Indeed  If it's any consolation, at least RTF is going through St. Louis... And Tull seems to have been coming here yearly -------------

Can I just say that I saw Fish in Manchester last December and he was outstanding. His voice was the best I had heard it in over 20 years and his band was on fire. I presume that Frank Usher has recovered from his heart-attack. The "13th Star" tour seems blighted... |

Saw Fish last night on the 13th Star tour in Tavistock.. Excellent show, He has lost none of his magic. ------------- Do you remember, Do you recall, the smell of school dining halls and backstreet brawls? |

Frank was looking well on Friday night, I spoke to him after the show, he said he is on the road to recovery and taking it easy.
It was a member of the road crew in the wars on Friday, with one arm up in a sling, he had apparently closed his hand in a door taking off the tip (bone'n'all) off a finger or two (ouch!) ... rendering himeslf blinkin useless (not the exact phrase Fish used!!!)
The show was superb though, Fish is one of the great entertainers we have, his performance is always 100% .
If you get a chance to see him in the states you should break a leg to get there. Even if he is not playing in your home town, if it is at all possible try to get to a show get there!
With the £ / $ dollar ratio as it is , it is extremely tough to be able to come and play in the USA from the UK , please spread the word and support this incredible tour!
And be prepared a Fish show is like no other you will ever see!

an unfortunate choice of phrase  So is Frank back playing now? His doctor might suggest laying off the bottle of white wine he guzzles during the gig, at least that seemed to be what he was drinking during the Manchester gig.. |

I saw the Sunsets tour gig in Montreal, never laughed so often and so hard at a concert! He is so bloody funny and such a huge (sorry HUGE) presence. "I would walk a thousand miles, I will swim all the ocean floor" (quote from Roxy Music's If There 's Something) to see that lumbering Scotsman! ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |
