Look forward to seeing you again in Germany (last time was Heidelberg '05, when you politely shrugged at me as I bellowed to Robert "Will you be draining the pool tonight?"<BR/><BR/>And September 30, in Frankfurt, will be my birthday! Don't suppose Robert might invite me on stage to play my version of "To Reach Me"...? Really, I could send a video clip to prove my merit. Or a PDF of my freshly-christened MA portfolio in Primary English Education, in which I quote liberally from "The Evangelist"...?<BR/><BR/>Worth a try. As I said, looking forward to seeing you all.James Todd Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408678761393349294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212262084101044641.post-38483174985115383942008-09-14T08:50:00.000-07:002008-09-14T08:50:00.000-07:00Thank you so much for coming to San Francisco and ...Thank you so much for coming to San Francisco and playing a show. I am so thankful to have attended this great show. It was a magical experience to see the band after the tragic loss of Grant. It felt like a sacred healing to be hearing all those great songs again. The music will live on and is bigger then us.<BR/><BR/>We were seated in the back. At some point, I got up to dance and then I never sat back down. They play groovy rhythms that make me want to shake my body.<BR/><BR/>I fell in love with the GoB in 1984 when I was only 13. I bought Metal and Shells in the US. I've followed them ever since and they have been a soundtrack to my life. It is hard to believe its been 25 years! I saw the GoB in 1989 in Cleveland and got to meet the original band. Robert even signed my CD cover, "Hello friend" and "Cory in Cleveland". <BR/><BR/>The next time I saw the band was in 2005 at Slim's in San Francisco. I really enjoyed seeing Adele and Glenn. I think they are both great musicians and I really enjoy what they have added to the band. I hope they will continue to play with Robert. I loved the reformed GoB albums and the 2 live albums. I am so thankful they recorded the live albums and a DVD! I can be at the show anytime. :)<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks so much for coming to SF.<BR/> <BR/>Much love,<BR/>CoryCory Ferberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331747170615804306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212262084101044641.post-7727131501762420612008-09-14T08:20:00.000-07:002008-09-14T08:20:00.000-07:00Robert Forster: San Francisco, Great American Musi...Robert Forster: San Francisco, Great American Music Hall, 10th September 2008<BR/><BR/>Robert Forster: acoustic and electric guitars, vocals<BR/>Adele Pickvance: bass, vocals (from the most recent GB line-up)<BR/>Glenn Thompson: guitar, vocals, drums (from the most recent GB line-up)<BR/>Matthew Harrison: drums, vocals<BR/><BR/><BR/>Set One:<BR/>Robert on acoustic guitar introduces the show<BR/>1.
