Don't overthink this one. Slide from F to A whilst playing the 16th notes, then to the D. EDIT - I probably mean 8th notes, but you know what I mean. My theory doesn't stretch that far.

Spelling Dream Theater right on their website would be a canny start.

If we’re talking songs retrofitted to the film, rather than recorded specifically for… Don’t Stop Believin’ - Sopranos Perfect Day - Trainspotting The End - Apocalypse Now

I imagine you'll be able to swap dates - they were allowing it when it was rescheduled originally.

Mainly the drummer. He’s clearly a monster musician, but his feel is as straight as hell. Every little bit of Collins / Thompson swing has been left on the floor in the rehearsal room. Tempos are all over the shop (may have been deliberate, so I’ll not blame the drummer for that one) - Afterglow flew along and lost every bit of poignancy. Some songs jarringly leap forward. The arrangement of I Know What I Like needs to be erased from history. Some pivotal ‘Seconds Out’ moments are MIA (the dead-stop end of Cinema Show), the last notes of Los Endos (ends with a whimper). Steve’s absolutely entitled to do what he wants, but he’s thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Lights & sound were great, tho.

Umm... just back from the Newcastle show. Have to say I only stayed 'cos my pal was enjoying it. Really disappointed 😞

Poor Pino... he looks so embarrassed.

I agree. There's some albums out there I'd love to be given the full 2021 treatment (as long as it's genuinely better). As an aside, sometimes even a simple bottom-up remix works wonders. In The Evening is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs, but it's murky as hell. The remix on the In Through the Out Door deluxe edition is a revelation (apart from the War of the Worlds synth part.)

Not as such, but they seem to be made in batches, and as far as I know not since the global nonsense began…

Looks like the WB-100 is going back into production... https://www.facebook.com/HandBoxAudio/posts/4833117030031797

Here's a couple of stage shots from last night...

That's very kind - thanks, Dave. It's a good little band... lovely people, and the gigs are fun. The bass has really won me over. Works so well with flats.

We played at a great venue in Jesmond (one of the posh bits of Newcastle) last night. A sold-out ticket do. Can't help thinking if 'm going to get covid, last night be the night...

But…. Nad.

Reunion tour? 😄 You mean the one-off show which was notoriously musically flaky but everyone loved ‘cos of the circumstances? Apply a similar approach to the current tour, and you’ll enjoy it.

Last time I spoke to Mark he couldn’t guarantee a lightweight build… has that changed now..?

Apparently there was no final bow last night. TB left the stage as soon as he could. This explains why…

Remainder of the tour postponed...

Yeah, apologies for fat finger moment. Jonas is great, but LP was awesome.

My gigging life is varied. I like the consistency of having my own amp. And I like its DI.

Nice amp = Happy WoT = Happier audience, even if it's only a 1% increase.

Nah, they haven't been seen yet on the tour.

Not that I'm aware of, but the week isn't quite over yet 😄

Newcastle last night - absolutely amazing. To be fair, I'd been following reports of the previous dates so I was prepared for Phil's voice. And I knew what the setlist was going to be, so I'd got over the disappointment of that. It turns out Phil's voice was - whilst still a shadow of its former self - far, far stronger than it was even a couple of shows ago. I was pleasantly surprised. There was only one song he had a sustained battle with, but it's not really one they can drop. He's relaxed and clearly enjoying himself, as are the band (presumably even Tony, but you'd never know). Nic Collins is dynamite. We had crap seats but the sound was amazing, especially for a Quality Street tin box like the Arena. The production was incredible (although we didn't get the full lighting setup last night - not enough room). If you're a fan, but you're not going because you want to remember them how they were... I strongly urge you to reconsider. The last domino? I actually have a feeling it might not be.

Pies tend to be glazed, though, It makes all the difference.
