Ginger tour: Acoustic or Electric?

Postby vanrad » 15th Jan 08, 18:33

Ginger is setting upon an acoustic tour of the UK in February. That's fantastic stuff but would you rather he was doing the full 'electric band' with a drummer and amps and everything?

yip geordierussell----its always best to break up an electric show with some laid back material --- but to do this you need to have the full electric show in the first place----thats the problem-----it seems that this tour is gonna be acoustic only-----mores the pity

I really enjoy his acoustic performances though as it really strips the songs down to the bare bones and lets them shine. There's a real magic to those gigs.

I don't harp on about Ginger being the best pop-rock singer/songwriter of the last 20 years for nothing and the acoustic shows give the opportunity to see exactly why I say it.

Full electric for me - but I'll go to either.

The so called 'acoustic' gigs aren't really that anyway - the guitars are still plugged in and sometimes Ginger is actually playing an electric guitar anyway. They are still great entertainment though! :D

totally 50-50 split. they're so much fun for the crowd and the band. why can't we have both although it is obvious by the numbers that turn up that the acoustic/solo shows aren't everyones cup of tea, but me i love 'em

Fully acoustic with RJP and Donny's finest,Hot Steve would be my preference.
The acoustic shows always seem more laid back and fun and Ginger interacts with the crowd a lot more than at Sonic Circus style gigs.
And with acoustic shows there's no chance of that lass doing the 'beatboxing',what the hell was that all about??

Can't people ever just be happy with what they're given? Just a thought.

exactly what i was thinking. it wasn't so many years ago that many people thought ginger wouldn't be performing again. and now people are having a good old moan just because he's doing an acoustic tour!

i personally can't wait for the acoustic dates. intimate gigs are the most fun.
IF THERE'S A SOUND YOU PLAY THAT DOESN'T FIT TODAY,
WHY NOT JUST PLAY THE BASTARD ANYWAY?!
