Other Tidbits:
Richard Ashcroft and Liam Gallagher embarked on a week’s worth of North American concert dates together, starting in San Francisco. For this very short tour, the former lead singers for Oasis and The Verve will specifically play San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto, Boston, New York (Central Park SummerStage) and Philadelphia.
Richard later came out to take pictures with the fans, which was very nice. One fan even got a funny picture with Ashcroft holding up his t-shirt which features a picture of Ashcroft wearing a t-shirt which features a picture of Ashcroft, which features a picture of Ashcroft wearing a t-shirt which features a picture of Ashcroft, lol. They also sold posters which had the same Droste effect or Ashcroft’s picture recursively appearing within itself. :P
Oakland native Steve Wyreman, joined Richard for the final 4 songs. Steve also has got a feature in Ashcroft’s new upcoming album this September. RA was scheduled to play in SF last year at the Mezzanine, but the show was cancelled due to illness. Everyone was excited to see him as well as LG.
