Concert on Saturday

[pretzel]

Isn't Pony Cockney rhyming slang for something?

I see also tha the album title for Shaka Ponk's latest album includes the words 'jerkin' socks' - surely that has an affinity with some CAer's?

 

[Brad Zarse]

As for this years bands. Could be worse. Could be The Levellers or UB40.

OI!!  The Levellers were Epic at Le-Mans!! 

At one point, the power to all the amps went out.  So they cut out all the lights, plugged the amps into the lighting power, and played without any lights..... was brilliant!!

[lofty]

glad i got a new wah wah bar and strap for my air guitar.

[Mike]

another reason to go to the bar............................................... oh wait a minute, why do I need a reason to go to the bar :-) 

[Stu]

Just had a quick listen to Shaka Ponk on Youtube and I tell you what, its a pity I have an out of date yogurt to eat on the Saturday night otherwise I would be there.

What ever next, a three wheeled car !!

IIRC there's a massive monsters of rock concert going on in Nantes on the same night - surely the ACO could shell out a bit of our hard earned cash and helicopter in a few monsters to headline for a few hours!

The Levellers and the stranglers have been the best imho. The concert provides a distraction from the racing and generally make our way to see them.

This year may be different.

Its the 80th year ? and the ACO put on Euro poop what are they thinking ? Why not have someone for such an occasion like Mr R Waters; or even JK was quality back in 2002 (We were Three rows from the front) . It was great right up until the french fella that had soiled himself ( 2's not 1's ) tried crowd surfing none of us were going to catch him and we all parted like the red sea when he jumped    got to be the funniest moment at Le Mans for me.

[Martini...LB]

I feel very fortunate to only be going to the Classic, though the band or what ever it is would give me another reason to stay at my tent...

I was actually missing the French experience so while my wife was in Wales(?) I went for three days to France, just went for a drive around the Brittany countryside... Wicked... especially when you come from a 27sq mile island...

Yes, totally off topic...

But why put on a concert. It cost's the ACO money to get the band's in. Why bother, rent the space to dodgy kart tracks, shotgun stalls and dodgy lady stalls. Everyones happy

The only redeeming feature there is the Gibson Thunderbird.

Exactly

Really?

What I hate most about the Levellers (apart from the crap music, dogs on string, lack of basic hygiene etc) is they are constantly banging on about how they hate the corporate world, people in cars and consumerist culture, yet they are quite happy to play at an event that has cars a plenty, corporations a plenty and lots of little consumers throwing litter everywhere. That makes them a bunch of hypocritical whores in my book.

Hopefully someone is trying to build a bypass down south somewhere and they are all currently chained to trees eating mung beans for the next decade.

w**k*rs.

Your words are absolute poetry, and I couldn't agree more
