David Sylvian

David Sylvian is on tour later this year, just got my tickets for the Royal Festival Hall gig. Tour dates listed in the link below:

Looks like its a big drive to Dublin for me in Sept. pain in the tits that so many folks don't play Belfast

 

I am sure the drive will be worth it

I have seen David several times, I did drive from Reno Nevada to San Francisco one year to see him when I lived there, that's over 200 miles,....but worth it unquestionably.

It was the Everything & Nothing tour I believe when he played the Warfield.

I used to be a member of the Sylvian forum 'Trophies' and several of us arranged to 'back-up' the gigs we were attending

Therefore I have Warfield, Boston and NYC where Ryuichi Sakamoto appeared as a surprise guest on CD-R.

 

Yes, I did notice that...Vicker Street in Dublin, nice.

Still deciding whether to go to Peter Gabriel this Friday at Marley Park (watching the weather forcasts!!)

I have seen some of the set-lists from the latest concerts and he's doing all the old stuff..

 

Sylvian tickets on the floor in the post as I just arrived home ....woot!

I'd be going to Marley on Fri if I didn't have to take a group of kids to Alton Towers for the weekend

 

Cool, PG set-lists are here if you haven't seen them already.

I always wanted to hear PG and band play "Big Time" live as I have never even heard a live recording of it and wonder how they pull off all that cool bass and kick drum stuff.

 

I flew over to Liverpool a few years ago to see Gabriel play in a big tent. It was amazing even though there was no fancy show.

 

I think his "back to basics" concerts are the best. Saw him at Adelaide WOMAD in the early 90's and it was basically a warm up show for the "Us" tour. A few cock-ups along the way but still a great show and I just couldn't take my eyes of Tony Levin...he's a dude.

My parents are over from Oz this week, first time I've seen them for years but sod it, I'll probably go to the concert!!!
