Brilliant sentence! I wouldn't mind it either only I'd hope the string wouldn't be very long...!

I have, several times - and I've seen blood spilt! The distinction I draw is that the NHL guys have a choice whether to go into the arena or not and they are paid a handsome amount by way of danger money!bridger15 wrote:Entering the ring on this topic of brutality in a concert venue,
I suppose you haven't attended many NHL Hockey games in hockey arenas. Sometimes the benches empty, there are 30 brawling men on the ice and there can be blood shed.
I guess I am more concered about the harmful effect such a display of aggressive behaviour has on innocent children. These highly paid, pampered and idolized hockey bulls have a responiblity to behave as role models for thousands of young people who watch the games in person and on Television. Their pugilistic episodes are harmful to the emotional development of the young, especially egregious in this current climate of adolescent trigger-happy rage with deadly consequences.bkmccalla wrote:i'm not the only one who failed to appreciate the analogy between innocent bulls being slaughtered for entertainment and hockey players beating up EACH OTHER for no apparent reason.
Hi tsipouras. I was just coming over to this thread to post your video ("The Gypsy's Wife") that I found on YouTube. It is just wonderful!! Thank you!tsipouras wrote:hello to everyone! in my opinion the Granada concert was awesome. I agree that the venue was not appropriate,and that it was not exactly in Granada, but the crowd was really enthusiastic and singing all the way through. I don't know about the chatting since where I was sitting everyone was paying attention to Leonard. Favorite moment was when everyone stood up and went at the front after the 1st encore. The atmosphere was really amazing. Everybody Knows, Suzanne, Take this Waltz and First we Take Manhattan were all highlights.
I 've been to Athens last year, and although Leonard was differently connected to the city, I thing the audience in Granada was better.
and a little video i managed to take:

Really hope Leonard releases an album after this tour, and continues! He is truly unique, and this tour shows he's got a lot to give.

Have you been taking lessons from IrishAl ? This is an amazingly good video! The clarity is so very crisp and what a steady hand. Thank you!
tsipouras,fantastic..we were there too..great video,we watched it over and over all afternoon,any more? kind regards tim and adele
Brilliant video, thank you so much.....and apart from the great visuals,what jumps out is just how good the sound is! Such a contrast to where I started the concert at row 13 and even at the back beside the sound desk (which was better but nothing like that). I rushed up for the encores and do recollect the sound being very good up there but wasn't sure with most of my focus on drinking in those life long visuals whether I had simply dreamed that the sound was very good up there. Turns out it was. Thaks again...
thank you! i m glad you all enjoyed the video!! the sound was really good in the front, that's true. unfortunately i don't have any more videos from the concertHi tsipouras. I was just coming over to this thread to post your video ("The Gypsy's Wife") that I found on YouTube. It is just wonderful!! Thank you!
I wish I had been there. Lucky you!!
(p.s. Please - do you have any more ... video ...??? )
