Extreme/Nuno fans...?

Looks like Extreme are doing a Pornograffiti tour this year - Glasgow (5th July), Birmingham (7th July) and London (8th July) in the UK.

They also seem to have a date booked with Aerosmith and Alter Bridge, which seems to be punching above their weight a bit in terms of presence. Good on 'em.

Seriously tempted by the meet & greet...much as I usually hate that sort of thing, I'm actually considering taking my N4 along for Nuno to sign it...

Yeah, normal tickets are on sale on Friday. Enhanced packages only for pre-sale

Am I out of touch with pricing here, the Academy in Manchester, one person £73! ...nothing cheaper?
I went to see Thunder there a couple of years ago for 15 quid (I think?).

Love Extreme, but I could get a used foot pedal for that

See above - those are the enhanced packages only. I'd imagine that normal tickets will be about £30.

Tempting, just saw the facebook feed for the Birmingham Institute gig, no details on regular ticket prices though.

....£32.25 for the brum gig from Ticket Master...plus fees etc I'm sure.

I can't find details? I'd be well up for that - love the mighty 'Smith and Alter Bridge are decent too - the only thing I can find which includes those on the bill is Download and afaik Extreme haven't been announced for that...

digitalscream

Yeah, sorry - forgot to mention that you'll need a plane ticket to Italy for that gig

dafuzz

Haha I don't even like to cross the river for a gig

But the £75 one gets you a t shirt. The t shirt aint £40....

This thread is relevant to my interests. Think I might be driving to Manchester by myself as I am unlikely to find another human in North Wales who wants to hear Decadence Dance one more time.

I will be going to this. I don't know or care how but I will be going!

I was investigating Extreme the other day as YT recommended me a live video of them playing Get The Funk Out which impressed me.

Never really liked the album probably due to the production, but always been a fan of Nuno's playing. 

Anyone wanting to recommend me some more live vids?

spacecadet

I always thought the production on pornografitti was about as good as it gets. Rarely do you get that much energy from a studio album. You usually have to wait for the live stuff.

Here's an interesting version of GTFO:

Not Extreme, but it's Nuno. 

spacecadet

Nuno is a ninja!

Saw them do this at the Marquee club back in 1992? Must find my ticket stub - think it was £8.50 to get in.

I'll most likely be going to the Manchester date wit the other half. Missed out on seeing them on the Saudades tour because I was a poor student at the time and Opeth were playing the week before.
