I got my copy from Amazon and am now having a blast as it's just appeared in my AutoRip library ...... So happy, but I'll be so tired tomorrow

It's been a while, but came back to say hello to a few peeps and lend my support to Frostie*land.

LOVING every bit of the new offering and as one who knows the heartache involved in getting a moving picture disc out to us, I can only say hip hip, hurray, hip hip hooray....

I sort of fell out with forums last year and dropped off an online cliff for a while, but the way Twitbook is going, might just be back with real people like you guys 

Hi again boys and girls - it's been a while  

As a member of the arm-ache club, I often capture loads of footage and love to cobble it together and share on Youtube (as many do including Fogey) One idea I had only while I was in Bury on Saturday watching IQ was to get gig going forum members to agree on a track and everyone record it all. Then email or use dropbox to post footage to an agreed editor who will cobble it all together. You could get some brilliant shots, up close and personal next to the stage, in the wings, at the back, get techs and crew involved for stage shots....... ooooo it's exciting....

Happy Birthday you two  :lol:

This is great, like recycling an old birthday card

Big smiles, just returned from Egypt where I stayed "off the grid" and as I'm just catching up, I doubt I'll read better news

OK - so here does "International Buy a Designer Beer Day" come from?

I would suggest that if there is an excuse to celebrate with beer Vit-P will find it and use it. At least it's Friday and if the designer beers are not as pure as they could be, you can recover tomorrow.

Jem has a YouTube channel which I'm guessing will be the home for any video reports he does in his non-Frost* projects. It appears as a link on his blog page. There's nothing there (on YouTube that is) right now...but watch the skies...

Hi David,
              I was only talking to someone about this gig today!! Do you still have the ticket and if so, what's your price sir?

Panic over, just found all Jem's gear in an eBay auction, so we're sorted for the dodgy sections of the dvd

Hey there's an old HH amp in there, I used to run a HH head on my bass rig, brilliant gear. Are we having a whip round?

Maybe Jem can allow Russel to take the good bits of the Derby filming to release a goodbye Frosties video

I'd be happy to sync some kazoo parts to that...that just leaves spoons, washboard, jews harp and digeridoo. Any takers?

I'll take up the washboard, been practicing Washing LIne Machine all day

Maybe Jem can allow Russel to take the good bits of the Derby filming to release a goodbye Frosties video, that would be a nice touch, wouldn't feel like unfinished business, what do you think? I understand there's a good 15 mins, that'd be nice  

So there we have it. It's not the end. Its a new beginning. Now that I have come to terms with the end of Frost* I am genuinely excited.

I hope you're feeling a bit better about it all now Neil anyway, I must admit I was a bit disappointed to see your initial post but its an emotional time for everyone involved so I think we all understand.

The only thing that got my goat yesterday was the fact that with so much respect for Frost* fans, a thank you i'm alive and well note on the forum would have been appropriate, along with a note about putting Tutti Frutti to bed and starting again with Chocolate ice cream.

Imagine an ice cream vendor, vanilla would be his bread and butter, he gets bored with vanilla and decides to create Tutti Frutti, and hey, Tutti Frutti becomes a brilliant success, people can't get enough. Yes it's harder to make, with more components and takes a bit more time than vanilla. But he is still an ice cream vendor, just selling different products. The ice cream vendor is tired and is doing too much, so rather than realise his business needs help, he goes on holiday. On his return, he decides not to sell Tutti Frutti anymore and sticks to vanilla instead. All his Tutti Frutti customers were disappointed, not wanting vanilla, and went to see Ben & Jerry.

But vanilla makes the money to pay the bills whereas Tutti Frutti actually (probably) makes him a loss. The Tutti Frutti customers might be disappointed but he simply can't stop making vanilla so whats the guy to do?

He hasn't gone back to vanilla anyway. There will always be vanilla. he has just exchanged Tutti Frutti with chocolate.

Just to focus on the hobby / part-time / for a laugh / relief from pop,  comments that have been made from the start when we talk of Jem and Frost*, may I be the one who points out that there are very few prog bands / musicians on the circuit who do not have full time occupations and families. Those who are full time need to diversify by playing with several groups, session work etc, look at it Bites, JM plays with everyone, BD plays with a corporate entertainment band. But let's face it, Jem is a full time musician, producer, arranger who has had the luxury of putting weeks at a time of his schedule to Frost*.

Well you don't leave much room for manouever.
You don't care if you offend, you imply that I am a mindless fanboy and you say you're not coming back....
So I shall simply continue to give overwhelming support to Jem in your absence.

Sorry Peds, you know I do care, and I apologise
