SPARKS

I would consider murdering someone if it meant I could be in the studio while R&R were working on an album.

Mark 11 is funny though.

Obviously a man with a lot of time on his hands who may perhaps be questioning his own sexuality.

Well, I'm sure we've all been there. I've only just realised, ther ...

Aussie and Ron = Genius, I couldn’t agree more.
I don’t mean about the original posting, which is great (all power to you, PlanetRick), but the unbelievably poisonous thing it mutated into, via Mark ...

"Thou shalt not lie with man-kind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself there-with: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie d ...

Just to point out.."form the basis of the set"..to my mind always meant..that the songs FROM the top selection would be considered for inclusion,(nothing was guaranteed)and played with other ...

If R&R are intending to make a commercial release of the Shepherds Bush gig they may have wanted to avoid the need to have one track which has songwriting credits beyond "Ron and Russell Mael ...

A sublime concert from a unique and utterly wonderful artistic force. Christ, I love this band! When I think how much pleasure and creative inspiration they've given me over the last 35 years, I sho ...

I suppose they could do "The Singles" from each album. But I think there were different ones for different countries, so it might be a bit messy.

More of the same from me, too.
And to the web-streamers. I had no idea we were going to get access to all of those gigs.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAASEE do something about the sound which is TERRIBLE!!!

CD Pulse was poor, but justin.tv is even worse!

What's the point of an OK-ish picture and terrible sound?? ...

One question - why has Russell taken to saying "Thank Ya" over the last week or so? Has he been saying this before and I haven't noticed? It sounds odd to me, but then I'm from the home coun ...

Just got back from the gig.
Autons were excellent. If they had been supporting any band other than Sparks, the headliners would have been getting seriously worried.
MTYCDT had really in-your-face ...

i dont guess there will be wedding clothes

IMHO the album is packed with great songs but its horribly produced, this could be another winner of the 21x21 spectacular

Nicotinaaa ...

I guess that R&R will be cautiously talking about a "best of" release as neither of them are going to want any of the "mistakes" , minimal and fun as they are, to be available ...

Fanbloodytastic, IMO.
Russell's greatest performance so far in these gigs.
WTS is an incredibly strenuous album for a vocalist. I've known Russell use his falsetto when the tenor notes are too high ...

As with Big Beat and especially with Introduciing, the live performance was a remarkably improved experience. It wasn't as great as those earlier ones, and there was still a problem with Ron's keyboa ...

It's Number 54, well done to the guys this is the highest charting album since Indiscreet.

I think we all know it should be Number 1 though!

Great news! It's just possible that the enormous fi ...

Russell, in particular, is becoming more intimate with the audience during these gigs than I've ever seen him before. I loved the bit at the end where Ron came forward to be appreciated. The crowd ...

That was fantastic! It seems Introducing is one of those albums that really catches fire when it's live. One of the greatest assets R&R have for these gigs is the band. Those chaps are doing a ...
