Have pledged for a download, but 32 and a half grand for a house concert ? Not including accommodation and travel ? Really ?

He must've been only half-joking when he said words to the effect of "When I'm over 65, I become a living legend and I can double my fee" |

The whole list of offers seem a little odd, and most unlike RT's usual style. |

Download apart, it looks horribly expensive for what's on offer.
I'm saddened to read it really.

I'm with Pete and Jim - it is odd, it doesn't seem his usual style, and I am a bit saddened to read it. With this and previously the £45 to see RT solo at Cadogan Hall, whatever next ?

Is there not just an unsigned CD option?

Shocking and obscene prices (which will, of course, probably sell out). Very disappointing  |

Well, I think out of all of us, RT and his management included, you're clearly best-placed to decide that, aren't you? |

Presumably once the CD comes out you'll simply be able to buy one at the usual places without pledging in advance? |

Maybe I wouldn't mind quite so much if it was new material, but it sounds very much like something he could knock out in his sleep.

I really enjoyed his performance at Cropredy a few years ago and I've no doubt his more recent live performances are still enjoyable, but imo, musically, he's been treading water for many years now.

I like RT, but he isn't one of my very favourite artists. If he were, I'd find this really off -putting. (I din't even like the pre order prices for the Roy Harper vinyl). This is drawing you into buying a whole load of other stuff as well, which you may not want.
