Frost*Bites 16th December 2012

[Ash]

my best bit was the singalong to an instrumental - how absolutely fab  

[RacingHippo]

How about we persuade Jem to bring Frost* to the Cambridge Rock Festival...

I, for one, would welcome this venture.
Besides, it's not far for Catherine to come

I noted you were videoing it! Thought to myself - top bloke is old L33VEY! See you in the next queue!

Thanks.  I do my best with what I've got!

This is my best approximation of the new walk-on:

our name is Frost*
how do you do
we're here today
to play for you
we've come all this way
on the M25
and it took us all day
'cause the traffic was shite
[...]John and Nathan will have a long night
'cuase they're playing as well later on with It Bites
but first they're with Frost*

To play old songs [Frost* songs]
That is what we will do [that is what we will do]
but best of all
we've got some new ones too
we're full of excitement
we're full of Christmas cheer
'cause later on
we'll be getting stuck into the beer
the boys are ready
they're ready to sing [ting-a-ling]
we've even put a comedy hat
on Nathan King
so ladies and gents
its finally time
to welcome on stage in an orderly line
John, Jem, Nathan [cheering...]

[lyn]

*cough* Celebr8.2 *cough*

 

Both??

[Pedro]

[...]John and Nathan will have a long night

I can't help with the cheer-masked stuff at the end but the earlier [...] might be; "Just think of John and Nath, they will have a long night..."??

From our perspective, we totally underestimated how getting into the venue would be and found ourselves quite some way back in the queue and subsequently not in the best of vantage points when we got in. However from what we could see it was a cracking show I thought both bands played really well. I felt some sympathy for JM who was battling a throat ailment but he was a real trooper and kept it going, it always makes things so much harder work singing when you're a little under the weather like that so respect due.
Great sound I thought, good clarity but not too loud.
Just a shame about the view... bloody low stages!
I think we only managed a few hello's this time, but to those we did meet, good to see ya and to those we missed we'll try harder next time round, although unfortunately we're gonna miss Celebrate2 as we'll be in the US chasing tornadoes.

Can I just say thank you to all the people that stood there tirelessly with cameras and phones etc recording the evening's proceedings. Particularly Pedro who I could see stood there for the entirety of frost's set, camera in hand shortly before you disappeared into the ether just like everyone else I recognised.

I tend to not record much or take many photos as I prefer to try and take in as much of the real thing as possible so I'm very grateful to all you lovely gig recordery/photography people.
