Hello from So CAL

Postby drofmusic » Fri Feb 18, 2011 12:07 am

Hi Everyone just wanted to introduce myself to everyone one on the boards I have really enjoyed SIr Thomas Dolby's music over the years and I have to say that from the Golden Age of WIreless on I have been hooked!!! His music never gets old to me...and that to me is the true test of music ..when it is timeless!! My only regret is that I have not had the pleasure of seeing him live in concert ...hopefully someday soon. We'll See! 8)

Welcome, drofmusic.

Nothing to be ashamed of; I haven't seen Sir Thomas live either, and I've been tagging along since The Golden Age Of Wireless original release. But it's an oversight I intend to correct.

Hi dr, I'm also in SoCal. I've been lucky enough to have seen TMDR twice in concert in the 80's, and both experiences were definitely high points in this old life. I also look forward to seeing him perform sometime soon. Stick around - we may have the chance before we know it. Welcome!

Well...it took awhile but one my bucket list items was crossed off and I must say, TMDR did not disappoint and I couldn't be happier...saw the 4/16/12 show at Anthology in San Diego, great venue by the way! I'm still trying to get the setlist.
Also, I got to leave a Time Capsule message as well..I hope the aliens or future inhabitants like it!?!? We'll see. Hope you all got a chance to see him or will see him on his Time Capsule Tour. You will not leave disappointed! 8)

Fun! I got a chance to see the Seattle show on April 11. I'm never disappointed when attending one of his venues.

Uhhh, you left a time capsule message? I did, too...but I'm not sure what I said. :?

Hi Korky, I can't remember exactly what I said but if I remember correctly I think what I said had to do with --"anyone looking at this time capsule need look no further than music to appreciate the soul of humanity and by the way this Thomas Dolby fellow was pretty good! " :wink:
Hey what else can you summarize or say in 30 sec?? By the way, how was the Seattle show ? Also is there a place on this site that posts setlists I'm trying to find the one for San Diego show? Thanks for any help you can give. Also any pictures posted from Seattle?

The Seattle show was great! I found a setlist for The Showbox from a link on Twitter. Message Lunesse as she's a wealth of information, and might be helpful in this regard.

As for photos, I only have mine. If you're interested, I could post a link.

Here's a link. Not too many pics, but the man himself is featured (along with the time capsule).

Enjoy!
