It's amazing what excitement one good gig generates.
And I'm not saying that in a negative way - It's great to see everyone so damn happy. :notworthy:

@Weebs.... "Tim’s slave labour hat"

To those who were at the show, how long did it take for you to realize that they were playing Rain From Heaven? Did you have to wait for the vocal line to start, or were the guitars enough?

Feck two days to recover from a blinder, but well worth the price in every sense.. :D

Kudos to all of you who put up with my drunken shlte n'all... failed to realise just how near Leamington Spa is to London and somewhat misjudged the alcohol fuel quantities..

Might have to venture out of the big smoke to see the boys next time then as in comparison to the past few London gigs this was of a different level.. I mean you could actually hear vocals.. :P

Took a few minutes. Listening back to the recording, I'm pretty sure that I thought it was Something Fast right at the start, then it was a case of "oh, this must be Far Parade", and finally it was "holy f--k! Rain From Heaven!" About 3 minutes (same as on the recording when people start shouting it) seems kinda right. :D

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Took me a while - I was ambling back from the loo as it started and froze in my tracks when I realised, then made my way to the front as quick as I could :D

Thank you again for this recording. After listening to it a few times I think I may have solved the mystery of people not being able to hear the vocals.......the crowd talks too much:)



P.S. - "Play Abba you c**t" Probably the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a while.

It could be for the Assembly website, they have a gallery section where they put a lot of pics from past gigs there?
I'll keep an eye out and alert you any do get posted

By the way.....has anyone mentiond how utterly bastard groovy the gig was :D :D

My fave tune was Ribbons :notworthy:

You need to ask Doktor Gott, who was the guy next to me for the whole recording (Did he pull or not, that's what I want to know) or Maisey who is the Librarians mate.

Must admit I did nearly move, but I had such a great view of the band, I just couldn't give up the spot.

Quite funny listening to it though :)

I haven't heard the full recording yet (due to not being a dimadozener) but in the process of sorting that out.

I know the full and intimate story of The Librarian, although discretion forbids me from waxing too lyrical ;)
Nationalise the f**king lot.

Come on spill the beans, I'm sure he pulled during Flood II...

I must admit, one of my favourite moments was your...

'f**king yes, f**king unreal, spectacular, f**king hurrah'

Was she the same girl who said "you've been a very good cushion" earlier during the show? That's what I want to know.
