Chriska:
How are your Japan plans coming along Moptops??
Going across for the 3 Tokyo shows. I'll do a soundcheck for one show, if those packages are available. You? Are you going? Only 10 hours away and airfares are pretty cheap in November... Yoko "In Conversation" - Sydney Opera House: November 17th. Paul - Tokyo Dome, November November 18th, 19th and 21st Ringo - Las Vegas, November 22nd and 23rd. That is my plan...
And I'm that much of a nerd, I plan to stay at the Hotel Okura where John and Yoko used to stay, and Wings too. Paul had alternative accommodation...
Haha that's great!!!! My plan is to do two Tokyo shows, but it really depends on what my friend who is helping me from over there is able to get for me ticketwise. Have the week off work though and enough for an airfare ready, so it's pretty likely!
Glad to hear that Chriska! There's gonna be a massive Aussie contingent heading over to Japan! Hopefully we meet! I'm sure of it...

Yep we'll have to make sure we do!

Apparently Live Nation have a big announcement next week with this picture as a clue......
-
It's Phoenix. Not Paul.
-
My guess is that the photo was taken in 1909. Phoenix's biggest hit is called "1909."

don't know what the picture has to do with it, but could the announcement be Springsteen dates in 2014? There's all sorts of buzz in the Springsteen world this afternoon about some detailed tour dates and ticket info that Triple M Radio posted online and which was immediately taken down. So that's not directly Live Nation but maybe they are part of it? Am sorry for our friends in Australia that there's nothing to report about Paul. You deserve to have him tour Out There.

Who the f**k are Phoenix??
First the big day out lineup being the "lineup to end all lineups", and now this. Hilarious what is being hyped as big these days haha!! Just reading that story about The Boss. I would go again and try for multiple shows in a heartbeat. That tour was so good earlier this year!!
-
I'd really like to see Paul down here but I hope he'd make some setlist changes to reflect all his new fans since I wasn't even born the last time he was out
I mean, there are some fundamentals I want to hear like I Saw Her Standing There and Jet that have both gone. I am, however, pleased that Junior's Farm is in there. A nice Wings track which was actually the first song I ever performed with a band

The big announcement was Springsteen second tour in a year

The big announcement was Phoenix. Springsteen is a different promoter (Frontier).

So Springsteen doesn't tour for 20 years, then does two tours of Australia within 12 months. What am I not getting about McCartney's yearly refusal to tour here...for even ONE show?

Not a fan of this lady's music, but massive respect for her work ethic and attitude toward her fans... http://everguide.com.au/music/gigs-and-festivals/news/pink-australian-tour-in-september.aspx Something like 18 shows alone in Melbourne; a city of 4 million people. It was just a few years ago she played a similar amount of OZ concerts - so she has broken her own record! Take a bow, Pink. You are a star!

I don't know. Springsteen's manager said that ?Our shows in Australia earlier this year were among the very best and most satisfying of our whole 128 show tour. The crowds were tremendous, the fans as warm, friendly, and welcoming as we could ever hope for, and the quality of the performances, as virtually every reviewer commented, were spectacularly high." The promoter for these shows is Michael Gudinski. don't know why he can get Bruce but not Paul?

Oh, but there's Shakespeare to be read!!!
: I know buddy, I hear ya. And I feel your pain...

Does anyone else get slightly irritated when some fans outside of Australia, actually complain about setlists and Paul only coming to a near by state. Im sorry but if Paul came here just to sing a collection of Wiggles hits i would still not think twice about seeing him. And if Paul was only playing in neighboring states to Queensland, i would still be buying tickets to multiple shows. Ah well guess Japan it is hahaha

I don't read the forums heaps James, but it does irk me a little bit when I see that stuff. Definitely do Japan if you can. Moptops and myself are looking like being there too. Probably a good chunk of Aussies I'd imagine! Good on The Boss!! Paul should definitely take note! I'm there absolutely. Such a fantatic tour earlier this work!
