Raised the volume a bit,did a couple of fades and splitted a couple

Thanks to MrSWak2705 for taking the band pix.
Thanks to The American for pix of the venue.


Taped in stalls centre of hall 20 feet from stage,15 feet in front of soundboard. A whistler mid way through the second half, but nothing too drastic. I noticed two open air microphones at the mixing desk. Maybe we might see a version of this show released. Asked the soundman for a set list,who gestured it was on HD on his desk (god i feel old) Lord knows how my mics didn't fly off when The American kicked in. A great show.

Two nights ago we were in Russia,last night we were in T In The Park,but who cares? Tonight we are in Newcastle. Jim Kerr.
