Some of my videos are a bit shakey as you may have noticed

Richard

We thought it was just your age, Richard

I believe Rudy will be uploaded onto youtube within the next few days

I'm assuming your vids are a bit shaky because of your dancing, Richard

Some interesting reactions to the Indigo (and other) show from people beyond the 'normal' circle of fans...

Thanks Cliver. I sat in the middle of Kings Row in the third row. Did not notice screens at all. Who I went with didn't either! Maybe it was the effect of the wine!

How did you find the venue? I had a good view of them, but would think if you are higher you would feel like you were just viewing the top of their heads as the seating goes up quite steep.

In 'traditional' terms, the venue is prestigeous but awful. Thursday was my second and last time there (unless I'm given a comp ticket for the December show and the dreadful Cello has been put out to grass!).

In contemporary terms it is a comfortable but badly-organised rip-off.

My previous visit was to a free music festival, so was able to wander in and out at ground-floor level, and go upstairs for a seat if required. Ground floor was fine for standing for 20 minutes, with the big screen handy for close-ups of solo-ists.

Thursday was an experience I won't repeat at any cost to me. Balcony seating is plush/comfortable, but the need for big-screens indicates the awareness that you won't see much of the stage unless you're seated front-centre. Also so many people wandering in and out with drinks, plus the (lack of) signage at the doors re Ground floor or balcony entrance - so many people queueing at one door for several minutes then being shunted off to the other door.



The concessions stall tucked away behind the 'main' door - no ushers, minimal signage inside. Exit from balcony only from left staircase, despite there being doors both sides. You'd probably expect the drinks to be expensive - brought my own (bottle of fruit squash) carried in pocket, as bag-search would probably have resulted in confiscation of bottle.

Lots of people were walking out at the interval. Wonder how many returned?
Some good reaction on non-music forums - any press reports yet?

I agree with you over the lack of signs. I was in the V.I.P area, the only clue we had for our entrance was the one with no queue outside! The lift led us up to a bar and then we had to search for the toilet, did end up having to ask someone. The lady on the door directing us to our seats was very helpful.
Luckily no one infront of me got up to get a drink during the show. I have found this so annoying at other events I have been to.

Does anyone know who the photographer was? Wondered where his pictures would appear.

He will give them to Tyber, who will probably go through them with me at some point, to pick out ones to be used on the website and MySapce - if any.

Thanks Red.

And the photographer was........?

Talking of photos, I have posted some on the gallery.

Oooh thanks Richard, will have a look now.

Here are some links to more vids from the o2. Have had probs with my pc so sorry for late posting. There are a few people getting in the way on a couple of them. Typical that noone decides to walk past until you start to film

Finally had a chance to watch videos on youtube! So many on there! Brings back memories of the night. I saw Richard and Loraine dancing in one of them!

The screen was upstairs on either side,,, i also thought the dj wasnt great but was later told hes 1 of the best ska djs in europe, i loved the mix of old and not so old music so age is not an issue! Apparantly the dj used the o2s equipment and not his own so that may have been the reason!!!

Indeed, Teresa. He was also expecting to be DJing from a closed booth, not right at the front of the stage, so was understandably nervous!

N i liked the girl dj she stopped the music in middle of song i was dancing to and told all to dance like me!! Was soo funny didnt know weather to stop and run or carry on,, indeed i carried on!!! Hehe
