Porto, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Up late. Wander solo for some coffee before the slightly manic car drive to Porto. I’m having an off day… blah blah. Beautiful venue here. Soundcheck is good. Quick wander down to the river with Mars and Amanda. Get totally lost on the way back before some ...
Leaving…, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Bit of local exploring this morning. Winding steep streets and a particularly fancy hotel grounds. There’s a kitten who wants to follow us home; i consider cat smuggling. A little design work before we head to the venue and meet our new equipment and new crew. The ...
Lisbon, Portugal, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Watery eggs and great coffee for breakfast. Spent the day wandering the city center looking for gifts, clothes, roosters etc… not that fruitful but the sights were amazing. This has to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Windy lanes, cobblestone streets, castles, cafés, ...
Monumental, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. We’re in Lisbon! This has been a long day. Up at 10ish in Elizabeth, NJ after getting to sleep at 5.30am… Spent the day noodling around doing work, internet, re-packing and phone calls, was going for a walk but the wind was too crazy. We lift off ...
Bearsville, NY, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. These are warm up shows. But they are feeling good; playing Talk Talk Talk in it’s entirety is a great, deep feeling and the crowd seems to be with us the whole way. Despite some technical stuff for everyone and string break in So Run Down ...
Fairfield, CT, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. I didn’t take enough pictures. Must get back on that. Dumb Waiters was always a favourite of mine and tonight it feels monsterous as the opener of our first Talk Talk Talk show; exactly how it should. There was an edge there that stayed with us ...
Live Room, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Ok, we’re ready. See you tomorrow. Spent the evening wandering the parking lot with Amanda, eating Italian with Paul and Yogi, and watching miners being rescued in Chile.
I love playing these songs. Its great doing TTT and its all so much more natural to me now. Plus i know how to handle these characters a little better. Danbury Holiday Inn. Again. TV, internet and Insomnia.
3 hours sleep and apparently the flight from SF to NY turned rather Ocasek. Shame, as i’d rather go Orr. Anyway, here we are on the east coast again… work on some new things, rehearse some TTT, take in the Wal-Mart and the Chili’s. I’m on the road again; hours on the internet in hotel ...
The Psychedelic Furs 2010, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Awoke in the bus at a hotel in Houston where the rain is coming down in sheets. I believe Texas really does rain better than any other state. Grab the keycard from the bus table and find my way into the hotel and up ...
