Hello again, Chuck!

I just watched the Crossroads 2010 concert movie and it’s the best Crossroads of them all. It was a superb experience in every way:

Hi chuck!

Thanks for the recommendation against the new Crossroads movie. Is that the new version that was shot live in June in Chicago? If so, I heard it was terrible hot — I wonder if the heat somehow messed up the equipment?

Do not waste money on the Crossroads Concert Movie in “select theatres”-horrible sound (theatre’s fault) but sloppy amateurish videography combined with terrible sound makes it a big waste of money!

That’s just the way it should work, Gordon! The longer you’re in the club, the better you’re treated!

David,
The 10 Club membership used to be about $15 per year and it has since gone up to $25 a year. That includes an annual 7″ and a newsletter that they publish approximately whenever they feel like it. (That used to be more often)
The longer you are a member, the better your tickets. The last time I got tickets to see Pearl Jam, I was about 12 rows back — I can just imagine I will be much closer next time!

Love that dedication, Gordon — to an outstanding and truly interesting band. Do you pay for your membership? Do you get more preferential tickets ordering over others in the club because you’ve been around so long?

I have been a member of the Pearl Jam Ten Club — their fan club — for ten years now. (Ha!) Because of the length of my membership, I get the best seats when I order tickets through their service. That’s a good fan club!

This is the sixth year of the Clapton fan club. I think it’s just in a tired, but resting, state. There’s no new album or video available to discuss. It will probably pick up a bit when the tours start in the Spring.

Did I ever become a paid member of a fan club? Ummm…yes, guilty as charged…
I was a student at that point and became a paid member of a Bollywood actor’s fan club,…and enjoyed it! Did I renew it? Nope…
I am slighty surprised seeing the Eric Clapton fan club site slightly dull and activity less….how are they going to draw membership then?

Excellent, Gordon, thanks! I’m sure there are at least two generations behind us who have absolutely no idea what we’re talking about! SMILE!
