Carole King Concert

It's one of my all time favourites too ga, reminds me of a special time in my life.

Is there a confirmed date, do you know?

Yes, just Google it/her!

Have just done so.

Sadly I'll be out of the country on that date.

Wish I lived nearer...

I love her music too, wish I could be there, but impossible.
I bought the piano music for Tapestry, but it's much more difficult than I expected, lots of octave+ chords, complex rhythms and key changes which are beyond my ability level . It would be so much better to hear it live.

We have tickets to see her on July 3rd with Don Henley - so excited ??We bought them via Amazon ...

I'm with you on the claustrophobia thingy ga but I'm hoping the excitement will carry me through ......

I would love to go to the concert but I couldn't do the crowds either in Hyde Park or the transport. I did see the musical Beautiful thought and it was such a good show. Do,you think they will put the concert on TV?

Just found you can buy tickets for the less crowded terrace area .....£278.. Sold out . What a shame!!!

Hi Atqui - I'm working on overcoming my fears this year - so, watch this space

We have tickets for the Summer Garden and I am hoping the weather will be good

I haven't seen the musical Beautiful - maybe we should tie it all in with a weekend away ...?

This is my favourite (and most other people's too I should think)

You can get all the Tapestry songs on youtube, but to see her live another experience altogether.

I bought my tickets today! Whoopee!

At Christmas the Wonderful Man gave me a voucher for a trip to London and a show, so I shall allow him to book the hotel and to reimburse me the money spent on tickets. Fortunately for his wallet I went with the 'priority' tickets rather than the undoubtedly swish, but very expensive garden tickets jogging. I shall give you a wave over the barrier.

How fab ga - is the Wonderful Man going with you ...? What a lovely present to give you for Christmas ❤️
I kind of think we bought the garden tickets by mistake - they give you so little time to decide - all I could see was the clock going down.....

We had already lost two tickets through being indecisive so we just went for it.... that's both pensions spent this month ??

????

I'll also be in the cheap seats - well £74 and standing!

For those worried about being in a huge crowd ... I'm very claustrophobic but survived The Stones in Hyde Park a couple of years ago with no problems. It's not one huge mass - there are barriers and 'aisles' so if you suddenly need to get out you can

Really looking forward to this 'happening' - can already feel the earth move under my feet!

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a grandsnet meet-up ...? ?

...and thank you for those comforting words re: crowds Riverwalk ??

Oops ,,, gransnet

I've just booked a 'cheap' (£74!) ticket, so excited to go, my favourite ever LP given to me in 1973 by someone very special, never thought I'd have the chance to see Carole perform it live. I'd be interested to meet other Gransnetters there; I've joined recently and would also be interested in meeting anyone in my area, South Birmingham, but there doesn't seem to be an active group, anyone else in this area?

We are going to, celebrating a special birthday so went for the expensive tickets, so looking forward to it.

The Wonderful Man will indeed be my escort for the event jogging - and he's very pleased that his gift will be put to such good use. I don't have much in the way of music, but I have had this album on record, on tape and now, inadvertently, on two CD's, so he understands and is very pleased by my excitement to be hearing it sung live.

Hope you all have a wonderful time.Hope you conquer your crowd fear Jogging. It's probably not as bad as it looks from afar. I survived Elton John at Eden.

The crowds I mean not Elton John of course

Atqui I've just done my first flight in over 5 years so I guess I'm on the right track......

Elton John ...

Really looking forward to this now - just a week to go. I'm so looking forward to a few days away - fingers crossed for good weather ☀️??
