boombox's notes may 2005:

I'd asked Joe and John on the Sunday if the show was definitely
going ahead - there were rumours of only 7-8 tickets having been
sold due to poor publicity, but having been assured it was on,
it was with eager anticipation that we set off in torrential rain
for Banbury, armed with a new DV camera. The weather meant we
arrived later than hoped and contrary to what we'd been told
by the venue, it was ticketed on a seating plan, so we missed
out on the front row. However, the aisle seat turned out to be
perfect as my mate was able to rest the camera on his knee; it
was his first attempt at taping and when I can eventually seed/
trade the DVD, you'll see that!!

However, despite any wobbly camera shots, this didn't impact
upon the sound, which is clear throughout, though there is some
very minor clipping. The only song where the sound is poorer is
Save The Whales - the crowd around us sang and clapped very loudly,
along with my mate's 16 year old son, who *really* went for it with
the clapping!!! Levels are slightly overloaded on this song as a
result.

I've added fades to the beginning/end of each set and tried to
balance out the crowd volume a bit. The encore was on a different
tape - Joe had two other guitars ready, which he hadn't used, and
we didn't want to get caught out by a long encore. No music was
missed during changeover.

This is a very laid-back show; Brighton had been a very in-your-face
show with the audience up close. Here, Joe could really relax. As
a result, the banter is as entertaining as the music. An explanatory
note is needed for Disc 2 Track 05: JR brought out his spoons in a
"flight case" aka a model guitar case. Fans of Bob Dylan and/or
English folk music are also invited to skip the banter after
Submarine!! ;-)

Please respect the wishes of the taper and keep this strictly
for trade only.

Enjoy and share freely!!
