Music aside, I'm sick of videos where it looks like the participants are getting off on appreciating each other's flatulence.

He's an amazing player. A bit gutted he's on on the current Hackett tour 'cos he was mint last time.

Ah, standard stuff then. I can live with that.

They’ve always had ads on the Spotify version. Is this something different?

To complicate matters further... Even if it sounds OK at the rehearsal, it's all going to change on the night of the gig itself. Fish batter is a notorious acoustic sponge - it'll soak up all the reflections, which will have its pros and cons. You might lose the slapjack / timing issues mentioned earlier, at the expense of being to hear the other half of the band. Is it too late to suggest a change to pie & chips instead? That might mitigate the problem somewhat.

I'm weird - I love them chunky 70s necks. The 60s profile is too planky for my liking.

'Clemenza... get Sticky Labella over here. Tell him I gotta job for him.'

Yeah they'll smooth off to the point you think rounds are the sticky ones.

GAAAH.. stop it The thing is, they have tapes from the '77 tour. It's about time we got an expanded Seconds Out.

I can't imagine ever needing more that the 120w the Handbox WB-100 can provide.

It's not a riff, but the play-out of Don't Give Up has to be up there.

OK - most of what I’ve seen is already on YouTube. Some of it (like this one) from the original, and uncredited, source.

If I was a betting man, I'd say Phil agreed to it 'cos it's a dig at Orianne.

It was interesting to hear Mike talk so candidly, and quite brave of them to include it in the edit. I agree with all of this, but I would say Phil strikes me as the kind of person that wouldn’t do it unless he had to. I reckon he might need the cash.

i reckon at best we’ll see him behind a rack of toms, doing some token flabbadabbing.

Hey @Bart Funk Bass - as your channel just seems to primarily be lots of content copied from other YouTube channels, is it not a bit cheeky asking for PayPal support..? Just curious.

Every time Clarky says this, it’s like a dagger in my heart. You lucky duck.

With a bit of interest 🙂

I wish I shared your optimism - at least I won’t be disappointed whatever happens 😄

There’s a couple of tunes in there that surprised me (pleasantly). And a few that didn’t (unfortunately :-)) Nic mentions Chester at one point (‘Big shoes to fill..’).

...warning - if it isn't obvious already - it's packed with spoilers.

PM on the way…

IMO - good singer, could have done a decent job on the album but the songs just weren’t any good.

Derail mode ON A few years ago, my Dad, who knows nowt about trumpets, opened a case at a car boot sale. It contained an odd-looking trumpet. He thought it might be interesting, so paid the £15 asking price, took it home, made a few HONK noises with it, put it in the corner, and forgot about it. I spotted it one day, and decided to find out a bit about it. Eventually contacted a museum in London who confirmed it was a very rare Pace slide trumpet, and directed me to an expert - in fact, the chap who played the trumpet theme on Antiques Roadshow. He was performing in Newcastle a few months later, so we arranged to meet him. He took it out of the case, put it together and played something beautiful. He bought it on the spot. Derail mode OFF

A couple of flaky phone clips from our set last night at The Lindisfarne Festival in north Northumberland. Big crowd, all well-oiled. What a hoot.
