Tell us more about meeting Pete!!! So glad you saw him after all this time, and you got to see him play She which I certainly never have!

Please don't laugh ..... My wife later said I looked like a teenager who has just met his idol.
Saturday afternoon, walking around Poznan, I suddenly see Pete just a few feet away
- You're Pete Thomas, aren't you ?
- Yes, I am
- Oh my God, so good to see you. How are you ?
- Fine, thanks. What's your name ?
- I'm Jacek. Is Elvis somewhere around too ?
- Yes, he's over there .... (pointing over my shoulder, making me turn vehemently) .... Just kidding. I think he's in the hotel.
- How long are you going to play tonight ?
- 90 minutes. Maybe a bit more if there's enough cheering
- I promise Il'be doing the cheering with my family. Listen, can I have a photograph taken with you ?
- Yeah, sure
- (me speaking to the camera) Best drummer in the world !
- Best drummer in Poznan
- Could you also sign a CD for me ? (taking out The Delivery Man CD)
- Yeah, no problem.... (signing : Cheers, Pete Thomas) ..... Enjoy the show !
- I'm sure I will. Good luck tonight !
And here's the picture :

Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?

Re: Elvis & The Imposters in Poland, June 28
Is there any news yet about this TV broadcast? Has someone recorded this? Which songs were aired?invisible Pole wrote:Elvis' show at Malta Festival in Poznan will be aired on TVP2.
http://tv.onet.pl/9072715,audycja.html
The tv coverage will be divided into two parts. First part will be aired on TVP2 on Sunday, June 29 at 10.15 p.m. CET, second - God knows why - on August 18.
So, if by any luck you have access to TVP2 (actually it's quite possible for some of you what with thousands of Poles in UK having TV decoders for Polish channels) and you own a dvd recorder ( I don't !! and will have to record it on vhs tape ) you may add this show to your collection.
I am sooo excited by this. My wife and three kids are going with me, though the hours are not particularly children-friendly (the show starts at ... 10.30 p.m. !!). My wife saw Elvis & Attractions at Royal Albert Hall in 1994 , but for the kids it's gonna be the first ever proper rock/pop concert. Hope they'll like it.
Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.
