Title: Live Hidden Message
Post by: Againesis on December 12, 2010, 10:50:09 PM
I might be remembering wrong (due to general over-excitement) but wasn't there some Morse Code during the opening "very serious" drone at the Christmas gigs?

Anyone get a recording of it & worked out what it said?

I didn't video the opening and I don't recall any morse but you could be right....I think my tail was wagging too much too.  :)

There was a morse type beeping within the opening. Gig Buddy gave me a look and we both asked "who's Jem buried now?"

We'll have to wait until the intro becomes available and then for someone far more intelligent than I to de-code it!

At least it wasn't a figment of my imagination then.  Guess we'll have to wait for the DVD to figure it out

Isn't there some Morse code at the beginning of the Falling Down instrumental version - it sounded similar?

You mean it consisted of a series of dits and dahs?

@L33VEY: Do you mean the Morse on 'Welcome to Nowhere' ("I buried Andy") or something different?

OK, armed with my recording of the Islington gig and a table of Morse Codes, I have managed to decipher the first 30 seconds or so of the intro, at which point the audience reacts to the band coming on stage making it next to impossible to hear the dits and dahs - but I shall carry on trying!

Anyway, the message begins:

"AFTER THIS IS ALL OVER, i'M GOING TO GO HO..."

...and here it gets noisy.  I'll probably get the odd letter that I can try and extrapolate words from but I can't promise anything.  :?

Top work, Smart UK Person!

And welcome to the forum. Ya nutter.

But what is he going to go and do? "Go home"? "Go Ho ho ho!"?
Answers on a postcard, please....

Well, obviously it's gotta be "Ho Ho Ho" - unless of course Jem was informing us of his planned visit to a nearby funfair, in which case it could be "Hook a duck, try my luck on the coconut shy then have a ride on the dodgems and the ghost train".

Thanks, RacingHippo, and Hi to everyone else.  Can't believe i didn't join you all before - I've been a Frost* fan for some time now.

Anyhoo, I'll do my best with the rest of the morse (never done this before).

I've also just made a YouTube playlist of all the 2010 footage I can find, and called it "Frost* 2010"!

Great stuff. I really must get around to posting my vids too...

Well, try as I might, we all made so much noise that the only other bits I could get were the final four characters;

"OWN."

There were other odd bits - "AG", "GR", "ORA" but, with all the whooping and-a hollering...

My guess is that he was going to go home nad neck something alcoholic in his dressing gown!  Perhaps with a cigar (unlit, of course).  :)

Is he going ho-ho-home?

Perhaps the last word is Milliontown?

In any case, nice work!

I've engaged the services of a friend with proper editing stuff and filtery things, so we'll see if that bears any additional fruit!

It was "after this is all over, I'm going to go home for a bit of a lie down".

Which is exactly what I did.  :D

& a well deserved lie down it was

Nothing to stop you believing exactly what you want to believe, Catherine, in spite of all evidence to the contrary  8-)

After all, it is probably that talent above all others that keeps humans semi-sane (or, in the case of religion, happily deluded). I mean, once you start thinking clearly about neutrinos, you're completely buggered ...
