I can't help but think that a band who almost never (to my knowledge) wore parkas, attract so many wearers of the things out of some somewhat misplaced badge of modism. Jules |

Just looked at the order on the pc, which, miracle of miracles, translates everything into easy to understand English! and it will be expected about 1st to 2nd of april and all for the bargain price of 28.22 euro. I bet they've sold out at that price |

They slapped postage and 'tax' (of what kind, I dunno) on top of that for my order. Total = EUR 32.26. Jules |

And Jimmy wears a parka, right? So why don't some of the fans go dressed as Tommy, or Uncle Ernie?  Jules |

I think that's probably right, Jules.
Re the Who: loads of parkas at the O2, but I didn't spot ANY zoot suits.
And Zak Starkey's a pretty good drummer - he didn't try to play like Keith Moon; if anyone, his style reminded me of John Bonham.

Imho he's a whole load better than that. Let's not forget he's been the drummer in the Who for very nearly 2 decades now... I'm not even going to try and get that back on topic! |

Zak is indeed very good. Keith actually gave him a couple of lessons when he was a kid, and I can hear elements of the original Who Patent British Exploding Drummer in the way he plays, but, as you say, more than a hint of Bonzo in there too. Jules |

Seriously though, is it just down to the exchange rate on the day you pre-order? Jules Yes, and as they don't actually debit your card until despatch, you may find that the amount changes again by that point. The Euro has gained against the pound in the last few days so it may end up being very slightly more expensive. |
