Yes disc replaced and quantity increased ! TQ's a great guy .

He found it highly amusing - that it was me who ended up with no disc and just the cover !

I have to agree - some great music and variations in style - TQ is a very talented musician - that's why he's part of TD !

Btw I've found a new Merchandise stand technique. Here's how it goes, you've got to wait until you're about two sweaty fans from the front or side (depending on preference, health or your ability to hold your breath) and as soon as you see a gap big enough...you place your hand on the counter...just your hand...nothing else. Then as people move away from the counter you slide your arm onto it (normally you'd have to move out to make room and then people slip in from the sides...still leaving you two away from the counter)...next it's up to the elbow and then your whole arm. Takes about 2 months to get to the front, but I guarentee you'll get served just in time for the 'ladies and gentlemen...please take your seats'

I'm calling it the James Herriot Bovine examination technique it's trademarked...obviously

Still think a Crowd Surf is the quickest option

BM would like to thank the geezer sitting next to BM for eating huge cheese and onion quiches during the second half of the concert.....It really helped the ambience

My technique was to sprint at the interval it just about worked

Didn't he offer you a nibble ?

What an amazing show. Very emotional, classic tracks, inspired musicianship, Edgar got up to play a guitar solo, & my personal highlight (one of many!), the band performed Cloudburst Flight. But what suprised me even more was my own emotional reaction when Tangerine Dream performed Song of the Whale from Underwater Sunlight.

Simply magical, & the perfect birthday present.

Thank you Edgar.

I found myself quite tearful listening to song of the whale and one night in space......

one of the wondeful things to come out of the whole day, was that her indoors enjoyed it all, and her disdain for TD and TD fans has evaporated....again
