Has Gillian ever done anything interesting/funny?

yeah, but you could fill up a lot more than 90 minutes of Barney's or Hooky's gaffes. Why don't you name the show you know of with the most of what you consider to be Gillian's mistakes, and we'll count up everybody's mistakes on the tape of that show here on the thread to see who comes out on top ?

You're very protective of her ! I've got a classic Sooner Than You Think on the US 86 tour where you think she's playing a different tune, a brilliant (NOT) LWTUA that you will piss yourself over, a bodge-job on Atmosphere that is just cringeworthy.......

well, there you go then! the 90 minutes of screw-ups could be one of the discs in the box set!:D

well, first of all, if we started naming the more notable fukups from Barney and Hooky, it would take weeks; besides, just because there is a hack job on a keyboard doesn't necessarily mean it's her fault, she wasn't the only one playing them. For that reason it would be best to use a video for our little comparison. The only one I have is Taras Schevchenko but maybe somebody can hook me up if you have a video that you think is a good example of a bad night for G. I would need it to be NTSC VHS though. Perhaps a modest wager is in order.

It does mean she was the only one playing them on songs where Barney is playing guitar and doing vocals at the same time, Hooky is playing bass at the same time and Steve is drumming at the same time !

so Benny...just so I can imagine this one...what did it sound like she was playing???

STYT sounded like she'd simply forgotten the synth part and was adding a note at the end of each bar. LWTUA was mangled beyond all comprehension, and Atmosphere....well, words fail me.

My recent experience of New Order in concert w/o Gillian shows me that they're able to butcher Atmosphere w/o her.

Gillian's ACE. stop being so tight. She looked well fit in an 80's sort of way when she was twidling them knobs at the start of the perfect kiss vid!

Plus on "play at home" that woman sat in a bath with Wilson naked!

You hear stories of bands doing anything to release records... but that really is above and beyond the call!
