[Mael-list] London's calling

[Stef Streur]

Hi all,

just a few thoughts to share about the first 2 shows:

-Russ is still brilliant ! 
What an extreemly difficult bunch of songs to sing . Moon over Kentucky, Angus desire ??
-The backing vocals are very well served by the guitar players. I had never really noticed how important they were on these albums.
-are the T-shirts, that the band are wearing, for sale on the venue, or have they only done 21 shirts times 4 bandmembers ?
-my fav last night was "Big bands" and tonight it was :Whippings and Appl'''es" as an original album track. But who would have thought, when we got our hands on the demo tapes (about 12 years ago now, I think), that we would ever see Sparks donig these demo songs live !?!  "Art & Craft Specta""cles" was by  far the best song of these 2 shows.
I think that I would have prefered an other demo song last night, as "England" can also be played on the BB night.
-What would have happened if Sparks had ever released a double album (I mean a real original one and not 2 of them....?)
 This show lasted about 54 minutes. With a double album you would have got more music for your money.
-if they end each night with an obscure song; I wonder which night they will play: "the wedding of Russell to JK" ?

-maybe someone at the shows can put the cameraman on a box of beer, so we can see more of the band instead of backs of heads.  At the first show I had only found out about a guitarplayer on stage during the 3rd song and was much suprised to find a second one during the encore !? Was this due to my pc or did we all miss these 2 bandmembers ?

-Ron's choreography was astonishing as usual.
