good question - who plays bass there?
The bass player is Richard Christie.

The other guitarist is Bill Bailey, the multi-talented comedian. He is brilliant and an incredible musician. He is also the interviewer in the first video.

Now delayed until 26 April.
Which year?

I bought it, wish I had not. It seems to consist of old interviews regurgitated and 're-evaluations' of LPs. To call it the "The Ultimate Music Guide" is a bit rich. It was clearly written before the I/O tour as it makes no mention of any part of the tour. Plenty of mistakes as well, the best one being the howler on page 41, a quote credited to 'Joey' Marotta! Save your money, wish I had, put the money I paid for this towards .The Rhythm Has My Soul: The Stories Behind The Songs,But that's just my opinion.

sounds like a good deal. I would be interested in the book, but I have zero interest in vinyl, so not for me this time...
Problem is being born in 1960, I'm addicted to vinyl, it's always had it's claws in me, I blame my dad! My LPs are my memories, I could probably tell you where I bought every LP I have, funny thing is my wife sort of glazes over when I try to tell her.........

I ordered the boxset from my local record shop last week. £110 which I thought pretty good. £123 on Amazon, £136 Real World (plus postage)

Could also mean he’ll be back in the studio with Peter.
Peter wants to release more music in 2024 and I am sure he found it rather exhausting to be on tour simultaneously.
Also, if there were plans for more shows in 2024, they probably would have announced that before Christmas?At the moment I think more shows in 2024 are unlikely but of course I wouldn’t complain when proven wrong
Well as long as there is more music coming, I'm happy! I think if there will be touring in 2024 we'll hear about it soon? Maybe later on in the year? Who knows! Now I'm pretty much fully retired I have more flexibility, I'd love to go to South America (s) to see PG play.

This made me smile. Bald old fella battles it out with K-Pop stars and Michael Buble!

I've listened to the bright side through, then the dark side, and on these first casual couple of listens I couldn't point to a single difference I noticed. Maybe the dark side Four horses version is a little more orchestral and less techno-y than the bright side mix?? I could be way off with that though.
I've been playing both for a while and am starting to hear the differences a lot clearer. The one that stands out is the much bigger splash at the end of Road to Joy on the dark side!

Yes, another great track. Good to hear there will be another record as well, but who knows when! "Hope to see you around soon" are part of the last line in the Full Moon Update, we shall see!

Ayana Witter-Johnson said yesterday on Radio 3 that she is out on her own tour next March/April. Not that means much, if PG is touring again it does not mean it will be the same band. Having said that this is one of the most acomplished line ups he has ever had, and if he does more gigs I feel he might like to have the same band.

Maybe not useful data...but fun to put together and to have as a record when we start considering what the setlists may look like for (fingers-crossed) future concerts/tours.
Don-e seems to allude to future shows in one of his Instagram/Facebook reels with the comment 'There's gonna be more man, there's gonna be more" I can't make out the word he says before that line, but who knows?

As to whether they're songs nobody knows, I think that depends on the perspective of when people attend the concerts.
For example: for someone who saw the show in April, I could imagine the setlist would be somewhat daunting-since almost half of the setlist are songs that no one has ever heard before! I know for myself at least, I would hate to attend a concert of one of my favorite artists-and almost half of the songs are completely unfamiliar to me!
For someone seeing the concert in later months (like myself, in October) I imagine it'll be a very different experience. By the time I go in three weeks, I will already know and have enjoyed all of the songs except for two! So for me, I'll be going to a concert where I actually know almost all of the songs. And it's all just because of which month I'm going.I'm not sure I agree with you, but each to their own! I saw the second show of this tour in Verona and loved every minute of it despite not knowing any of the new songs, Panopticom, Four Kinds Of Horses, excepted. I quite like not knowing what to expect. He did a similar thing back in September 2002 at Theatre De La Mutualite in Paris, 5 old songs, 9 new. But as i say we all like different things!

Interesting article in the New York Post. Seems the MSG show was actually sold out in the end, this might explain why! Might be worth those of you in USA who don't have tickets yet to keep scouring the ticket sites as prices are coming down the nearer the gig date. You'll need to disable any ad blockers you have to read the article.

Yes despite my childish sniggering I did think how irritated I'd be by fireworks during FS. I went on that tour too and found the closing performance of that heartfelt touching song, with just PG and TL, very moving. It would definitely be marred by bangs, pops, sizzles and flashed during it.
But the sneeze though... "And the monster I was - ACHHHAAA! (sniff) - so afraid of..."
Funny you should say that, but I always have a snigger during Growing Up. First time I heard it I thought he sang "My GOATS like to travel" ................ and it's stuck in my mind ever since.

I expect them to play the same set in North America. I don't think they will change anything...
In my opinion Big Time was the weak link in an otherwise brilliant set. I’m biased though as I really don’t think it’s a strong song. Ditch it and put Secret World in its place, then you have an almost perfect setlist!
