Hi Jim,
My daughter Ellie came along to the gig in Wolverhampton the other week and took a few shots of us soundchecking playing the CTTE intro.
I will upload the footage on Youtube as soon as I can get it off her iMac (dont ask me to work that I havent a clue!).
She also took a few shots from the mixing desk later during the show.
Theres a couple of heads in the way on the desk shots as you might expect.
I forgot that we only had the house lights on during soundcheck so its a bit grainey in places but the lighting guy was setting up and some lights did eventually come on.
For a little video camera the sound was reasonably well behaved and didnt max out like I expected it to.
I will see what I can do about getting it uploaded in the next couple of days.

Hi Jim,
Heres an audience recording of CTTE from the Robin 2 Wolverhampton in June.

If this link doesnt work just copy and paste it into the address bar at the top of the page...I think!

As I said in my PM earlier,its a bit low on the B.vox out front compared with what I was hearing onstage.
I think the little recorder for this one must have been gasping for air!
We were very loud....

Again, as with The Fish, go on youtube and type in "SEYES Close to The Edge".

Theres a soundcheck from earlier in the afternoon of the intro and some clips of the show later that evening.

They arent that clear but at least you can hear it ok.

Pete, Bravo! Finally got time to sit down and watch those clips. You guys get pretty darn close to the Yessongs version of that tune. Sorry I had to miss the Bolton show last July.

Right now, I should be heading for Hershey PA to catch the show... oh well, anyone hear any news on Jon lately?
