Yeah, Suzie, I think I'll take along the printed e-mail receipt, at the very least. Plus some ID, of course!
Thanks for your thoughts. It was a hard time, but we're coming along. I can't wait until I tell him what's happening... he still thinks we're just going to the show!
Unfortunate timiing for your show, with England's game being on. You'll just have to hope we've already qualified by that game! I'm alright, the biggest match I'll miss on the 17th will be Italy - USA!

Crush Of Love - Yngwie won't be supporting, because a) he doesn't do supporting these days and b) he's just finished a world tour.
I've heard that Johnny A. is supporting Joe.

Satriella - thanks for your words.
No, none of my family plays guitar, outside of my dad. But I'm only 34, I'm still young enough to learn! I've often thought about it, but I'm now in a "doing" phase of my life. I realise there's no time to waste, and if you feel like doing something with your life, then do it, because you never know what's around the corner.
So maybe once the Joe show has been and gone, it's something I'll work on starting. :D

Satriella - I'm (we're) going to see Joe on the 17th. Looking forward to it a lot, for one reason or another I haven't been to see a show for over year now.
As for playing... well, if I do decide to learn, I don't really have to look much further than my dad! After 45 years of playing, I'm sure he'll be able to give me lots of valuable pointers! :D

Suzie2000 - yeah, I'm feeling a little twitchy about the UK platinum thing now, too. I hope they get in touch soon, so that we know the times and everything. I mean, there's still 11 (well, 10) days to go, but I'd like to know sooner rather than later!

Hurray! Tomorrow's the day, at Newcastle City Hall!
Anyone know what kind of ID we need for the backstage stuff? I've managed to keep this a secret from my dad up until this point, so I'd hate it to be wrecked because we get there and he hasn't got the right ID!

I'm leaving for Newcastle soon! :D
Does anyone know what kind of ID will be acceptable for the pre-show Platinum event? I still haven't told my dad about it, and want to keep it a surprise right up until the last minute, but I don't know what kind of ID he'll have with him, if any.

Phew.
Just had my first cup of coffee of the day. We had the Newcastle show last night. Really excellent show, albeit miles too hot where we were sitting! Highlights for me: Opening with Flying, Redshift Riders kicking arse and sounding like classic Satch, Super Colossal being, well, COLOSSAL, Surfing being amazing, and Crowd Chant being the most fun I've had at a show in aaaages.
Of course, I bought the premium package for me and my dad, as a Father's Day gift to my dad. We had to meet at the venue at 5pm, and he only found out what was going on when I gave him his Father's Day card, complete with waiver for him to sign, in the car park at 4:45pm! It was great, he was totally lost for words, and almost cried, which is so unlike him.
Anyway, we had a great time. Watching Johnny A's soundcheck was cool, as was getting to talk to him on the stage for a little while. He's a really good opener for Joe. The tour was good, and we talked a lot with John Iverson, who, I have to say, did a really good job and helped make our experience go really, really well.
After the show, the meet-and-greet with Joe was great. Of course, it had to be fairly brief, because it's late and Joe has other people to meet, but it was a fantastic experience, and my dad was totally thrilled to bits by the whole thing, which made it all the better for me.
Sadly, I didn't catch any names, but if you're reading, hi to the young couple from Scotland (to the girl, sorry you didn't find your hat!), and the very nervous lady from Denmark. I hope your experience went as you wanted it to!
So, a great night from start to finish. Many thanks to Joe, for taking the time out to do these things, and to John for putting it all together.
And now for my second cup of coffee.....

Jack Skellerton - Joe played seven songs from Super Colossal, and four songs from Surfing With The Alien. So I'd recommend you start with those two first.
