In typical Robert Plant fashion, he managed to make his announcement of the end of Saving Grace sound slightly ambiguous. He twice seemed to say very clearly that it was their last ever show, but then immediately said that they would like to play the same venue again someday. But Suzi had to pause her band introductions because she said she was too emotional to speak - which seems like more of a 'last show ever' thing than a 'last show of the tour' thing.

Most of the venues seem to have had presales for people who are members of the venues, and Brighton, Guildford, Basingstoke & Cambridge (don't know about others) were largely sold out before today's general sale. Was logged in at 10am, managed to get row F for Brighton but only row T for Cambridge. I'm suprised there's so much demand, with tickets being £70. Last year's Scottish shows were much easier.

I very much enjoyed my second experience of Saving Grace in Birmingham last night (I've put the setlist on Setlist.fm, if anyone's interested), and was afraid that the last show of the tour might mark the end of the project.
But Robert's parting words were "Keep an eye open, we're coming back - but with the teeshirts" (he had earlier joked about this being such a small tour that they didn't even have any teeshirts to sell).

I had a quick look through the article while in the shop today. Does he say he will write an autobiography? I didn't have my gasses on
"I will definitely do an autobiography. Every six months brings new things for me to write about or comment about. I have a number of ways I plan to approach it. But I'm determined that I'll write it first and then go to a publisher, because I don't want to be held to a deadline".
I'll offer odds of ten to one against this ever happening.

In an interview in Q magazine many years ago (might have been around the time of Unledded, I think) Jimmy called it "my rising sun symbol". I seem to be the only person who noticed it.

Mistake.
Suzi has just now posted an End of Tour message on her Facebook page, and there's nothing there suggesting the end of the band. That's a relief.
