This has been a staple of his live gigs for the last ten years. In the words of Sylvia Plath, at f**king last.
He's only announced US dates so far and I'm hoping for Europe cos I've never seen a Beatle live... Ringo played out here but I decided it's better not to see any Beatle as opposed to just Ringo. 'Yes, I've seen a Beatle live!' - 'Awesome! Which one?' - 'Um, doesn't matter which one. It's the principle that counts...'
I had the privilege of seeing them live at their peak - it was, in your words, f**king awesome.
At the time we only saw them live,couldn't actually hear them.

Macca did a free outdoor gig out here in 2003. I didn't go cos it was a low point in my interest - your tastes change - and if you wanted to see anything you had to camp literally two days in advance, and I wasn't that into him. I'm hoping the new tour will galvanise him into adding some Europe dates.
The problem with gigs these days is they're so f**king expensive. When my exes the Spice Girls got back together, everyone (actually, no one) asked why I didn't come. Well 'm not exaggerating but the whole experience would've totalled around a grand. Travelling, accommodation, just surviving - plus I ain't going to London for one concert: I'd turn it into a mini-holiday. AND I'd have to double the costs cos I'd pay for my wife too as she'd only be doing it to keep me company. A thousand Euros? Too much. And too much of one thing is bad enough. Anyway, after all my support, they'd should be coming to my hilarious stand-up sets. They'd be nowhere without me.

Kevin Ayers is one of those people I keep meaning to catch up on. I remember Caribbean Moon(shine?) although I realise that's not represntative.
