm3dwK9mISWCta3NFhcBfaeJ-lIsgTvPmZcJvxFxsARKfbrC7XwwwVlotcx30nyxpB7MjWsAlIo3U-v5ooQhtZTtKZgJhbDidd9cGPOz1KNBt23Sk3sd7_3R9q-i7h7jJNrwnPZwSYnFKMf4f175O/s5184/DSC06139.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheZkUUOxJX5wXwJ38oKQgkKhyxA565O5TuA1ISm3dwK9mISWCta3NFhcBfaeJ-lIsgTvPmZcJvxFxsARKfbrC7XwwwVlotcx30nyxpB7MjWsAlIo3U-v5ooQhtZTtKZgJhbDidd9cGPOz1KNBt23Sk3sd7_3R9q-i7h7jJNrwnPZwSYnFKMf4f175O/w400-h300/DSC06139.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SwqATBN_cDU" width="400" youtube-src-id="SwqATBN_cDU"></iframe><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/90pjf_JjPf0" width="400" youtube-src-id="90pjf_JjPf0"></iframe></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4dxq855uX_8" width="400" youtube-src-id="4dxq855uX_8"></iframe><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kh-m-PQ8wQI" width="400" youtube-src-id="Kh-m-PQ8wQI"></iframe><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZk9gwTEpYlqJIjol4H7-rLXPkn8KvJVW4EY3ABnfmKvZIz-SHqfZLbmL2dq6binJjteepYngmkTDglsg53G8V3nqB_-zFeN1kC0ANH8bJylgMVVXV9q6C4jLuL1FQS3O-9gb3cIXuTv8xh7W30r9QHinb-ZiHp9vDJhSZsuNNWlPK9sHk11P20f5-/s5184/DSC06144.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZk9gwTEpYlqJIjol4H7-rLXPkn8KvJVW4EY3ABnfmKvZIz-SHqfZLbmL2dq6binJjteepYngmkTDglsg53G8V3nqB_-zFeN1kC0ANH8bJylgMVVXV9q6C4jLuL1FQS3O-9gb3cIXuTv8xh7W30r9QHinb-ZiHp9vDJhSZsuNNWlPK9sHk11P20f5-/w400-h300/DSC06144.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I did end up wearing a mask in the end but only while getting out of the venue where there were a lot of people around me. And finally, this was the last gig for my then current camera which after showing some problems with the extraction of the lens, had to be retired, at least from concert use. A new, but similar one, featuring a retractable display screen to facilitate taking selfies would be used from the next gig...<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2WlsFaxZhe48tPX96Hh2jvzYs6lvm41RImOaTCh6LWAT5A4rhLPGbjIMxm2Z4mJuv2hbhTaofjBeHbsZo4du_QWWTtwm7feM_MvhgqQ9HIZYvKerNH5TTkAFev_D0AG1pFcezvQL9cbuqYm7ZtHyWp30e0LoZ3Gq15bteDJuhf4-IY7U70ldpus62/s1715/BAUHAUS%20Ticket.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="897" data-original-width="1715" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2WlsFaxZhe48tPX96Hh2jvzYs6lvm41RImOaTCh6LWAT5A4rhLPGbjIMxm2Z4mJuv2hbhTaofjBeHbsZo4du_QWWTtwm7feM_MvhgqQ9HIZYvKerNH5TTkAFev_D0AG1pFcezvQL9cbuqYm7ZtHyWp30e0LoZ3Gq15bteDJuhf4-IY7U70ldpus62/w400-h209/BAUHAUS%20Ticket.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE8gI6_RKPJbFyBNxz2oLdkCXYx6UMaJ3M6KAcyR76EXnf6Tc4SY63rOc0F554t1HlZYCsjnUDIKrGconE_GBf2Suor4o1Bk62E2CFwbAnHhpSfKQfC7E9tTCDSUhwarHvrTqqMLYZ67tA75yi6WPna91KHS4efRmRUJG8FS95UOZdZ7OuTlm67_bZ/s1715/BAUHAUS%20Ticket%20%5BBack%5D.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="897" data-original-width="1715" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE8gI6_RKPJbFyBNxz2oLdkCXYx6UMaJ3M6KAcyR76EXnf6Tc4SY63rOc0F554t1HlZYCsjnUDIKrGconE_GBf2Suor4o1Bk62E2CFwbAnHhpSfKQfC7E9tTCDSUhwarHvrTqqMLYZ67tA75yi6WPna91KHS4efRmRUJG8FS95UOZdZ7OuTlm67_bZ/w400-h209/BAUHAUS%20Ticket%20%5BBack%5D.png" width="400" /></a></div></div><div> <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVllxBXspdS04wobtA-9yitM5QY1SrF85tvSIClTSUo-Z1jn9hpdR2Ue501j6QoFhaVnqFC_eRXtHlqhgpLh0zO3AdY1er_Hp8tEpSE6d6ctkIcT-pWxIEI5vQud_aCrP6rje3_w-WEc6gLzh1pMZ1IurklRzVN05SMeo5LzqAxZ9MiZLoLMtKNIsp/s1650/IGGY%20POP%20+%20BAUHAUS%20Ticket%20(Censored).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1171" data-original-width="1650" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVllxBXspdS04wobtA-9yitM5QY1SrF85tvSIClTSUo-Z1jn9hpdR2Ue501j6QoFhaVnqFC_eRXtHlqhgpLh0zO3AdY1er_Hp8tEpSE6d6ctkIcT-pWxIEI5vQud_aCrP6rje3_w-WEc6gLzh1pMZ1IurklRzVN05SMeo5LzqAxZ9MiZLoLMtKNIsp/w400-h284/IGGY%20POP%20+%20BAUHAUS%20Ticket%20(Censored).jpg" width="400" /></a><br /></div><div>SETLISTS:<div><p style="text-align: left;">THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN<br />01.
