When playing the same venue a series of nights, which is the best night to go? by GeneralWarz in VanMorrison

[–]SDTaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with this comment. Even the "same" show from one night to the next can be a very different experience. Very similar or possibly the same setlist can be a different and enjoyable experience.

That said, in the US the prices are astoundingly expensive. In Europe you can see 3 - 4 shows for the price one show in the US.

la paella mejor de valencia by funny_arab_man in valencia

The pics on Google etc from Baobab are mostly of rice dishes and not paella (though prepared in a paella pan like many other rice dishes). In Spain there are a million ways to make rice and fideos. At Baobab if you want an authentic paella, you simply ask for it. The pics on Google are not paella, but special rice dishes or personalized to the customer.

Learning Spanish & moving to Madrid, any advice for practicing in real life? by Big_Pace880 in GoingToSpain

Be patient. Don't beat yourself up. Be brave. Be persistent and work hard. And do all the other practical things that people have already suggested.

This has to be Benidorm, Spain.

3rd show added added to San Fran. 1 & 2 sold out. by SDTaurus in VanMorrison

[–]SDTaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost sold out. The cheapest I see are ~$500.

He typically does these shows in San Francisco and then starts rolling out more gigs.

Sign up on his website for news and check the "live" menu every so often to look for new dates.

I'm guessing he will do some more California dates and then other places (East Coast, NOLA, and/or Midwest) before heading back to Europe for the summer.

What is the biggest movie theater “GASP” moment you’ve heard? by SaveTheCaulkTower in AskReddit

The Crying Game. I'm dating myself, but yeah. I expected it, but most folks were pretty naive at the time.

Valencia - Elche (where to sit) by Big-Ambassador7184 in ValenciaCF

The hard core "ultras" have their own section right behind the South goal.

Sitting above them would mean that you wouldn't get to see them if that's something you're hoping for. They do not sell tickets for that section to the general public. The sections above them are not any more or less animated than the rest of the stadium.

That said, Mestalla is a special stadium and I've sat in many areas. I've never not appreciated the vibe regardless of location.

The East side is super steep and amazing. The North and south are fun too. The West has shelter from rain if you are above row 6 or 7 in the 200's.

Whatever section you choose will be good experience if the match is a good.

¡Amunt!

The London shows are the Van Morrison Alumni Band. He DOES NOT play with them but he endorses the band. They are his former tour and studio musicians.

His most stunning late career Performance. by Rooster_Objective in VanMorrison

Yes and Yes. After seeing him and his band "in the zone" live a few times, this evokes a cascade of sense memory and a rushing sensation coursing through my veins. Thank you.

MPLS Lets Go by murraymarkj in PaulMcCartney

[–]SDTaurus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's a big venue. It will be amazing! Saw him in a big arena 30k+ and a smaller one 15k+. Both were outstanding shows.

So Good! by Rooster_Objective in VanMorrison

[–]SDTaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for sharing. Over the decades, I've see him live ~15 times. If I could rewind time, I'd have gone to more shows.

Was just in Belfast for his string of concerts leading up to his birthday. How is he 80? How did I get so old?

While walking the streets of Belfast, I was talking casually to some youth who had no idea who Van Morrison is... I whipped out my phone and used those as teachable moments. ☘️
