Re(6): Pigalle Club, London - 3rd Feb. IP: 82.71.32.253 Posted on February 11, 2009 at 04:53:14 by Timmy
Actually Luigi, I made no defamatory comments whatsoever. I have been able to look again at the text of my initial post because I had the foresight to copy it. I see I was very careful to state that the thoughts were (necessarily) my own opinion and made several observations regarding the music to do both with Mick's playing and voice. I twice mentioned my "sadness" at what I witnessed. The only possible "personal" FACT, as you choose to call it, was my comment that "I THOUGHT Mick was in poor form in himself". That is an opinion, not a "fact" and is, at least in my view, possibly constructive - certainly not destructive. It remains my view that the standard of the performance that Mick delivered on 3rd February was not only below that which could be reasonably expected having had several previous opportunities to see him play but also, IN MY OPINION, below that which Mick may want to set for himself and the band. It so happens that I can afford the cost of the ticket (£20) - others may not be so fortunate. However, I am unlikely to WANT to afford it again in the future as a result of this, my latest experience. That is sad. It is also why I troubled to write my original post so that others could judge that perhaps not every show is as good as your take on the matter suggests. I hope very much that things get better for the forthcoming gigs. Replies:
