Hyde Park concert broadcasted on XFM...

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...

I guess I can read minds...

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...

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!!!

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.

Right, I'm listening in far better quality here

....aaaand they're back.

Yes but are you 'taping' it & where's my copy?

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

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

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

Is campbell coming down for oxegen?

Dunno. Steve?

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.
