I might be able to go to Summer Pops in Liverpool on July 21st 2007.Is this an indoor,outdoor venue? Will the big screen that was on the A+M tour be there? |

I imagine the screen will be there. The venue used to be a big tent, but is now a building (as the racecourse has been modernised last year) and will seat about 3000 i beleive.
Theres a thread for this in the offish OMD Forum though so I'll dig it out, with maps and pics etc...... |

Sorry to say, but I'm the wrong person to ask. Ive not been in a boozer for over 3 years, and only been to Aintree (not the racecourse) twice, to make stationery deliveries in my last job. I'm sure we will find somewhere to go though.  |

I believe all will be meeting at Yates in Liverpool during the afternoon (think I'll give that a mis...) and then the Rocking Horse in Aintree later on. |

Seems lots of folks are meeting in the Rocking Horse pub. Hopefully I'll be getting there about 7 ish, so see you then.
Corky I'll do my best to remember to bring the book and badge
Can anyone confirm there will be 2 support acts and OMD wont be on until after 8pm? |

Well here I am, nursing a small hangover, after a fantastic night at SUMMERPOPS. Ive not seen the guys live on stage since 1985, and still got the rush of excitement and enjoyment right from the very first note of A&M, the bassline reverberating through my body just put a massive smile on my face.
The vocals and the music throughout the set was fantastic. My own vocals weren't up to much, but sung my heart out anyway. I also ended up with a bruised hand through all the clapping. An hour and three-quarters passed in the blink of an eye; call me selfish, but I wanted more, more, more. Ive never known time to fly by so fast, or enjoying a concert so much. Roll on the next OMD tour !
The day actually started well before the concert, when I finally got to meet several of the forum members. It was a great pleasure to meet you all and enjoy a quick chat with you. I was like a nervous little puppy, meeting all these "hardcore" OMD fans who have already been to several concerts on this tour (and the fact it was the first time Ive been out for about 2 years), but you were all as friendly as you are on the forums and helped me feel at ease. Thank you all ! |
| Nigel ? Oh yeah, he's up there ! |

What a great day! I've been lucky enough to see 3 dates on this tour, but last night was by far the best. The boys were great & the forum fans were all lovely. I'm having withdrawal symptoms already!!! |

Was a great night, loads of beer and OMD, then off to a party after the show. Heaven! Great to met a few regulars afterwards, watching Paula trying to poke Mrs Corkys eyes out, then falling over in the car park....  Had a great seat a few rows back, have a few photos and videos to show once I've upped them. |

I know this is a dull question but what was the weather like? (no, I'm not obsessed with the weather - honest  ) I assumed it was an outdoor event and the reports were dreadful for last night. |

Hi Laura, the weather wasn't too bad. We managed to sit outside for a few beers before the concert. The venue was actuallly held indoors anyway,so there wouldn't have been a problem. |

It was acctually not too bad, rained before we got there but it held off and we sat outside the pub for beer. Then Burgers.......  Bloody roasting in the pub, as well as the venue. Phew! Nigel, hope you enjoyed your tea today!!  |

A superb show, powerful presentation of sound although the backdrop was a bit smaller than at the Empire. Nice to have met a few more peeps. The venue wasn't IMO very good. I'd have preffered it to be standing so I'd have more room to  great to hear Almost and Dreaming, pity they didn't do RFWL. |

Wow!!! The concert was divine!!! I had a seat in the fantastic place- not too far, not to close to the stage, just right at the aisle, so could grasp everything that happened there, also i could notice each THEIR face expression. Andy seemed so happy, relaxed and satisfied. He fascinated the crowd with his enthusiasm, and, as i managed to look around (had no lot of time for it, was too busy by watching the concert and dancing), carried all away. People sung during several songs and i didn't see any unsatitisfied face. And Paul's performance seemed even more hearty and kind. If in London i cried for Sealand only, this concert asked much more tears. Well, the security wasn't very nice. I can understand the reason they didn't allow the people move closer to the stage, but i just moved one step side to dance more free and to avoid of hurting neighbours, but got a strong warning immediatelly. These three OMDays made my year. Next year is going to be quite difficult, but OMD concerts have made me strong and "Georgia" will be my weapon in the hardiest situations. It was a beginning. Hope, the band will avoid of the word "the end" in the future and we'll get lots and lots of fantastic impressions, emotions and memories. Also it was very really pleasant to meet other forums' members.  As this tour had such a wonderful success, i hope, the band got the great motivation to do the next tour in the very near future, so, see you soon again!  |

So glad to hear you all enjoyed it so much! I'm a bit envious, of course, as I wasn't there... but sounds like it was fantastic. Great to hear it got a 10/10!!!  Nice pics Corky! It seems hard to believe it's all over now... but let's hope that's not for too long!  |

Excellent review. Thanks for putting that up Corky. Love the fact that the reviewer gave them 10/10 at Eric's, and now has given them 10/10 again! How many bands get that? |

My sisters next door neighbour was at the summer pops and said it was probably the best concert she has ever been to. Even better than the 2 Robbie Williams concerts that she has attended. She now has Best of OMD on constant play in her car
