I am so glad to see that you aren't going to see Rod Stewart! From the title, I was wondering...

Have a blast- report back please.

Different strokes for different folks. The movie was all about the music--our family loved both. I agree if you did not like the music, then the movie would suck

Well, I absolutely loved the movie, but the movie really is about music. I sobbed during the scene where the song "Lies" was played, and when they sang it last night, I cried again. The whole show was amazing. Glen and Marketa are wonderful together, and she adds a lot at times, but it really is about Glen, in my opinion. He is charming beyond all belief (that's for you, Punzy), cute, funny, smart, everything that makes a musician really "pop" onstage. As a performer, Glen (along with The Frames) is absolutely electric. He has moments of more energy than anyone else I've ever seen perform live. I've seen him and the band twice now, and both times I left the show blown away. He interacted a lot with the crowd last night--not the corny, canned concert stuff you might assume--but talked a lot, explained the songs, and at times just plain babbled. It was interesting and made him feel totally human and accessible. There was everyone from adolescents to white-haired senior citizens there! John R and anyone else who's going to Telluride, you're in for a real treat.

What type of venue? How many in the audience?

A theater-style place that was built exclusively to be a live music venue. It has a retro, old theater feel but is actually new. Eek, good question about the number. Maybe STLDon knows the capacity, I don't.

that's ok. Just curious if it was several thousand or several hundred. We've seen Leo Kottke twice in a place similar to what you've described and it only seats a few hundred max. Really nice and intimate. Good acoustics too.

I JUST watched the movie for the first time. It was amazing. How romantic of a movie and they didn't even kiss. . . . tomorrow I'll be watching it for the second time!:clap:

Where Peapod? The only thing I can come up with is the Pagent and I don't think it's that new.

Glad you had a good time!

:wave:Hey, kts!
Believe it or not, The Pageant is a new building, not a remodel! The website even talks about it, hang on...
