What a superb gig that was.  Nice to meet ArrGee, BTR, Suss, Joan of Arc and meet up with Wes and Liz again, plus friends.  will tell you more later, need some sleep/rest.

By the way, does anyone know what they were filming for and if we can get a copy?

My thanks to all on here who came along. Great to meet you.

The filming was just so I'd have something to remember it by. Have been promised editing before Christmas so I'll post again when available on DVD.

Thank again for supporting last night.

Many thanks to suss.  Good to meet a few people off the forum, especially those who I have conversed with for many years.  Really great to see The Rats in a small venue up close, and with a good number of proper fans.  Last train  to London was at 23:25, so I did a runner after Mondays.

I guessed that was why you had to go, when you weren't around afterwards.  We only stayed for one drink and left everyone else still there!

The atmosphere was electric, indeed.  Any doubts about hearing them several years later, or that they might be old and past itwink dragging out the same old tunes were dispelled.  They brought everything back to life with vigour and passion.  The changes in the band were different, and not in the least bit negative.  Darren and Peter were good alternatives, if you just can't have the real thing.  There was nothing stale about the Boomtown Rats in any sense.  The music was as alive and energetic as it has always been. I sang and danced from beginning to end. It passed in a flash.  Looking forward to seeing them again sometime.

The consensus seems to be that the gig was wholly enjoyable and everyone seems to have had a good time with the band in spellbinding form.

I put on Late Last Night a few times at the weekend before I went out and came to the conclusion (again) that The Boomtown Rats were true musical geniuses.

The Rats aren't like that aren't they?  Everytime you hear them it is a reminder of how fantastic a band they were.  I get that feeling always!

Suss, who was the guy with the black & white check shirt dancing at the front?

I've got some video from the gig and the audio on it is good. Anyone know how I can extract the audio from an AVCHD video?
