Re: A must for anyone interested in the BAD II era
Did anyone here go in The Globe while BAD II were running it?
Several years after the album's release, I found myself in there, by chance, late one Sunday night. I don't remember it as anything other than the kind of no-frills late-night drinking den of which I have been in many.
It's still going, I believe.

Surely Teddy B must have been?
I guess I was merely trying to establish whether they did actually ever switch on the strobe? It didn't feel like it was going to be switched on imminently when I was in there?

Re: A must for anyone interested in the BAD II era
Interestingly who was the crowd that went to the globe as i would always read all write ups about the band and I would have definately turned up myself if i knew about it. Knowing how much i searched for info and never allowed info to get past me on the band, it makes me wonder who would have known about it.MarkyJacobs wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 4:59pmI'm sure your efforts were well appreciated, esmark.
Did you ever go to The Globe?
I only found out about it after the event. Even in the song lyrics i never for a moment thought it was a real place that they ran themselves.
I do remember however that they always had a club scene with DJs going on after the gigs so would they include that as the Globe as apposed to a stationary venue ?

Re: A must for anyone interested in the BAD II era
Like I said, I never knew about it at the time. I simply thought 'The Globe' was being used in the song as a metaphor (better word, someone?) for inclusion and embracing diversity.

For many years there was a Globe album promotional poster (perhaps signed?) on the wall of Rough Trade on Talbot Road. I would have gone in there and noticed it on many occasions, without knowing the actual venue was a couple of minutes walk away, on the same street!

I don't think I have anything... missing loads....TeddyB Not Logged In wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 5:31pmThey toured more extensively at times than Sony would have liked. BAD II kept touring the world with U2 when the record company wanted them back in the studio. I don't know if Esmark' site has everything, but they toured pretty much non-stop from Fall '91 until the end of '92, then more sporadically through '93 and '94, then heavily again in '95.

I saw them in Sydney in 1992 I think at Selinas on Bondi

Re: A must for anyone interested in the BAD II era
I would love a crisp, clear 93 or 94 show

Re: A must for anyone interested in the BAD II era
Surprisingly few songs from Higher Power and F-Punk in this set-list? Further adding weight to the argument that post- Letts/ Williams/ Roberts/ Donovan BAD should have been a seperate entity with a new name?
I had figured C'mon Every Beatbox made a return in this era because of the US TV appearance seen on You Tube, but Union, Jack was a surprise. Also interesting that they are still doing City Lights this far down the line.
I had alwaysl thought Radio Babylon would be a cool record to come on to...
