Why are NO so good when they play for the BBC ?

Last BBC session was amazing. Even "Rock The Shack" and "Slow Jam" sounded great.

It's quite strange, I think, because you have the impression NO are great live, when they're great, even though or even because it's often messy.

So how do they manage to be so brilliant in their Peel and Lamacq sessions ? Or also the "Trasnmission" version for Peel anniversary...

Probably because there's no drink or drugs involved Busty:skeptic: :lol:

Because it's never a full show but only four songs. Short enough for them to stay concentrated.

... and short enough to remember all lyrics by heart! :D

I'd love to get my hands on the 81 Peel Sessions, I just thought I'd say...

I agree that, due to a short set, there's very little time for them to get pissed enough and fuck up the lyrics. Plus, because this is the BBC we're talking about, artists aren't allowed to get away with sloppy second-hand versions of their best (as anyone in posession of The BBC Sessions cds of The Who, Kinks, and JD can back me up on that)

They weren't recorded live like a gig, it's a proper recording session but done in one day hence the reason it sounds rough.

They even sound better then the album versions. Must be the BBC-soundman...or you reckon they do the sound themselves??That would explain. By the way, the 81 Peelsessions you guys mentioned, is that the same as the "radiosignals coming through" one??
