Glenn I sure as hell hope you can still
swim with a broken foot. Is this show still on???

David · #6 Sep-02-2003, 7:38 PM

No worries Mark, GLENN will be there

He might have to be seated, but he'll be there - along with Jeff Kollman and they'll be performing an all acoustic set.

kat · #7 Sep-03-2003, 5:01 AM

I made my reservation! Going to be a great time!

Kat

David · #8 Sep-03-2003, 10:39 AM

Ok folks...there's some good news and bad news

The bad news first...Jeff Kollman is no longer able to make the cruise...the good news is that GEORGE NASTOS will now be accompanying GLENN on the high seas

You'll remember George from the 2001 USA mini-tour and of course a key contributor to the album, FEEL and even the odd apppearance with VCR.

It's guaranteed to be a groovin' and funky experience

How did THE VOICE break his foot?
Mark

Shirean · #11 Sep-03-2003, 6:27 PM

mark - that sounds like the first question you should ask, when you meet him onboard the cruise

kat · #12 Sep-12-2003, 4:34 PM

Is it time to go yet? LOL! I am getting so spoiled! Looking forward to the show!

Kat

Shirean · #13 Sep-12-2003, 5:25 PM

I hear 'ya loud and clear Kat - it'll be good to finally meet you. David will be a land lubber that weekend, so will be trying to have a blast without him

kat · #14 Sep-15-2003, 5:46 AM

Great that you will be on board, looking forward to finally meeting you too!

Too bad David won't be there.

I am so looking forward to the chance to get away for a few days and seeing Glenn! Can't ask for much more.

kat · #16 Sep-18-2003, 1:26 AM

hehehehe you trying to get someone to freak?

LOL! I am really looking forward to an acoustic show with Glenn. I've never seen one of his before. Can't wait to hear that voice!

Kat

David · #17 Sep-19-2003, 2:26 PM

We were at Cocoa Beach today and what do we see on our way, but Port Canaveral - so we stopped by to check it out - not much to look at without the boats

but at least I know where to drop Shirean off in a couple of weeks

Grace · #18 Sep-20-2003, 8:13 AM

Hey Chris,
No need to worry about "the direction" of Glenn's music on the cruise.

There is no way that GH could sound like Jack (Love Boat) Jones, Michael (Mr. Plastic) Bolton or Wayne (Las Vegas) Newton. Even if GH sang with a brown paper bag over his face, he would STILL be uniquely "Glenn Hughes".

Just listen to the two acoustic songs from the "Rockline" interview ("Getting Tighter" and "You Keep On Moving") plus "Coast to Coast" from the 4-track EP, "Talk About It." That's what Glenn will sound like.......and I'll bet you a big bag of money, that he WILL NOT be wearing a (lounge lizard) tuxedo!!!!!!

Besides - I saw/heard George Nastos with GH at the Birch Hill show in Jersey. He doesn't have an "elevator music" bone in his body, either.

I'm ready to go! Got my GHPG t-shirt and my copy of SITKOR, just need it to be Saturday already!!

Kat

Shirean · #23 Oct-02-2003, 6:06 PM

Look forward to meeting you Kat - I'll be sure and look out for the t-shirt

kat · #24 Oct-03-2003, 5:48 AM

I look forward to meeting you too! It's going to be a lot of fun! The weather's going to be nice, the music and the company is going to be great, what more can a person ask for?!

Kat

Shirl · #25 Oct-03-2003, 11:43 AM

Have a wonderful time this weekend, Kat and Shirean.

It's raining here, so if I sit in a tin bath in my back garden listening to SITKOR, I can always pretend I'm with you both!

We look forward to photos of the event, of course!

David · #26 Oct-04-2003, 1:02 PM

Here's a bit of a sneak peek

Shirean just called me to say that everyone's onboard and settling in - although the dramamin is close to hand

GLENN accompanied by George Nastos in an all acoustic set, are actually performing tomorrow night at 11:00PM EST in the ship's Lido Lounge.

GLENN said he hopes to fit in 18 songs

including Coast To Coast, You Keep On Moving, Stormbringer, A Whiter Shade Of Pale....some Beatles covers and a few others!

A full report will follow on Monday afternoon, hopefully with some pix

Quality! Can't wait for the review to see what Big Daddy pulls out the hat!

Paul · #29 Oct-06-2003, 8:46 AM

Kat mentioned in the "Live Reviews" forum it was videoed - hopefully it'll be good enough to make a release out of it. Look forward to seeing more pictures that anyone took
