I believe they introduced Vanishing Point back into the set for the Mif gigs. Loved it at the Hollywood Bowl gig that year and again in Long Beach a couple of months before Ally Pally. But I'd welcome most ANYTHING from Technique back into the live set.

Not sure or not if I'm in the minority of those preferring the LP version of Waiting For the Sirens' Call to the Planet Funk remix. I sort of wonder if they partly chose it because it downplays the last great bassline of Mr. Hook...

Yes, Vanishing Point was played for MILF. I didn't make the gigs but it's on the CD.
Cun't comment on the mixes or cutting.
Technique is a funny one though. It's considered their best studio one but the hardest to do justice to live. Bernard conments on that on the Glasgow DVD, Fine Time isn't a live favourite, and the TWO times they did Guilty Partner it was a bit of a mess. The 89 bootlegs are surprisingly raw too, given that it was their most pro tour to date and the start of set lists.

Big lost opportunity imo was Dream Attack at the MIF shows...Kept waiting for Barney's glorious 'solo' at the crescendo but it never comes and ends up a damp squib. 3 guitarists and it sounded lesser than 89 :(

One of the missing tracks from the Sky broadcast of EER was TPK.

You can now watch it here.

If anyone's still interested, i re-did a capture from tv box to laptop and fixed the audio issues that were a problem in my first attempt.Got rid of that horrible audio sound that plagued the first half hour or so of my first run at it.Also synced the audio and video precisely on second go.I noticed later on that the first attempt the audio and video were a moment or two out of sync but i worked out how to fix that.Also inserted the Perfect Kiss in from a YouTube rip of the clip that was released on Friday.Have edited in to the place where it was in the setlist after Plastic.Anyway, PM if you want the better copy.Or alternatively buy the Blu Ray in a couple of weeks.

If nothing else i used retrying the capture as an excuse to trial and error my capture box and OBS Studio software that came with it.It's all educating (and entertainment and recreation?) Anyone here familiar with OBS Studio? It can be a bugger to get the hang of!

Yeah, what a cruddy site. The Macca III review is just as bad. I guess it's cos they're just tryna sell the products.

At least Simply Red covered New Order https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE3g2zeBVQQ
Mick Hucknall confesses he has never given a girl an orgasm. 'Maybe one day someone will come.'

My package arrived today (I opted for the 2xCD, 1xBD combo).

I have to admit, it's a handsome package.
Quality book housing the discs and a fair amount of images.
And the book slides into a very nice, premium-feeling slipcase.
There's also a sticker on the shrink-wrapping detailing the contents (for those that are interested).

Really nice! Ripping the audio discs now.

Listening on Spotify.

They sound so massive in-person, but their live albums make them sound so neutered, especially on their rock stuff. Steve's drums sound so flat, despite beating the shit out of them in-person.

Would love a decent mix on a live album for once.

The electronic stuff does sound good tho.
