Hector Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Well, this is one of those situations where someone complains about their diamond shoes being too tight, or their wallet being too small for the their money, but here goes: I've got tickets to see Tower of Power on Nov 21st, but have discovered that Esperanza Spalding is playing Ronnie's on the same night. Which should I go and see? Quote
Bilbo Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Both - ES will play until 2 a.m.. ToP will probably finish earlier? Are they both London venues? Quote
leschirons Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Bass player's answer Esperanza if you're a jazz man and TOP if you fancy a funkier evening or as Bilbo says, try and get two gigs in. Shallow answer, put their pictures up side by side on your screen and choose the obvious. Sorry, but she is seriously fit. Quote
AM1 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 If you don't go to ToP, can I be first in the queue for your ticket?! Quote

Rich Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I would go with ToP, but I'd be thinking of Esperanza Here's another epic dilemma... Quote

cetera Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Just ask yourself "What is hip?!?" I think you'll find that the answer is 'Tower Of Power'! Quote
51m0n Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 TOP Chances of more of 'em dieing before they get back over here is fairly high now - there's a happy thought! Quote

There are some very good looking women musicians around, but Esperanza? Are you guys [i]blind?[/i] Esperanza plays mean bass, but as she is belabouring under the misapprehension of her vocal work being comparable, my ticket money goes elsewhere. Quote
nobodysprefect Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 inebriated addendum: I have known, albeit not carnally, shrews and dormice more attractive than ms. Spalding. Thankfully, the capacity to connect via a musical performance relies on factors not related to sexual attractiveness between functional members of homo sapiens and therefore the music of ms. Spalding may live on even should members of genus homo sapiens decline her advances come mating season. Quote

EssentialTension Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 To the original dilemma, I say if you can't do both then do ToP - because there will plenty of future chances to see ES but fewer to see ToP. Quote
beardybass Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Give Esperanza a bell and ask her if she wants to go see ToP with you. Job's a good 'un. Quote

nobodysprefect Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 jaysis am I hung over or what. sat down for a pint with some friends yesterday and at about 11 o'clock we were right pissed. didn't stop for 3 more hours though. Maybe if you could persuade Espie to tie her hair into a pony tail? Besides, I think I won: someone seriously took the comparison of a lady in her sixties (has to be?) to a woman not 30. I mean... That should be a no contest, really. AND IT ISN'T! Quote

I recommend bacon sandwich, chocolate milkshake, large brandy - you'll be right as rain.

NickH Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Mmm - mmm, she's a hottie. No question. I'd still go see the TOP gig though. Quote
Golchen Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 If you are going as a male groupie, which would you rather see after the show? Quote
Hector Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 Just to say, I ended up going to TOP and it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. I'm still grinning ear to ear exactly 24 hours later! Quote
