My gosh does David Potts sound like Bernard Sumner, albeit a little warmer and not as distant sounding.
Fookin hell what a fookin treat!!!! 
Thnx Tim and Jack what can i say, great job...
Is it me or Monaco sounds better playing new order and JD tracks. Warsaw!!! Hooky puts more energy into it. I can actually hear the solo guitar on warsaw.. Thnx Hooky...
Someone forget to switch Hooky's mic on or what? (only listened to WDYWFM so far)
That drummer's shite 
Was our Jack playin?

Yeah when Hooky was singing it sounded like blah, blah, blah. Then his mic came on.
Good work Tim.
Cheers muchly.
Will try and work out which tracks I missed at the time. Er, most of them, I think?! 
I think this arrived in the post yesterday, but I went out and had a few swallies fer the Celtic game. Will gie it a listen later.
Cheers Tim 
Thanks, Really great!
The only thing missing from this gig was a couple of songs from the 2nd Monaco cd and a couple of songs from Revenge. Then it would have been a perfect gig.
The Potsy songs were the best, mostly Monkey in the rain. I would sure love to get my hands on a Potsy concert someday.
Great job everyone.

We need Jukka's comments on Blue Monday
He was pleasantly surprised and shocked by it. The last I heard of him he was trying to prevent it all from getting to his head too much.

Might grab that just to run a highpass filter on it. There is an astonishing amount of bass on that recording mate, I'm impessed, my speakers hate you, but I'm impressed.
What was used? I'd wager one of those M-Audio dibbers, or some other digital recorder, but man oh man, what mic could deal with that rumbling?
Oh, and cheers
Zoom H2 with built-in mic set to reverse mode. First time I'd used it, recording levels set a little high.
TIM! Thanks for the CD mate. It's a top gig,loved to have been there. to Hooky,Pottsy,Rowetta,Lead Foot,Jack and Rachel.
Ayy NOOL even got a mention! Funny when Hooky got the lyrics wrong on Dreams Never End,and said "Let me have a look at my notes..!"

There are rules to follow Julio. Especially when you are talking about other members.

Pottsy performance really impressed me, during the song I could swear it was Bernard instead

But hasn't he always sounded like Bernard??? It's hardly news...

I think so. I'd like to hear him singing Temptation as a final proof 
Thanks for posting. Quality musicianship all around. Bet it sounded great in person. Got a good laugh out of DNE...

Pottsy stays in key much easier than Barney.

And doesn't need an autocue!

Aye a touch hot perhaps. Nevertheless, that mic has astounding bass response. Gobsmacked it's a built-in job.
For future reference, remeber digital has so much signal to noise ratio, you can under record by bloody miles and still get great results. Loads of digital uses actually work to -12db for some reason (DVD for example), so err on the side of too little.
(thus speaks a man who redlines cubase more often than not)
You knew that anyway, but others might not.
Still, good job all round and thanks.

True.
But at least Barney actually wrote Sunrise.
Tree-mendous!
Now I've heard the whole thing, and as I paid for a ticket, can I add that to the list of gigs I've been to?
All point scoring aside, I'd just like to say "ta" for sharing the gig. I only wish I could have been there... "
DNE: Hookys list of the departed is now longer than the set list.
Quite a sad moment there.

Not sure if you're joking or not about Rowetta.You know she sang and toured with the Happy Mondays many many years ago before she was on X Factor? Was a bit sad that she ended up on that programme but maybe you are taking the piss , whatever.
Anyway , glad to see you sorted the logging on problem and you can post :)
woke up again!!! what is it with babies and 2 o clock feeds? yeah, the having shaun bit from coach accross holland on the madchester documentary c90.good prog' learned a few things from it, like isnt mc tunes a right twat. apparently he used to finish gigs early to get for his curfew, never can remember, being 18 in 1989 kinda gives it away

Cheers:D to Tim and Spotty for getting this gig up on NOOL, also very big thanks to Pottsy, Hooky, Jack, Rowetta, Leadfoot and the keyboard player(hard-drive?) who sounded fairly tight for the gig. And I reckon that rendition of Blue Monday is as close to the mythical acoustic version played by John Simm, Ralph Little and co on 24hpp as we're ever likely to get unless Barney does another acoustic set with the Doves and trots it out as well.
As an aside, considering that Doctor?(AKA Cambo)contributed a few times to this thread, I wonder if he thinks on a similar wavelength to me(given we are both eccentric Whovians with Asperger's), that if Hooky had fallen through a hole in the space/time continuum and landed in the BBC Radiophonic workshop with his bass rig whether the Dr Who theme would have had an even more ahead of it's time eerieness about it. Could be an interesting mashup that one.....
