I'm amazed to hear this but I'd certainly go if I got the chance.
It will almost certainly be a money-spinner for them, wether any of them needs it is another matter, and I suspect that they'll do somewhat better than their fee as described on an old contract that I have on my wall dating back to 1966, between the Robert Stigwood organisation (for Cream) and the Kirklevington Country Club on Teesside.


BAND NOT TO ARRIVE LATER THAN 7pm

2X45 MINUTES SPOTS BETWEEN 8pm AND 11pm

BAND NOT TO PLAY A VENUE WITHIN A RADIUS OF 5 MILES FROM 4 WEEKS PRIOR TO BOOKING AND 3 WEEKS AFTER.

FEE £75 TO BE PAID IN CASH TO THE BAND


Assuming that they were on equal money that's £25 quid EACH!!!!

That wouldn't sting Erics' guitars for one night at the Albert Hall today!

This is terrific. I don't care why they're doing it, if they're still as good as they were, I'll be tickled. Can't afford to go see them live, of course, but will certainly hear any CD they make.

Also must remember to get a new stash for the occasion.

;-D

So, which one of them is short of cash?

Actually, I hope they can make the grade, I loved 'em the first time around.

Peace, Mooh.

There's no way I could afford tickets, even without adding the cost of transatlantic travel.

But I think I could shell out for a CD and maybe even rent or buy a DVD. Think they'll be marketing anything like that?

Reform? You mean they're gonna give up drugs?

Yeah..Wow!

Always a danger though, when super groups reform after many years break, that they won't be up to their former standard. Mind you with these three..... Look forward to it with interest.
