Next up:

Back to rehearsals next week and then....a warm up gig in a club in Paris - seemingly next Thursday (25th)

Note - a club (ie, a few hundred capacity). Not a theatre like the Olympia, Grand Rex etc.

Probably mostly family and friends but apparently some tickets will go on sale on the day - and should be pretty cheap as is the norm with these warm up gigs

I don't know what club the gig is scheduled to take place in - its very hush hush -but I would imagine that, as has happened in the past, they'll have a few 'alternatives' booked and then announce which venue it is the morning of the gig or the day before.

I would expect its a stripped down band as theres been no reports of the horn section or backing singers being at the rehearsals so far and, indeed, Bobby Keys is touring with his own band in the US at present.

So are the London and Newark shows going to be stripped down. Without horns or backup singers. I know Bobby said he would be there. But no Blondie?

I dont know about fully stripped down as much as that but I did hear a while back there may be some changes and that Blondie (amongst others) may not 'make the cut'. Time will tell, I suppose.

Maybe its just for these particular shows as they're likely to be quite different to regular tour shows, with special guests etc

Cool.Thanks G. I'll look forward to the PPV.

I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye
So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why

Maybe its a second warm up gig - perhaps a corporate gig?

Certainly seems to be something cooking for next Thursday. Not at that venue, though.

Hard to imagine not having at least Bernard there...Not sure why Mick would want to break from the setup he launched for his 1988 tours, maybe he's trying to save a buck ! More likely than him wanting to go back to basics for sure.

Fact is no backup musicians other their musiscal director Chuck have been spotted at the rehearsals so far, maybe they'll be around for the second series starting this week apparently.

That would make sense...no need to have back up singers/players unless the band was ready to be backed up...

Thats the norm. No doubt they're capable of putting together a set of about 12-14 songs that doesnt include a Revue-style set up.
