Rats! Blocked here at work. I can't wait to hear this, particularly the second track (no spoilers, I guess).
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Anyone in the NY metro area know if this aired or is going to?
Excellent! I loved seeing this band when they were in NYC and got to my Jim aka Bucka001 as well, a very cool brother, sadly we didn't talk more.

Very nice show, very well done, could have been another 30 minutes longer.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Great stuff. I especially like the end of the program where Hammill describes the long friendship between the three, and how baiting each other goes with the territory!
"Flight" sounded a little sloppy. I guess that happens with VdGG. Still, a pleasure to listen to.

Yeah, they're known for "chaos" in their live performances, but it seems that there's a bit more chaos now that they're in their 60's than there ever was when they were in their 20's... at least, a certain type of chaos (i.e. screwing up certain sections!)
Yes I noticed the fluffed piano on Flight, but more inexcusable is Hammill's guitar playing on Lemmings -he always screws it up even though he's played it loads of times. If he finds it so difficult to get the notes right, why don't they just drop this song. I have fond memories of the original but I hate the live version as it sets my teeth on edge!
I couldn't make it to any show on this last tour (I did see NYC the year before), and so I was glad to see this. I don't feel so bad about missing them now. It's their band and their show and they can do what they want, but it would be fine with me at this point if they'd just drop all the pre-Present material. That the 21st century version(s) of the band can do it is documented in multiple versions on record and video, and I'm frankly tired of hearing the same old 30+ year old songs again and again. I play their new songs when I want to hear the band, and strictly as a fan, I wish they'd do the same.
Hey, that is me! Right in front of Peter. Great show. Wish more of this stuff would be so well captured and shown.
