I'm a lifelong Alphaville fan & still remember hearing the 12" remix of Forever Young for the first time. Despite the difficulties of getting hold of their music here in the UK in the late 80s and 90s, I've managed to get hold of all the items I wanted, though I've yet to see them live.
I've joined today because I feel quite strongly about the planned LA concerts. One one hand I'm genuinely delighted that Marian is making his dream come true. He deserves it and I guess all fans will want to support this - me included. The problem is that I can't support it in it's current format. I'm a Dad with two kids and financial commitments, and a partner who believes music should cost no more than a CD (good job she didn't see the bill for Dreamscapes....). I suppose this puts me in a category that wouldn't make me a target audience for such a costly event. But there's no option there at present for people like me who want to say "thanks" to Marian & to contribute to the success of this event in a lesser way to help make it happen. At the moment I feel a bit like this is an "Impossible Dream" for me.
In reality even a 50% price saving for the event wouldn't help me, but how about putting together a package for those of us who can't travel to LA? I'd be more than happy to pay handsomely for a package to cover a live stream of the concerts and for any CDs/DVDs that may be planned. In this way I will have the opportunity to help make this happen.
