Just curious about the samples... do they have to be destroyed after the gig ? 

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.

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.

Thank you 🙂

I did lodge an official protest when I saw the stage plan, but I was overruled. Drat.

Superb thread - loved it. Gets my vote for thread of 2020 already. 😁

Agreed however it is a close run thing against the ‘Upright bass made from a wheelbarrow’ thread in the EUB and double bass section.

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  ;)
