Emmylou Harris Discussion Forum the 3rd

Ian, thanks for that, I was looking forward to your view more than anybody else's as I gathered from your posts prior to the tour that you'd be at both of the gigs I was comparing, & therefore in a better position to comment. I don't know, I seem to have said "what do I know?" in a few...

That's fascinating Mike, it really is, we certainly all see things differently don't we. Firstly, I agree with you about the quality of the performance, I never knocked that, & I agree with you about the sarcastic review in the Guardian, this band are top notch. I don't recall ever seeing Richar...

Hi all, I have to say that the Birmingham show last night left me a little unmoved for quite a while into the set. As Carole pointed out in her post, at the Manchester show both Emmylou & Rodney, in fact the whole band, were obviously in a great mood & having a ball. The interaction with the...

Thanks Ken, that's a very kind offer, but I already have it, thanks again though. Harvey, I'm with you on Elkie Brooks, I think she's vastly underrated & proper trooper, I'll keep my eyes open for that one, thanks.

Sorry Carole, but I'm sure it was "Leaving Louisiana".

That's lovely to hear Carole, & I'm kicking myself for not hanging on afterwards. I thought about it on & off during the day & then decided against it. I genuinely thought that with a long European tour ahead of them, & with it being pretty chilly, the last thing 2 people in their 60...

Looking through the music section of a bookshop in Manchester yesterday before the show, it occurred to me that apart from the cut n' paste, don't worry about the facts excuse for a biography "Angel in Disguise" by Jim Brown, I can't recall any serious biographies about Emmylou. Certainly ...

Well, my theory went out of the window last night too. Not so many of the "grey & proud" brigade in attendance last night, unless they were across the road accompanying their grand kids at the Beyonce show, & to totally shoot myself in the foot, I had a girl of no more than 12 sitt...

Hi Harvey & Carole, No, there's no market research carried out, or anything remotely scientific, my observations are based purely on standing at the bar in the interval with a pint in my hand & doing a bit of good old fashioned people watching! I don't know, maybe I'm imagining it, but I swe...
