Hyde Park concert broadcasted on XFM...

bloody black crowes on right now.

8.45 there on and they are playing a hooky guest mix at 8.00

The quality of the broadcast is very low .

WOW "strings of life" what an openner for NO :)

dumping it to a nicam tape BTW.

Right...I'm off til after....or at least until I recover from their entrance.

Happy pillaging muddyfunsters.

Is there a link to this super high? I don't use WMP perhaps that is the problem... There was a "mms Stream" but it didn't work...

Crystal Regret Love Vigilantes Krafty True Faith Transmission Run Wild Jetstream Waiting For The Sirens' Call Bizzare Love Triangle Love Will Tear Us Apart Temptation

Atmosphere She's Lost Control Blue Monday

Oh, and sound quality here is fecking EXCELLENT

/me hugs his satellite decoders

And then I realised I had my decoder plugged into my Denon

Live New Order, crystal clear and loud

first WHOOO of the night!

The band and the super-hi sound great!

first cliche of the night - "brought the rain from Manchester"

and its Regret

Is it me or does Barney's voice sound peculiar on Regret?

No, it seems off to me also, very weird for some reason

Love Vigilantes

Love Vigilantes

Yeah! It seemed a bit tinny or something. Not his usual robust self.

The web stream probably wasnae helping, though - it still sounded off on the pure MPEG2 here.

krafty now

True Faith...

Complete with the usual lyrical modification

Transmisson

They seem to be having problems with "sg" - synth guitars?

Dawn Zee's backing vocals are very audible on the songs so far - it makes for an interesting effect.

He just specifically said his "is everyone having a good time" and SAID it was a cliche

Run Wild

did the autocue malfunction in Run wild?

nice Coke joke there

J-E-TStream now...

Something tells me that BM is upcoming here...

But its WFTSC here now.

Spotnick wrote: It's evident they will do something new tonight, they skipped Hey Now What You Doing...

However when they played Love Vigilantes, I said "that's it.. same set"

I'm sure if something different is coming it will be in the encore. But wouldn't it be great if they played EGG after this or something?

Does Bernard consciously attempt an american accent when he sings?

Good mix from XFM, no poxy DJ talking between songs and the sound is much better than the BBC are dishing out from Glastonbury. NO sound really good tonight.

Kiss of death that was - jingle just kicked in!

AHHH they botched the best part of the song!

Nearly had a heart attack there, XFM put a branding segment in for a few secons, and I thought it was a fucking adbreak.

Hooky talking for once...

BLT.

I can't listen to this but reading this play by play is more exciting than watching childbirth

"I see the head...!"

some signal dropouts here

Love Will Tear Us Apart - he said something about word free? what the?

Is it me or him bolloxing the vocals? could be my memory, doubt it..

the "COME ON" and "YEAH" really destroy this track more than any others.

Yeah, i couldnt get that bit either

(I've got my nool t-shirt on for a bit of atmosphere - no really!

Just when we thought he had cut down on saying COME ON YEAH!

Spotnick wrote: I must say, through the years, their rendition of LWTUA is excellent.... it's getting better each time.

I agree. It was actually the highlight of the NYC show for me.

Another branding bug, argh...

Barney claiming that LWTUA was "the first ever indy record". Right...

And its Temptation, as predicted.

Oh... Temptation... My favourite Live-Track.

why are they wasting time with Run Wild? talk about tuneless dirge. where are the promised oldies?

You listening on Sky as well?

Got the TV off and the rca leads into my amp, feels like a live recording bar the irregular XFM branding

Anyone recording this in good quality? I'm recording the low-quality stream...

They have to finish in 7 minutes .

Bere wrote: They have to finish in 7 minutes .

22 minutes by the timer on my Sky box compared to the O2 site...

And they're off... however, encore is a definate.

I hope for a future NOOL download ;) .

Encore guess:

YSF/KW1 Blue Monday

No, just the live feed off the net. - I was up north all day with customers - only got back a while ago - tuned in since WFTSC

They are really on form tonight

Oh god... Let me guess... BM is next...

Right, I'm listening in far better quality here

....aaaand they're back.

Technical problems pervade - 1984 all over again, Gillian and crashing synths :p

Atmosphere.

"Middle age men dancing with underage girls?" Is there an orgy going on?

XFM 'dj' is a bit of fun

Atmosphere .

"Life rebuilding, ornahurning" - now there are some class lyrics love it!!!!

I'm not, Campbell said he was...

"Don't walk away..... YEAHHHHHHHH!"

bernard is a joke. the aggro men on here like to blame Gillian for not being able to play but it's Bernard that ruins the gig 9 times out of 10.

No, that's probably Maya & Digital Mike...

Forgot Maja was going to be there - brilliant! she finally gets to see them

What a frustrated scream of Barney...

im recording it

i'll see what the quality is once its done and maybe organize a weed if its possible

Yep. I think musically they sound great tonight but Barney gets on my tits - especially the JD songs!!!!!!

Next BM and over? Or are we expecting sth. else?

Blue Fucking Monday, in Barneys words

OMG! Freebird!

Where'd that come from?

surprise, surprise....

No real surprise. Did he say "Blue F***ing Monday"?

Thanks for getting out hopes up Hooky

This is pretty f*cking cherry.

Complete with Kylie samples

FUCKS SAKE, he's actually managed to bollox the lyric of the ONLY track they've played EVERY DAMN TIME since 1983...

Isn't that what we all think about this song? Hey... He missed his start...

There must be really big autocue problems...

Sounds like Barney started just a taaaaaaad bit early...

Here we have the nearly instrumental version of BM... It's Beach Buggy not BM...

it's blue monday mad libs!

I bet Phil's already walked off the stage.

Red-faced...

BM is so all over the place I am half expecting them to break into Love Reaction .

That's it...

Red-faced...

To match his hair.

The crowd sounds GREAAAAAAT!

I'd like to thank the autocue problems for making this such a memorable gig

"Lazy cunts"

Q. How many years has that phrase been used here?

A. More than "Rose from the ashes".

anyway,I'm consoling myself in the knowledge I'm not safe around Bernard.....after last time... God..I LOVE HIM!!!!!! Wouldnt I just love to be meeting him as he came off stage to rub him down with a rough towel...and a large vodka&orange........mmmmmmm Barney!!!

Spotnick wrote: Incredible they didn't manage to sneak in Age of Consent or EGG yet... how long is it to rehearse a damned song?

AOC for Scotland

EGG for me over here at oxegen

(I hope)

I'd like to thank the autocue problems

Yeah, Otto had an off night. He'll bounce back.

I think he's hiding from us Come on down Steve

WOW.....what a gig. That's 3 performances in a row where they rocked....can't last....bad luck glastonbury :)

LOL @ BM......It CANNOT have been an accident, unless he had NO autocue AND no monitors AND couldn't count. Without any one of those conditions he would either not have lost it, or worked out the problem in short order and fucked up for 2 bars. My vote? Assassination (the song, by barney, as opposed to Barney, by the band, NOOLers,his own large intestine leaping up to throttle his brain to save us all)

Wish he hadn't banjaxed the words to SLC cos it was a lovely performance and nicely mixed. Atmosphere was still born to my ear, just lifeless. Apart from that little list, I can't remember hearing them play so well, certainly not in their modern incarnation.

BTW...."blah blah blah....daft bastard...blah blah.....make me feel guilty" from hookie..... any ideas? Was he chuckin someone off the stage or responding to whatever fookface had just mumbled.

I did get a good recording to nicam dig off sky.....just have to do some TimeLord stuff to repatch everything round to get a scart feed into the mixin desk. the webcast hq stream (who's bitbucket didya have to suck to get that btw....nothing I could do would make it give me owt but the 20kb) may actually be better cos many stations on sky are not much better than shoutcast.

Sadly Gentlemen, funding prevents oxegen, and even if funding were forthcoming, there's every chance i'd be too sore and miserable to go. Besides....you dunno what I'm like at gigs.....until the people I came to see come on, I'm like a puritan, obeying all the rules and staying sober and out of trouble. Ten mins AFTER my chosen arist comes on I go into catch-up mode....kinda tortoise and hare....except that the tortoise is the sort of freak who gets REALLY high on music, and turns into the energizer bunny. But hey, I know you guys will shout bollox at then for me.....and maybe 2fm will be nice and broadcast so I can continue as virtual viking.

EDIT: speaking of which I washed my getready tshirt specially for this weekend and proudly pinned my badge of honour upon it.
