674.0. "De La Soul" by PEKING::AYRESR (Flares are back!!) Wed May 16 1990 17:23

    
    I've heard it through the grape vine that De La Soul are coming
    to play in Reading.  Anybody got any more info' than that?
    ie, when? where? Where are tickets available from?

    They are playing the University, but I can't remember the date. 
    Tickets are 7 quidish from Listen.  Has anyone seen them live, are they
    worth catching.  i love the album.

    I read that these were a prelude to a full tour.  Could be wrong
    though.

>>    They are playing the University, but I can't remember the date. 

apparently there are signs up at the university for a de la soul concert,
however they've got SOLD OUT plastered all over them, but point out that
tickets can be bought in town (at Listen i'd assume)

they don't clarify if this is a coach trip to a concert or if theres a gig 
in reading itself...

    De La Soul play the Uni on the 19th June. The best local band are
    supporting. Papa Brittle to the unenlightened. Should be a good
    night!

674.7I've seen them liveVANISH::DIXONDThu Jun 21 1990 20:2112
    I recently went to see De La Soul in Hannover and I must 
    
    admit I was a disappointed in the performance. They talked a lot
    
    between songs, not enough bass on the sound, didnot introduce
    
    themselves, etc. Maybe it was the fault of the venue?
    
    Not that I want to put you all of.....

    I've been listening to the album latley and I think its great.
