Re: The Tour 2017

Hi Andrey, Did you get a chance to see Chris and his management? All his albums are now on Spotify. So I can't imagine he's not interested. Anneke Hello Anneke! In brief: there was no chance to meet CR team anywhere apart from the gig itself, so no any hint on having a chat, unlike Moscow, where my...

Re: The Tour 2017

Tomorrow's the day, eh Andrew? I'm waiting for your impressions. I presume the event was sold out well in advance and the tickets were not cheap either, right? Have a great time. Chris Hello Chris, yes, CR is here in St. Pete tomorrow and yesterday he was in Moscow. The first reviews are positive, ...

Re: The Tour 2017

In Baloise I imagine Chris nervous since that concert has been recorded for television and that makes him tense. But I was lucky to know that the band was very satisfied with that show Thank you Hernan for pointing out the Baloise show was professionally filmed, here is the link to see this shot (n...

Re: The Tour 2017

Chris is quite famous and popular in Russia (I think more popular than in The Netherlands). Is there a huge increase in ticket price this year? Has the new album promoted poorly? Do people have enough to see the same show over and over again? Hello Leo, I think, Chris's popularity in Russia is more...

Hello MRB, me waiting for St Petersburg gig on Nov the 15th, been promised to get 2 free tickets by the gig promoter in return for my help in advertising which is actually very scarce and ticket sales are pretty poor. Tried to contact promotion authorities for radio or TV interviews or meet & gr...

This version is actually not brand new - he played it in the same way upon Just Passing Through Tour in late 1986 (but there were snippets from Winning in that piano-driven version).

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Well, the setlists from 2006 on have been nearly identical and I cannot believe any german fan would approve that - or even demand it... maybe if the setlist consisted of hits only. It's clear to me that he has to play a few hits - every artist is expected to do that - and I guess 80% of the audien...

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Cover song is master piece of a song, "Ain't No Sunshine", interesting choise anyway. I just had no chance so far to listen to the full performance, just been told it was not a CR song. But! He played this standard back then in mid 70s with (one of) his first band(s) - you can hear it on ...

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Moving on, this sounds so painfully cheesy & cheerful and vain remake, original from Stony Road is really good one. Original is haunting and bluesy, Chris's vocals with minimal music on the background gives me chills. And I liked how Chris did the same to Moving On as he once did to Electric Gu...

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Hello everyone, bought the album on iTunes to find out if I need a physical copy and here is my first impression short review. The assumption that the singles might not be the typical music of the album and it is in indeed the old style Rea unexpectedly turned out to be right. The 2 "roady"...

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Hi Anneke, it may be because you prepaid for a "signed" copy and that is why you have to wait while the non-signed copies may be already on their way to those who put pre-orders later. I recall it was the same with signed bundles of Still So Far to Go in 2009 - the 350 signed items were sh...
