I was lucky enough to witness this first hand. I was no more than 4 feet away from Pye and Geoff. Believe me this was an awesome performance. Make sure you order the DVD and watch when the series is broadcast.
Hi
Can anyone tell me when the series is being broadcast?
Received my copy on Monday – great stuff. Very much looking forward to Edinburgh.

Still waiting for my complimentary copies but drooling with anticipation it still stands out as a special experience for me. Metropolis are expecting their consignment to arrive in the next few days and will e-mail ticket holders for delivery address.
I received the DVD yesterday and it confirmed that my recollections of this superb reunion gig were not purely driven by wanting to be there so much. Without being perfect the performance was absolutely stunning particularly as it was the first time this band had played live together for 5 years and only got one day and 1.5 hours rehearsal in and for the first time on stage without the great Richard Coughlan on drums. Mr Walker deserves an honour maybe Richard should donate a pair of his PJs for future shows? Special mention to Jan Schelhaas many old Caravanners still year for the return of Dave Sinclair but Jan has made that keyboard stool his own and he justiied the band’s loyalty to him many times over. Looking forward to more shows later this year. Thanks guys great memories and those of you fans who haven’t bought the DVD what are you waiting for? 9′ Underground is worth the price alone.
