Have spent the last hour and a bit recording the audio and splitting it up, should have it online within half hour.

Also "lol" at the alleged tracklisting.

That's hot. Anyone else having trouble with the video sticking?

[Buchanan]

This show is amazing. I really need the video so I can watch it every hour of every day.

[graham]

Video played perfectly for me, be sure to tick/select every track so it plays seamlessly.

I'll try a video capture at some point.

Just uploading .zipped audio now. I've noticed in my extreme twattishness I'd recorded it at 320k mp3, and for some reason all but two tracks have been reduced to 128. Sorry about that. Might re-do it if I get chance. Link to follow...

Wow, that's an amazing set list. TPIAGA, and Wraith Pinned to the Mist, both songs you rarely hear live. Thanks a lot Graham.

[whiskeyngingerale]

It's an incredible show. I especially like The Past Is A Grotesque Animal. Softcore (Software, sorry....) is sounding excellent now, too.

[redbaron056]

wraith sounds pretty cool in my opinion with the guitars and real drums.

[pinocchio]

that just did nothing but freak me out. i've been to paradiso though. ridin' up on dutch honeys all night. good, good times.

[Freek]

they took the setlist from the actual setlist with all the abbreviated titles and some spelling mistakes. apparently they planned to play three songs as an encore or didn't want to choose yet while making up the setlist. it says "bunny . young . rejector" on my list (I got the one Dottie had).

[dwarfbeat]

This fucked the suburbs right out of me. God, the mall awaits and the Costco shopping list is still magneted to the refrigerator, but I'm sitting here glued to the computer screen watching this amazingness. Somebody, please figure out how to grab the video for this. Thanks so much for getting the audio out to the world, Graham. Maybe I'll burn it to a CD and then head out shopping.

European audiences are so cutely serious. Those girls in the front in the striped shirts looked like they were going to go home afterwards and write a paper on the sartorial idiosyncrasies of American indie bands. I lived in Germany for three years and went berserk at concerts while the locals applauded politely.

Anyway, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freek, were there people dancing at this show at all? I know the limited view that's given- the very front row- shows exactly what dwarf said, "cutely serious," girls. I've watched a few other Fabchannel videos, like Tilly and the Wall and Scroobius Pip vs Dan le Sac, but have yet to see anyone really dancing. Does it happen?

[Jackson, hello]

I love the little toy piano part they added to Gronlandic Edit! So simple but effective.

[Peacy_P]

Aside from not being able to help singing "We can do it software if you want," this is the best thing to happen to me this month. I am eternally grateful to Fabchannel, whatever the Hell that is.

This is clearly the MIT version.

dwarf

[cirrocumulus]

Wait, I don't get the "software" thing. Where did that come from?

Also anybody who rips this video will be the proud owner of my firstborn child for serious.

we were pretty out of it, but overall it is a nice document.
a shame they didn't record the second show where we played
james husband songs and prince.
"night of.... one thousand cats"

[whiskeyngingerale]

Yeah, it seemed like you were more on the ball than Kevin though... I thought it was funny when you had to remind him that he needed his guitar on Heimdalsgate. Great show, though. Hope you guys get some much deserved rest after you're done touring.

BP, does an audience like that drive you nuts or do you adjust your expectations to the place you are playing?

dwarf

[Freek]

there were some people dancing (me included :) ) but not many, no. the audience did cheer loudly though, louder than most of the concerts I've been to. and I would have loved to see the 2nd gig, but couldn't be there... :(

[serki]

wraith sounds pretty cool in my opinion with the guitars and real drums.

yeah, it sounds really good! i actually enjoyed listening to it, which hasn't happened with that song in awhile.
also, its awesome to see "softcore" live... i've been waiting and waiting to see them play one of the new georgie fruit songs, but i guess this is the closest i'll get for awhile.
bp looks so much like bowie now!
