Welcome to the forum Guy. Don't be shy next time, just come up and say hello!Guy wrote:After stalking this group for many months, here's my first post.
Been a TD fan since 1982. But to be honest, I lost track of them over the last couple of years. The posts here have helped me to get me interested again. The mention of the London gig here many months ago got me really excited. So I was there last Friday and enjoyed every minute of it. I do like MFD. I think the album contains some really beautiful songs which seem to strike a chord with me (maybe I am getting old). It actually brought tears to my eyes hearing the eighties tracks. I kind of grew up with that music. Great stuff.
As for the 'music coming of a hard disk'. Although it is a bit annoying to see someone hitting a drum frantically without hearing a sound coming out, I did not let that ruin the experience. If you think about it, this was a one off gig. For them to do the music live would have required a lot of work. That seems to be very expensive for a single performance. TD is not a charity after all.
Again, thanks to all the fans on this site to keep the TD flame burning. Looking forward to the next concert! Maybe the next time I will be able to talk to some of the other fans.
Thanks for the photos HP7. I hope the lights shining off my head didn't distract you too much!batman wrote:Very good photo from excellent memoriesHarryPotter No7 wrote:I loved this concert very much, even the MFD part, I just hope it will get a DVD release soon.
Here's a few photos I took from the balcony:

I was in the Jack Horner that evening. was sipping a beer on my own at the bar waiting for a mate. I regret now not walking over to anyone with a TD t-shirt on for a chat.Hobo wrote:Welcome to the forum Guy.

On the other hand, I introduced myself to lots of people, outsayed my welcome and generally made a nuisance of myself!24db wrote:watch out for the ones in t-shirtsGuy wrote:I was in the Jack Horner that evening. was sipping a beer on my own at the bar waiting for a mate.

I know what you mean though, I knew far more faces at the pub, but I didn't say hello to all of them as they didn't know me.
nah..it was the meat based thang...you were fine up to that point, after that you claimed you were Edgar's love child...so Nickie and myself had to leaveHobo wrote:24db wrote:so were you mateHobo wrote:Now you're talking!
I get verbose after I've partaken of spicy meat based comestibles! (or it could be the beer!).
