you must not listen to many bootlegs Ronald. i've yet to hear a booty where they managed to play half the set properly. they periodically get one song, perhaps 2 a night just right, but the rest of the set is ruined by Bernard.

Ahhh I see BLT also knows who the guilty partner is then :)

Sorry for vanishing....if u seen the poll I just posted you know why :)

bet way to transport gigs would be on a DVD full of mp3's....that's a lot of gigs on one very cheap to post disc:)

I'll read up a bit on this new distributed torrent thing....it'd be nice if it WAS possible to run a tracker between us, carrying just NO. IF I understand corrently, I would make a torrent set to use my own azureus as tracker, but with the distributed thnig turned on, even on the rare moments my azureus is off, people should still be able to track.

I may post a techtest later.

And here lies the essence of a truly great gig, with the proviso of course that it's a UK audience to contribute that final X factor.

It's true, Barney just can't get the same standard of a rise outta most other nations.

Incidentally, the thought of going to see NO has taken on much darker overtones since I've learned about all those milk bottle white legs (and, Shug, being a fellow Celt, well , his'll be pale blue).

Best gig I've ever been to.

Watched it from the side of the stage, as I helped set their gear up that day.

It's true about the granny being down the front. I helped lift her on stage. She was still clutching a poster she had bought earlier, as we passed her over to the St. Johns ambulance.

I knew the promoters, so we got to set up stage for a few good bands before it shut down, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Fall, The Cult.

They turned the Fulcrum into a Multiplex cinema, not sure if it's still there now, not been back for about 10 years.

Does anyone know if a copy of this exists with the beginning intact, any I've heard are cut off?

Send me an email - I have a copy. Classic story, thanks for sharing it.

Oh and BTW Steve, when we were in Barca, Grahame Ferguson (a proper Scot!) said I was the whitest person he'd ever seen:thumb:

I think some people said that in Seattle as well (not me though), at the beach by the lake :lol:

As the great Scots philosopher William Connolly said..... "I'm Scots, it takes me a week on the beach just to get white."

incidentally, someone mentioned Crimbo on the beach....sorry mate...the aussies have a cage to put pommes in on bondai beach (according to clive james anyway)

I just got Ohio89 as well...jesus two non suckass gigs in a row....I must be about to die or something.
