Hi All, Surely this day and age all this cancellation and the like would be covered by insurance ?
Geoff.
Not when you have a member in the band who they could not get any kind of cover for regarding heart problems. Anything else fine but a Heart Attack, Angina etc. No cover so they had to carry on with the filming the same as the tour. Francis Rossi is not some part timer musician on the dole though is he? I highly doubt anyone could sue them for cancelling because a member of the band had a heart attack... That isn't going to stand up in court

I can understand that they'd planned the filming of this concert and release on the basis that it was the TLNOTE tour. They could anticipate high demand from fans obviously wanting a memento of the last tour of this iconic band. But as others have said, surely it was planned when Rick was with us. Everything changed when he could no longer play and even more so after he passed away. No disrespect to the rest of the band, but realistically, the significance of this product to fans will have diminished drastically. Surely it could have been scaled down to a reasonably priced dvd, cd, vinyl release for the fans that want it? Making it out to be such an important event that needed to have an earbook and so many product choices to mark it seems to me to be laughable and totally unrealistic. Surely a bigger scale release of one of their last concerts with Rick at the IOW festival would have been more fitting and more realistic to expect higher sales?

I'll reserve judgement until I listen to it on spotty first. I'll arrange some counselling for the difficult days to follow 111
