The full instrumental on the Bradford 3/84 soundcheck. Superb. Email me if you want a copy. :)

The debut at Ceasars Palace in Bradford, of course. Very "romantic" lyrics.

Indeed, very sublime. For anyone who doesn't know the lyrics, check out Waterrat, you won't regret it.

Any of the early versions - Sunderland, RFH, Bradford, Berlin, all good quality and crazy song. Possibly my favourite is Gloucester.

Can I have that soundcheck after all Marko please ? Have wiped mine, I find !! :scratch:

Face Off at the RFH. Although at the time we were not entirely sure of the title. "Thought of You" was what our firm used to call it.

One other thing I can remember from the experience was that I saw on my arse when they were playing it.

Werent we all so orderly?!

That was until BS said those words...

"Why dont you all stand op"

I can vividly remember hearing the opening tones to Hurt and legging it over the chairs in front down to the pit.

Dont get me started about DECADES again! Wow.

Yep, I get goosebumps every time. 20th anniversary soon - how about a KP gig to coincide with that?

Hmmm. Maybe a 20th anniversary piss up then. Somewhere on the South Bank for old times' sake!

Actually, I kind of prfer the later versions from 86 or so, when Barney has (sort of) improved his vocal acumen and really let's loose on the vocals (e.g. g-mex or hollywood). Early or late, though, I think this is a crucial part of the band's live canon.

Me and some mates actually watched em soundcheck atthe RFH. Really funny to watch em trying to get Hurt right.

I still have my MUSIC FOR MINERS badge, sad git that I am

My favorite as well. Took quite a while to get the transcription down. Anybody want to give it a once-over and fix any obvious blinders or give suggestions to resolve a few ambiguities?

For amusing lyrics listen to Hemel Hempstead 85.

"I'd rather watch BBC2 than shag the fucking arse off you, Ohh" :laugh:

I'm sure there's various other rooms in the building which are available. I've seen some right sh1te over the years there, book readings and what-have-you.

Actually, they always have an ensemble playing by the bar whenever you're in there anyways!

Weirdo at Byron Bay.

We've had discussions about it on here before....but it's still the funniest thing I've ever heard.

That's also available at new-order.net

If you have never heard this PLEASE go check it out....you willnae regret it :lol:

FUCK - didnae read the thread topic properly! Ach well. This gig is a classic - a good lad sent me it not long ago, after you lot banging on about Decades - I decided I HAD to get it.....superb indeedy:D

I have fond memories of the RFH gig and soundcheck.

Decades was sublime
