Beautiful South Rollcall November 02, 2006 at 02:41 PM UTC #

Anyone going? I've been listening to lot of them of late and definitely psyched about seeing them alive again, haven't seen them live since around 92. Plus I get to DJ!

I'm in! :)

How much of the original line up will we get to experience?

There is a new female singer in the band and it looks like the original lineup is intact otherwise.

The Beautiful South are: Paul Heaton (vocals), Alison Wheeler (vocals), Dave Hemingway (vocals), Sean Welch (bass), Dave Rotheray (guitar) and Dave Stead (drums).

Think the band will start at 8:30? I'm swamped at work and on one of those 8:00 a.m. flights out of Dulles tomorrow, so I'm trying to utilize every moment today….

Also, anyone know about the opener?

Thanks

I'd say yes to 8:30pm start time given the late shows doors…

Fantastic Show! Everyone was in fine voice and the band was crackin… You have to give them credit touring the US with a 11 piece band without US label support is mighty ambitious. They closed with "Women In The Wall" a long time fav…

OMG, I absolutely loved the show. It was my first time seeing them live and they sounded great. Watching Paul dance was a treat. Icing on the cake was going over to the nearby Irish bar for a pint after the show with all the guys (band and crew). What a down to earth, generous group.

Mega thanks to Seth for booking them and thanks to them for bringing the whole "family" and giving us a full experience.

This is one show I wish there had been an official after party for…
