Rod Stewart @ the Amex - 13th June

[pasty]

Had this not been at the Amex I would not have bothered, I have seen Rod a few times around 25 or so years ago so will be interesting to see what he is like live now plus the more important bonus of it being at the Amex.

Wasn't the Fat Boy Slim concert a total shambles on catering ?

Must admit the same thing. Had it not been at The Amex I doubt a Rod Stewart gig would even have registered on my radar. And yes, according to my step-daughter who went, the catering at the FBS gig was awful. Over an hour queue just to get a bottle of water!!!!

The caterers have confirmed that they won't run out of disco biscuits at Rod's gig.

I wonder if Falmer station will be shut after the GIG ? I wouldn't be surprised as like the Fat Boy SILM thing the promoters won't pay for the stewarding and the extra trains and nobody bothers to pay so Southern won't have any incentive to run a service.

Admitting you like Rod Stewart is almost as uncool on NSC as admitting you like Coldplay, almost.

I will be there as my wife is a Rod Stewart fan. I used to be before he joined and ruined Stevie Marriott's Small Faces.

I am not looking forward or Sailing but I am hoping he sings Reason To Believe, and that it is a pleasant summer's evening weather wise.

Edit

Just checked to see if I can find a set list and if it's similar to this one I won't be too disappointed. I like quite a few of these

Big shame he's not bringing Santana who he's been on tour with in the States.

Not that old chestnut ' I'm going because the wife's going' !!

Any idea what time he is on? Can you take your own food and soft drinks? Saw him twice last year with my kids and he is till good. We go to a lot of concerts and the old ones still rock. Neil Young next month and Ian Hunter's 75th in October at the Concorde. He is still making great albums. Seen him about eight times in last five years.

I am going with the missus, she is a massive fan and I got a huge number of brownie points when I presented them to her as a xmas present.

Plus if there is a decent crowd for this then next time they might get a band I actually like for the next one.

I assume we will be able to drink alcohol at our seats for this? That will be a new experience.

 

[papajaff]

I'm not going but I hope it's good for everyone who is going. I went to see him at Twickenham a few years back and the sound was terrible. Was only able to enjoy it when we blagged our way to near the stage and was stood near some speakers.

Due to poor ticket sales this event has been brought forward and moved to a smaller venue.

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Any tickets left??

There may be some of these free volunteer spaces available...

Rod Stewart? How embarrassing.

Could have been worse though. At Portman Road they've just hosted a concert by... Barry Manilow!

Embarrassing for who??

Sadly yes. In all my years of gig going I have never seen anything so bad. What made it shocking is that big gig catering is not new or rocket science; plenty of established gig catering companies can do it well.

Rod and I at a concert in the US a few years back.

He told me he remembered his Brighton busking days with real fondness and always looks out for the Albion's results on SSN. "A piece of my heart will always be in Brighton. I spent most of my earnings playing the half crown coin pusher on the Palace Pier".

Save yerself a few quid and queueing for pies and cokes:

Sit indoors, whack this on the radiogram and stare at this photo for a while.

Job done

 

[Brovion]

My wife and my mum are going. What time's he on? The doors open at about 17:30 but the tickets don't say what time he starts. My wife's taking a blade as there's a buzz that some Elton John fans might turn up and try and ambush the Stewarters on the way up from Falmer station. She's hoping to slice a few of them before she gets nicked.

 

[Fran Hagarty]

Taking Mrs P. Got tickets on the pitch so can't wait to see the stadium from there.

Same here. Can't wait!
