First thanks Sébastien for putting the concert up as soon as you got it! That was the concert I most wanted since I was at that concert. And it was a pretty good recording as well. One of the best recordings in the concert section.

Now I'm looking forward to the Germany concert. I hear you have a sound board recording of that one. So I'm looking forward to it.

Who was the guy who recorded the Vancouver concert? I want to know were you were sitting? Because my friend say's that's me who was yelling Canadians in the recording. but I say it wasn't because I could hear Peter better and I could hear the guy scream "Ceremony".

Anyways thanks for the recording

Our good friend Robert Roy, from Vancouver B.C., recorded the show and was kind enough to share it with everyone of us.

As for the first show in Cologne, yes it IS a soundboard recording, and this is the reason why we haven't put it online yet: COPYRIGHT REASONS. Of course, by putting ANY sound recording is a copuright violation in itself, but there are different types of violations: an audience recording has never hurt the sales of records -- but a soundboard recording can, because they are very close to the studio versions. My main problem with that was that the album wasn't released in North America, so there was no way we were gonna put that online.

Now that it's done, I feel we'd still have to wait for everyone to buy the album, and then put it online. I think it might make a good christmas gift.

Hi!!

Actually, although I was the one who gave the Vancouver recording to Seb to share with everyone on-line, I was not the one who made the recording. I got it from a friend, who got it from a friend. I am actually not sure who made that recording, but it is quite good quality for an audience recording. It has special significance for me b/c i was at that show.

I also wonder if i was standing near the person who recorded it, b/c I remember saying out loud at the beginning of the show that Barney seemed in a good mood, and you can hear this at the beginning, I think it's my voice but I am not sure...

Anyway, whoever made this excellent recording, feel free to step forward and take proper credit!

Hey Jim,

No I'm in Calgary. At the Concert I was front row center, well a little to the right of center, which was perfect because both Peter and Barney were close by. I was one of the people who got one of Peters drum sticks. I asked for a pick early on in the show, so he threw me his sticks instead.

At the beginning of he concert when Peter said "Hey Billy your sister is in the audience...." I remember the girl who he was talking about. She was wearing a bright pink dress and a white hat kinda like billy's And she was hot too. I also like the part where Barney said "Bet you can't guess the next song" Because all of us were screaming song names to him. I love the recording because I remember everything now! If they come again I'm so going!!!

I was about twenty feet back of Hooky's mic stand. That recording is great, brings back nice memories. I have never seen Barney in such a good mood before.

I am also sooo looking forward to a return of New order to these shores. I am sure they will do the east coast, but i wonder if we could be so lucky as to see a return to the "wet" coast. No matter, wherever they coem to in North America, I will be there for at least... 3 shows I think would be good! More if they come out west...
