Well, having been at the gig and finally caught up with the video . .
I would say it was an excellent recording (in all respects) of a fantistic concert. Yes, I had quibbles about bits of it, but they are insignificant compared with the overall splendour . . . For instance, Chris (wife) and I both felt "Strange Affair" came over better on the video than it did at the concert - perhaps the editing of the different cameras resored some of the intimacy lost through the compromises of the stage layout. Interresting that the broadcast has June talking about the Coppers song which hadn't actually been broadcast . . . Was June slightly more nervous than usual? It seemed that way to me on the video. Equally, the audience seemed rather more
restrained than I'd have expected (or than the concert deserved) -
perhaps because the tables weren't populated by the core fans, and the terrace was a bit removed from the audience mics . . .

How come you weren't there, Ralphie? And on a technical note - why would they have been using a long boom-arm mic in the region of the accompanists (Mark E, Andy C and the Sax especially) when the instruments were close-mic'd? Mearly curious here.

Long time no speak - we've missed you!
