The Legends spot

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - she's in the top 3 or 4 eligible contenders for the slot, so a good booking it is.

There are still a few hurdles for her to clear before it'll be a classic set, though - not least whipping her setlist into shape.

ha a lot of confidence.  I've already ordered my chuck berry tshirt and special edition blow up guitar.  It has to happen!!!

[CaledonianGonzo]

After his last big hit I thought the usual costume for Chuck Berry fans was to dress up as bells.

[CaledonianGonzo]

All the cool kids dress up as the ghost of Johnnie Johnson and haunt the stage.

Not that Chuck's on there anyway, after having decided at the last minute to ask for an extra 30 grand in used notes before he'll consider playing.

Gonna dress up as a CCTV camera and peer over long drop doors if chuck plays

fancy dress goals.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though he'd be doing the longdrop peering anyway, regardless of costume or Chuck Berry showing up.

D-Ro needs to ditch I Will Survive as a closer (and the reprise as her encore!) come June. Setlists need severe attention.

That and 'Why Do Fools Fall In Love'.  Replace 'em with Surrender and I'm Still Waiting.

And the Love Hangover / Ain't No Mountain High Enough medley needs some separation surgery.

[The Nal]

She needs to break out the big version of Ain't No Mountain

 

Also severely lacking in some 2 min 50 second Supremes belters. 

Where Did Our Love Go, Reflections You Keep Me Hangin On, Back In My Arms Again etc not guaranteed.

It's just not a good version - no idea about the live arrangement, but the studio version sounds like it was done on a Bontempi keyboard.

I Will Survive is aces in the context of G Gaynor - but in a D-Rozzle show it's taking up the space of better candidates.

hahaha so the fancy dress would making the longdrop peering socially acceptable!!

She'd get me to the Pyramid. I absolutely loved Dolly but couldn't be arsed with Lionel. Wouldn't have bothered with ELO this year either. DR has some absolute belters but whether she's a success will probably lie with what she chooses.

soz for the slow reply. Am just catching up on some stuff.

From info, that I'm pretty sure is spot on but doesn't quite have certainty.

This excites me a lot! Thank you!!

Only in reference to Chuck Berry fancy dress and his spurious history. But more that if I was in fancy dress it'd be anonymous rather than acceptable. Less likely to be caught you see. 

Ah just dress up as Donald trump then its quite clearly everyone else's fault for being in the way of your eyes.

Given her previous work and general associations with Lionel, and how his set went down, I would imagine (hope?) she'd go on the side of wall to wall bangers rather than tossing about with covers.

What chance a rendition of Chain Reaction with guest appearance from #rightbazza?

Time to start looking for the perfect sparkly frock for Sunday. Oh yes this makes me all kinds of happy!

I'm liking it, but - to use a technical ladies haute couture high fashun phrase - I'm goin' more floaty spinny wafty for when I dos the pirouettes. Innit.

Mwah, etc.

No knicks and a simple wee hoist up from the tutu hem and it's chocs away no bother. 

 

Edit: I think the Brothers makes 'em 'golden' but I can't crane my neck down quick enough to see before they land. Plus I'm thinking of @Quark thinking of my Friday Opener as he watches the Friday Opener.

 

 

Jesus, I need fucking help. The Radiohead Bear's got me all a-tizz tonight.

Yes to the frock but I draw the line at "blacking up".

I'd be surprised if her versions of upside down and i'm coming out are anywhere near as good as the chic live versions, unless she can get Nile and band involved...
