Just got some of the additional tickets that went on sale! So excited - not only my first Scottish Sparks gig but also my first Sparks gig outside London!

Gutted - I'm at a conference on this date.

After the Troxy I'd give my left leg to see them again. Although seeing as I've just moved back to Wales in the last week I guess I might have to h ...

How freaking brilliant was that? I've seen Sparks 7 times now (not half as much as some veterans here, granted) and I normally can't choose a favourite, but now I would say this was definitely it.

Funny Face, Moon Over Kentucky, Strange Animal and Goofing Off immediately spring to mind.

As for Franz songs - Matineé, Ulysses, Walk Away and Do You Want To would be brilliant.

Wow! This show was beyond my expectations (that were extremely high to begin with!).

Perhaps the most wonderful thing about Sparks is their ability to present their music in so many ways, whether i ...

EQUATOR! Been dying to hear this live again since the Forum gig in 2009. Can't wait to hear what the Heritage Orchestra brings to the arrangement.

This is going to be the best Sparks show ever, I can sense it! Ron and Russell wi ...

The only way I could see that happening is if they did it like the shows at The Forum in 2009, where they did one night of ECOTD followed by KMH and another night of ECOTD followed by N1IH. So they co ...

A truly special night - full of surprises and glorious performances! I love the Union Chapel and it suited Sparks down to the ground in this format. Russell's voice was the BEST I've ever heard it - j ...

I'm trying to pick songs I think would work well in this format, but one of my favourite things about the last tour was seeing Sparks convert some unexpected (and complicated!) choices and delivering ...

Heading to London on the 24th November - absolutely can't wait!

I'm really glad the THOM format is getting a final farewell, I think Ron and Russell have clearly really enjoyed this tour.

Definitely a masterpiece. I think it's their finest album. It's great to see a band take such risks for their 19th album when most bands of Sparks' longevity are firmly stuck in a comfort zone. I als ...

A live CD/DVD of this tour HAS to happen! I have my hopes up on a filming crew being present at the Barbican show.

Maybe they could release it as a box set with the 2009 shows.. I know I'm seriousl ...
