Kate Bush - General Excitement Thread

[spring hall convert]

The first date of her London residency is tomorrow.

Who's going? When have you got tickets for? What are you expecting?

I'm going on 12 September so any element of surprise will be long gone by then!

2 September, so one week into the run. The set/performance/installation/event, whatever it turns out to be, will have been analysed and reported to death. There must have been a dozen articles in the papers over the past few days alone on the divine Kate, her music, her influence etc, not to mention the excellent BBC doc.

What I am expecting is something out of the ordinary. Beyond that, no idea.

Never been so excited about a concert in my life tbh, and I saw my first concert at the Dome in 1971....

A bit wrinkly and a now grey Bush, perhaps?

Wish i was going.

 

[Weststander]

Wish we were going. Almost as soon as they were announced, all tickets were snapped up.

I thought i would get a ticket quite easily and so i was shocked how quickly it was sold out.

Did a quick search of the ticket agencies just now - one or two tickets are around but at £100 upwards

Bah, no, didnt get one. I left it up to my girlfriend to get one and she's far less anal than me so no luck there.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

No but wish I was.

That documentary t'other night was a timely reminder of how fantastic the singer was and how beautiful some of her back catalogue was. Some of it was grimly naff tho eh (be honest). But the beautiful heavily outweighed the naff so its all good. Would love her to make it through the full series of gigs but sadly see it ending in tears earlydoors.

Bargin: "For many of her fans, a piece of Kate Bush merchandise is the closest they will come to their idol. Her 22 shows at the Hammersmith Apollo, west London, starting this Tuesday and ending on 1 October, sold out in 15 minutes in March. Resale sites are asking for as much as £1,500 a ticket."

Reminds me of that old saying " two in the hand is worth one in Kate Bush"

Wish I was going. I wonder if the audience will heed her pleas to not film and just watch.

Probably not, there's always the few that will think they're above the rules.

I do wish I was able to go. Both Mrs Grombleton & I are big fans but the tickets were gone before we had the chance.

I watched that documentary with interest. I never really appreciated how well respected she was by other artists and just how prolific a writer she was at such a young age. I've never been a huge fan but after watching that my admiration for her work has gone up significantly. If you are lucky enough to be going, enjoy!

I hope so but I seriously doubt it.

 

[Leighgull]

Still the most interesting musician around.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I hope so but I seriously doubt it.

I hope you will be suprised. It will be an older muso crowd so hopefully respectful. I saw PJ Harvey some time ago and she attracts a more mature punter and I did not see a single phone out and the crowd was silent during the more delicate moments.
