No. The kids have been having fun triggering them on my laptop 😄 One thing I didn't realise about that song until I listened to it closely - the guitar riff comes after a straight four count from the start of the sample. I expected it to be more complicated than that. Oh, and the marvellous jacket Trevor Horn wore at the gig (see above) was one he used to wear on the Yes Drama tour in 1980. He's in good shape. 1 2 Quote
stewblack Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Wonderful stuff, so happy for you getting this gig again. You are modest to a fault, a great photographer and clearly an awesome bass player or they would not be asking you once never mind twice. I feel sorry for you that your view of the audience appears blocked by the dancing backing singer, but hopefully that's just camera angles and you had an unobstructed vista. 2 Quote
casapete Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Great pics / write up / thread! Really enjoyed following the progress of the event, as well as your great contribution. Brilliant job sir, hope you'll be doing the same at the next one. Quote

Thank you 🙂 I did lodge an official protest when I saw the stage plan, but I was overruled. Drat. Obligatory 'Sirens of Scotswood' snap, taken from my position of limited visibility: 2 Quote
wateroftyne Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 ..it's worth mentioning that most of the pics are mine, but the official gig shots (obv) and a handful of the earlier rehearsal shots are by the official tog. 2 Quote
Sandypjb Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Superb thread - loved it. Gets my vote for thread of 2020 already. 😁 1 Quote

ricksterphil Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Like many other BC'ers, I can only dream of playing in such a prestigeous gig, so thank you for sharing Quote
BassTool Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 WOW, WOW and WOW again!! How the hell I missed this thread I don't know but I've just read it front to back. Absolutely brilliant, everything, blog, pics, details the whole lot! What a diary and what an experience, I knew you'd done some big gigs but for a local lad that has got to be the ultimate! Very well done that man, simply awesome 1 Quote

merello Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Thoroughly enjoyed the humour, fear, sweat and processes of this thread. Thank you....I’ve said hello on twitter too! Quote
wateroftyne Posted August 1, 2020 Author Posted August 1, 2020 Hey gang! After a laborious lockdown edit, the DVD's out on Thursday. I've seen it, and it's fab. Hopefully I'll have a clip or two to share soon... 9 Quote
wateroftyne Posted August 7, 2020 Author Posted August 7, 2020 Hey hey! I've unceremoniously chopped together a handful of snippets from the DVD. Check it out... 5 4 Quote
SICbass Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Aaaaah, back in the days when we were allowed to stand next to each other. That looks like loads of fun. Quote
