Originally posted by Detweiler Good Wedding Present anecdote was when I was working as dressing room security for a gig they did at Keele Uni in 1988. Chatting to Keith Gregory (top bloke) before the show I asked him if there was any chance of a recording of the gig (or any of the shows from the Seamonsters tour), he said he'd see what they could do, depending on sound/performance quality, as he explained that the "bootlegs" they did release were selected because they were good gigs, nobody wants to be heard screwing things up (insight into Barney's mind ?). After the show, my help was enlisted by David Gedge in chasing off some illegal poster sellers - the Gedge rationale was that they didn't mind someone asking for a live tape, but someone selling posters without their permission was unacceptable. An hour after the show, I was stood with Grapper alongside their van, listening to the gig tape on the van stereo !
Fantastic little story Tim!
