I'm using a waiter's laptop in a cafe in Sibiu so can't go through all the pages of this thread.
Just wanted to say sorry to all my FB friends whom I didn't meet. Before the gig I was too busy queuing, and after I was too busy thinking of what had just happened.
When Rain From Heaven started I was absolutely sure that I was sleeping and having a dream.
Oh God, what a gig it was!

I sympathise with the complaints from front row.
Appreciate the effort to record though!
I still have this recording to look forward to - I do hope it contains the cushion remark Despite the noise at the front, I think this gig was my favourite out of the 3. A pleasant afternoon eating and drinking outside right next to the venue, followed by a stunning gig. Sound was loud but not too loud, vocals were a bit gravelly, but in a good way:-) Not to mention the sheer surprise of hearing Rain From Heaven, which I finally recognised just before the vocals came in. That song works unexpectedly well live!! Thanks to the Leamington locals for putting so much effort into making everyone feel welcome: Steve made sure we found the hotel and somebody (Colin Darklord?) plastered that crudely drawn but extremely useful map at strategic locations around town. It’s now a treasured souvenir:-D And I rather enjoyed the school disco feel of the aftershow in Kelsey’s – best pint of orange juice I’ve ever had!
Oh, and Michael, you weren't the only one who got stuck in the bogs in TJ's! When I went, I encountered somebody else frantically hammering to be let out
Just looking through Chris's photos on Facebook and realised they stayed in the same hotel after the Leamington gig that I stayed in on Saturday for a wedding. Small world innit?

Yes, the cushion remark made it!
Oh dear! I have a confession, I am the Librarian
Sorry Bananacamel for spoiling your recording. I'm not normally a chatterer in gigs.
BTW it was actually Dominion Mother Russia, which is my favourite Sisters song
So glad I went to Leamington Spa, as Mera Luna just wasn't quite as good, though it wasn't bad and it seemed better than when I saw them play Mera Luna in 2000.
That one barman was still cleaning up himself just after 11 pm when I popped in to see if I could get a beer--poor bastard--Did they really not know there was a gig on round the corner
He did manage to find time to drink the pint I bought him cos he was in the s**t
