Do you have a recipe for cider macaroons?

[micknand]

Buy a bag of macaroons and 6 bottles of bulmers apple cider.

Put the macaroons in the cupboard and drink the cider.

Immediately reminded me of my first gig, also in 1977, Yes at Wembley Empire Pool, October 25, Going For The One tour. I'm still amazed that my parents let me travel down from Buckingham as a decidedly wet-behind-the-ears 16-year old with only an even wetter (but equally devoted Yesfan) schoolmate as travelling companion. Those were the days ...

Slightly more street cred perhaps in my second gig, six months later, namely The Buzzcocks at Aylesbury Friars. I still remember them threatening to walk off if the audience didn't stop gobbing at them; predictably, the gig ended fairly soon thereafter

Right I've just checked my videos and here's a breakdown of what I have:

BLM (2:27 at the start of the song including Jem's "I'm just the 2nd best keyboard player line")

Pocket Sun (2:21 from near the start this ends a bit abruptly, what can I say was drunk)

EIMA
HyperV
Saline
Wonderland

The next clip I have is 24:56 and starts with the last 2:45 of EIMA and then contains everything up to the end of Wonderland, I'm obviously going to have to split these up for youtube and I think in Wonderland Dec asked the audience to sing along and stupidly I did so I might have to edit some of that out as trust me you do not want to hear my drunken rendition of it, and I can only apologise to JIB who was standing next to me if you caught an earful of that :lol:

Snowman
Toys
Milliontown

The next clip is 35:48 Starts at "Death has done her work this morning" and ends when the band leave the stage at the end of Milliontown.

I think what I'll do is split the individual songs up so that you watch them on youtube with the exception of Milliontown which I think rather that split into several parts for youtube I'll leave as one video and give you a link to download it.

A few little things, the lights at the back were playing hell with my camera and so to appear as strips of light right down the picture in parts, also as previously mentioned I was ever so slightly drunk so the footage is the steadiest ever shot and does wander around a bit in places.  Also when I've zoomed in tight on someone the picture has got a bit grainy due to the lack of light.

Hopefully some of this will make it online sometime tomorrow night but please be patient it will all get done it just might take me some time.

I were too busy creating my own infernal racket.


Well done for getting so much of it but yep, the lighting made any kind of imaging very difficult.

[Mouse]

I await with genuine excitement, Mike!  
Oh by the way, does anyone have any live Frost* audio recordings? I've been longing to hear the live versions of BLM and Milliontown again!

[RacingHippo]

Top dude, Mike!
Take your time - it'll be worth the wait

[rogerg]

welcome micknand!

my first concert was Styx, circa 1976, just prior to the release of Grand Illusion.  $5!

and I'm a huge Tolkien fan, so never you mind the hobbit beaters.
