  • thanks for all the videos and pics of the fantastic evening, nice to meet you all again, hello to Alex here, because I haven't seen you there.
    Never seen Alison doing a duet (excluding Angie), a very good result ! Am I wrong or she changed voice to be more similar to Nancy ? Extraordinary anyway, like some high notes in Thea, Utopia, Clay, Lovely head and many others. Big bonus of Voicething live too, with so many singers of every size to do her notes, well done !
  • An interesting debate ensues. We were told on entering that we could take photos, but no flash and no filming (yeah, right). Appy had a stroppy mare by the side of him who told him he should not be filming. Thing is, who loses for us posting vids of the concert on YouTube? No-one. The RAH is not losing anything and neither are Goldfrapp. Even if they did film and release the gig on DVD ( yeah, right.) it would not stop anyone intending to buy it in all it's Blu-Ray goodness ( yeah, right).
    Who gains? Well, Goldfrapp, as it promotes they exist to people who are not fans who come across it on YT, possibly promoting another album sale, it pleases existing fans, as they get to see footage of the concert to remind them of it if they attended and to see some of the gig if they could not.
    I film with pride at these gigs as I think I am, in some small way, helping the band out in these days of social media and viral videos. In 2 days, my film of Some Velvet Morning has already had 750 views. Last night, it was the only version on YT. I read John Grants Twatter page and one of his fans said they had enjoyed watching SVM on YT and I thought, that was me !
    Oh, and someone took me to task for mis posting my vid of Alvar under the title Ulla, ( now corrected) and said it was a shame that someone went to the concert that could not sort the names of the songs out when they couldn't go. Well, you should try harder mate !
    Funny world !

    I have some videos (including pretty much the worst video of Black Cherry - I didn't actually record the video, just audio), but not sure when I will get around to uploading them...




    I would love to hear the Black Cherry audio. It touches me when she cries- when in the song does she start tearing up?

    Here's my audio from RAH.As I said earlier,battery power died towards the end so only half of Happiness,two short clips of Caravan Girl and one of Black Cherry.I haven't touched the audio so do what you like with it.Just a small fade in at the start.If you just want to test the audio then wav 3 is Voice Thing done by Lipps Choir. I tried to keep my clapping to a minimum.That was the hardest bit!
    Let me know what you think.



  • Guys. I don't want to sound like I'm having a go at anyone as I'm not but someone who knows me from here and FB has unwittingly mentioned BigBird (using his real name obviously) by tagging his name somewhere in conjuction with the RAH gig which has dropped him right in it with his wife. It's a complete and utter mistake and nobody was to know not to mention his name on FB but going forward can you not mention him. Sorry :(
  • I'm dying to see Black Cherry and the Monster Love duet. Urban, thanks for the high quality vids! Also, I don't know if you noticed but your Ulla video is actually Alvar.

    Yikes, I only know him as BigBird so no idea what his real name is. 
    :(
  • I thought Bigbird and Littlebird must be related. I mean, what's the chance?
