Well, well – not bad for a first post here  ;)

You're on fire when it opens up after the dub-step part which was, to be fair, always going to be a tough nut to crack on acoustic guitar: really like that whole piece, but the last 2/3rds in particular.

Hopefully the Boss will swing by and take a look: I suspect it's something he'll like a lot too.

Thanks all, really appreciate it :) The whole "post-dubstep to pre-outro" section was by far the most suitable to arrange on acoustic (and the most fun to play).

You've never had a crunch cream?!?!? You going to any of the gigs next month? I'll bring some along with me  :P

If you're going to do an acoustic version of something... nothing like picking a challenge! But pulled off with aplomb! (and and perhaps a plumb... and definitely many a strum!) :D

And good choice of biscuit too! ;)

That's good that is.
Even had the kids running in and saying "is that towerblock" & I just thought they were heathens.
Did you and your brothers all learn to play the guitar at the same time?

Welcome and congrats - great video & version.  8)
Must have taken you ages to work all that out, arrange it, video it and edit it all together - very impressive. And it even has the famous 12 second in 'clunk'!  ;D
Once again it shows what good songs Mr G writes as they can be rearranged in so many different ways.

To say thanks I've decided to record the whole of Milliontown in the same manner. I hope you enjoy it just as much: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ

Jem has now seen it (see Twitter), he loves it and it has inspired him to play the whole of FS at the autumn gigs.
Well played!!

Thanks all :) When I was recording it I never once thought anyone in the band would end up watching it, let alone liking it, let alone liking it enough to decide to play the song live haha! D'ya think if I recorded an acoustic Dividing Line then Jem might consider adding that back into the setlist?  ;)

Hehe, no worries. Thanks for not calling the Police on me  :) (oh, and thanks for the tour poster)

Fair enough with the last three, but surely you can't count my hometown as stalking grounds??? (Especially when they didn't even play here!)
