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
Yeah, that would have been my unlucky self

Seems they have less luck with live synth players than Eldritch does with guitarists!

No, they prefer that I publicise Tom's real name rather than his occasional nickname

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?
Nice place mind.

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.

There is a fine line between brave and foolish.
But I thought I should emerge from the shadows of lurking and fess up.

Has there ever been a Heartland wedding?

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

fair point--I'm a manager and I wouldn't even give somebody a dirty look...or a dry smile
