They're playing in Manchester next month, and it has not sold out yet.

But a) I'm afraid of attending a concert in Manchester and b) TY's live singing has seen better days:

 

 

I'm hoping I'll come across him in town, busking.

Why didn't I go to lollapalooza last year? If Manchester isn't so gigantic that you can't really hear then by all means go...

I've posted a few things here on CA about OKNOTOK.  Overall, I love the remaster, bu the only true improvements are realized in the "quieter passages", which is worth it to me!    It's a 1997 compressed masterpiece, so some of the stuff is just not salvageable from an audiophile perspective, but 50%+ of the album is revelatory IMHO.  Stuff like Exit Music, the Tourist, Lucky, No Surprises, some of the b-sides...like hearing this album (which I've heard 400 thousand times) fresh. 

 

BTW, I'm speaking about the 24/96.
