I think it's justifiable - you can't get the DVD/Blu-Ray content anywhere else other than bootlegs, and the remastered quality will be far higher.

And here I was thinking 'Black Spaghetti On Stage' was some obscure 70s live album...

PJ's the man. And he must be so bloody busy too.

I saw Vic Reeves was there on the first night.

Bloody good they are. I felt privileged to be there. And indeed, some wonderful surprises in the setlist!

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1441529501' post='2859455'] Hamburger Concerto by Focus. Didn't have the success of its predecessors Focus 3 and Moving Waves, both of which had very successful singles (Sylvia and Hocus Pocus) - the single from Hamburger Concerto was Harem Scarem which sank without a trace. [/quote] If Pierre Van Der Linden was on it it would have been perfect.

[quote name='Old Man Riva' timestamp='1441663095' post='2860780'] Black Sabbath - Sabotage. Not a fan of Sabbath/heavy metal at all but the album just blows me away every time. It never seems to get a mention when their work is discussed, which is a shame as it's such a diverse and 'risky' album.. [/quote] It also happens to be my favourite album ever! Inspired by seeing several of it's songs played live last night - a massive surprise - I would like to nominate 'Islands' by King Crimson. Terminally unpopular and very much an oddity among their other albums, it's actually rather beautiful and pioneering - Sigur Ros seem to have taken inspiration from it.

Smashing! Time even for a cheeky pint afterwards!

How long was the set roughly? I too am having minor journey home concerns...

TONIGHT

I was watching that on Ebay, congrats!

Sweet Soul Music. HATE HATE HATE IT. We still play Mustang Sally at weddings as it always goes down a storm, without fail.

[url="http://www.casimages.com/i/150901125726832098.jpg.html"][/url] i'm pretty curious about the improvement in ergonomics compared with original ones: 34-inch scale, better balance due to heavier body, neck seems a little larger after 12th fret too. Can't wait ! [/quote] What is this beauty?!

When Geddy was in his Wal phase, he used them exclusively both on stage and in the studio as far as I can tell.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1441061322' post='2855837'] Pawn Hearts - Van Der Graaf Generator. [/quote] I've always thought that album was held in very high regard. At least in the prog community.

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1441036150' post='2855531'] California by Mr Bungle. Incredible and weird album. Fantastic from start to finish in my books. [/quote] It certainly deserves to be better known, but everyone who does know it seems to recognise it as the wonder that it is. Patton's finest work, if you ask me.

Metallica - St Anger. Seriously.

Get an MB500 - it has a boost control giving you the GK grit at any volume.I think with the bigger GKs volume is the only way - maybe a Marshall Power Break would help?

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1440883290' post='2854586'] In the gospel according to Paul Gambacini (on Radio 2 just now) today is the anniversary of The Beatles last ever live show in 1966, not counting the Apple roof. This means that the "known" line-up gigged for a little over 4 years. [/quote] Have a look at their live history up to that point. More than most manage in a lifetime.

Damn good I thought. Better than Glastonbury, although that was in a way more of a triumph - Reading's almost home turf for them these days. Trujillo's bass solo was agonising. So bad it broke BBC4. But luckily they played it again for us straight after.

Just sold Adam my Dunlop bass wah. Top bloke, easy to deal with, and very understanding when I hit a postage-related hiccup along the way. But all's well that ends well and I hope Adam's life is now just that little bit funkier.
