We just had a big discussion at work about whether or not you should tip the maid when staying at a hotel and there really was a lot of controversy over this so I was wondering, when you stay at a hotel do you leave a tip for the maid?

Happy Birthday!

I'm hoping for Mudcrutch and some Dirty Knobs!

That's great! How fun! I hope you get your wish!

No, we never get any trick or treaters at our house but we do get to take the grandkids trick or treating this year. I love it!

Great news, Nurk! I'm glad you are doing well. Best wishes for Fred Beth. I hope he is doing okay.

I must admit that I do like looking at these but this just seems so invasive to me. It feels like I'm intruding. Is it just me?

Happy Birthday, Tom!!

I'm so happy to hear you guys had a good time!

Thanks, Brandon! You did good! I'm looking forward to your pictures. You saw all of the shows at Red Rocks, didn't you?

Have fun, Gloria!

I couldn't bring myself to pay $45 for a t-shirt but I did my a cute little key chain for $10.

I'm happy to hear it all worked out for you and you had a great show! Thanks for coming to tell us about it.

I didn't know they tore down Dub's. That doesn't look like the Dub's I remember. I know DannyMac would know for sure. Here are some pictures when I visited there. Danny knew the owners then and they let us have a peek inside! It was so, so cool!

Thank you for sharing your photos Florida Accent!! They are great!! I'm still buzzing high after that show!

I would love to see your pictures. Please share!

Sorry I haven't been around much but life is crazy full these days and I have very little spare time. I just wanted to stop by and say that the Tampa show had to be one of the best shows I ever saw and I wasn't even on the floor in the front row or even in the first few rows. I was about 10 rows up on Mikes side. I had a wonderful view. I think the venue was near capacity at 21,500 and the show had out of this world high energy. The singing from the audience as incredible and I don't think most people sat down all night. It was an amazing feeling and I don't think I have felt that much energy since the Vic shows in Chicago. What a great feeling for the band too. I know they were blown away. When they took their bows at the end of the night everyone left the stage except for Tom who stood there a few extra seconds by himself. It was clear he did not want it to be over and I think if he could have he would have played a few more songs, he was that high on a cloud. It must thrill them to no end to still be able to fill up a huge venue and get that much love back out of a crowd at this point in their career. Every song they did was perfect. The sound was perfect. I think the set list was perfect with a mix of old and new songs. We got Woman In Love!! I was very happy with the choices except they didn't play Fault Lines and that would have just been the cherry on top! For the first time I did not take one picture during the show and I never even took my camera out. I just took it all in and what a pleasure it was!! Mike Campbell - that man couldn't get any hotter. He blows me away with talent and just thrills me to the core. I love his look too! He is badass cool with his wicked dreads. They are getting long! Love it!! Thinking on it, maybe one thing that kept the crowd in good control was the beers were $15 a piece!! There was not so much running back and forth to get more beer and then running to the bathroom. Everyone stayed in their place. Now I wish I had another show to go to!! hahaha! I thought I only needed one on this tour but now I'm longing for more! For those of you who still have shows to look forward to, ENJOY!!!

Sounds great, Nurk! I'm glad you got to see it!

I can't get it to play. I guess the BBC iPlayer is only good in the UK. Hopefully we can get it on a DVD someday.

I just saw that! I'm going to try to get it to play. It should be starting in a few minutes.

Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty - I've been on a Matchbox Twenty kick lately. Rob Thomas really is a good song writer.

I'm excited! I'm getting the 6!

Have fun!!

Maybe it will come out on a DVD. I hope they broadcast it on the BBC!

Jeff Lynne's ELO Lights On! Something very special indeed to close the show for this year's Festival In A Day. We're delighted to have Jeff Lynne's legendary ELO performing on a festival stage for the first time in 28 years. Formed in Birmingham in 1970, the Electric Light Orchestra went on to become one of the most successful bands of the ‘70s and ‘80s. An extraordinary run of 26 UK top 40 singles made Jeff Lynne's anthemic ELO songs some of the most recognisable of the last forty years. Jeff went on to work with many of his musical heroes including Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, the Everley Brothers and his Traveling Wilburys bandmates Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Roy Orbison. Talking about his Festival In A Day performance, Jeff said: “I haven’t performed live in quite some time, and I know the fans have asked for it a lot over the years. It’s very exciting to come to Hyde Park with Radio 2 and do something this big, and I’m very much looking forward to playing my ELO songs for everyone.” For this unique performance, Jeff and ELO will be accompanied by the famously versatile BBC Concert Orchestra. We can't think of a more exciting finale to this year's event! http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ernv4f/acts/amnbj5
