Hello Tina, yes these are truly mine illegal photos, illegally made by illegally smuggled camera ;) unfortunately not much of them are worth showing, but here you go. Let's not report this to any authority ;)Tina3 wrote: Are these your photos from the concert ? They are great.....just look at the expression on Chris's face.I hope he is as happy as this when he gets to Dublin at the end of the tour and not too tired to still enjoy it.
As for the Angels it is difficult to answer.I love the idea of Angels and been able to fly... flying away from sad and difficult times,if it was just that simple. The whole meaning of that song "Dancing The Blues Away" I love.This is not the correct section of the forum to post this :)....hope I don't get told off sorry guys :)
Hi Mr Blues.Mr_Blues wrote: Well, that was ment to be positive thing, that they do enjoy themselves on stage, of course they have to enjoy of it, otherways there would not be any tour at all. And for sure, that was not any blame to mention their enjoying themselves, are you nuts? About plain talking, well there´s action in it as well, if the tour would have been a whole lot of different with the setlist I would have to think of the going to gig seriously and that would have to mean of going to whole another country to see a show, which I have done two times so far. So, do not talk about talking when you can go to show in your own country, if not in your own home town?
And what comes to same old setlist, I rather go see unknown local blues band with rarely the same setlist twice than see the show which has all the same songs during the whole tour. That is like getting milk from store and live performance should not be like that.
Funny Still great photos thoughZgred wrote:yes these are truly mine illegal photos, illegally made by illegally smuggled camera unfortunately not much of them are worth showing, but here you go. Let's not report this to any authority
Zgred wrote:Oh my, it's nice to know your opinion on angels, but actually I was referring to the typo, "Angles" instead of "Angels
Now well, I would have to travel too long and spend night or two to be able to see the show and my choice is not to go. Takes too much time and euros for a one show which doesn´t satisfy me in its current form. But sure you do go if you want to, won´t be stopping you with gun in my hand or anythingZgred wrote:Hi Mr Blues.Mr_Blues wrote: Well, that was ment to be positive thing, that they do enjoy themselves on stage, of course they have to enjoy of it, otherways there would not be any tour at all.

I get your point. But our Chris is just like that... he decided to launch this tour the way it looks. The only voting you can do, is going to see him or not going. Having choice limited to this two options, I would rather swallow those bits of dislike for hearing almost the same stuff, and go see the Man.
You fired the gun, but you missed concerning the "own country/home town", you are mistaken my friend. It's true that Warsaw is my home town, and going to see CR is not really an effort. Do not start blaming me for that, would you? I'm sorry for you being forced to make a long trip, just to spend 2 hours, and yet with Paul Casey warming you up If you consider it worthwhile or not, is up to you.
During previous tour, I was at Warsaw show of course, but also in Prague about month earlier, including logistic problems and spending the night at railway station. BUT. I don't give a **** if it was not in my country, and I would go to another country even knowing there would be 5x RtH played with same red lights
I would like humbly to repeat myself, that Electric Guitar hit the spot, I could as well enter the concert, hear it once, and go out being satisfied it was i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e.
You can call this eating marketing **** or whatever but this is my way of showing respect to him. I owe him something big, probably like many of us here. Yet I have the whole discography at hand, and I can arrange me any tracklist I want in a few seconds. Let him play what he wants to play, go and enjoy.
Respect for supporting local unknown (blues) bands!
Peace!
Please do not use bad language like this even with the middle letters blanked out.
Kev.
Hi Don,don corleone wrote: The ticket price! Chris Rea, even now, some will scream, now commercially plays in the second division. That's hard, but true! 58 euros for a place in the last third of the hall is simply not justified. For 70 euros you can see Springsteen (3 hour concerts, changing setlists every gig) at the stadium and choose the place itself.
If I recall right my ticket was around 40 € when I saw Chris back in 2008, gig was in Tallinn, Estonia.don corleone wrote: The ticket price!

Sorry, I can't degree. That sounds like that you say that if the Ticket costs 300 Euro!Tina3 wrote:Hi Everyone
My ticket cost €50 this time. If I remember correctly slightly more expensive than last time but still great value for what you get

I hope I have understood your post correctly but if I have misunderstood I ask for patience as I speak English and not another language (shame on me)don corleone wrote:Sorry, I can't degree. That sounds like that you say that if the Ticket costs 300 Euro!
don corleone wrote:Anyway, I can not exactly say what I really like this keeps the concert as breathtakingl, brilliant or designated. It was good, OK, but it was lacking halt a few percent, something, not accurately determined, was missing in the end. Maybe have seen too many concerts in the last few years? Was it the missing element of surprise?
