Talking about a concert
A. I
such a great weekend !
B. Really? What exactly
it so great?
A. Well, I
plan
to have just a normal weekend, - you know, a
lie-in on Saturday morning, a bit of shopping with Mum and Dad in the afternoon, maybe cinema in the evening with friends. Then my cousin Philip
. He
he
a
spare ticket for Patti Smith
gig in Manchester. His girlfriend
make it from Dublin, so he offer
it to me
instead!
B. Wow! You're so lucky! She's amazing!! What
it like?
she
“Because the Night”?
A. Of course, she
! But she also
all the songs from her new album. It's incredible ! When you think about it, she's been singing for
over thirty years! What a star!
B. That's amazing ! Who
she performing with?
A. Oh, Lenny Hayes and his band. Have you
heard of them?
B. Yes, I have
actually. I
them once at the Wembley Arena. They
the supporting band for the Killers on their UK tour a few years ago. Where were you sat?
At the front?
A. Oh yeah ! We
very good
seats – we
almost right
at the front. We weren’t sit
for very long
though. Everyone
up and danc
to the music while Patti
sing
.
B. Did you buy any souvenirs?
A. Yeah, I
a tour T-shirt for myself and a couple of
mugs for my parents. They’re big fans, too ! They were so jealous when they knew where I was going.
B. How did you get to Manchester?
A. I
the 5.30 train. My cousin
pick me up at the station and we
out to the
venue.
B. I can’t
believe how lucky you are! I wish I could have come with you.
A. Yeah, me too. You’re right though! It was
such a wonderful experience. I do feel sorry for Susie, my cousin’s girlfriend. She
was looking forward to the gig! She had
booked her plane ticket for Dublin, but air traffic control
on strike and all.
That's such a shame!
B. What did Philip get her?
A. He
her the new album and he
even manag to get it autographed for her! That's
so romantic.
