All I can say is: how lucky we are!! Personally, I was going through a monster post­ tour withdrawal, when this announcement 2 weeks before the show came totally out of the blue and pulled me out of my somber ‘When will we ever see Nick again?....’ mood. I secured various tickets in various parts of the Town Hall :) and my dear friend CH kindly agreed to operate the rig thereby enabling me to take a stress­ free front ­row night off!! One worry I had was that... Well, relative to the August screening in Florence Gould (seeded here http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents­details.php?id=500652 ), Town Hall is a much bigger venue, the Q & A session was to involve the directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, and there were tweeted questions from outside the walls of the venue, and there was a live stream promise ­ a whole bunch of cameras were set up when we walked in... So basically, I worried that the informal, cozy, laid­ back feel we had back in August would evaporate, Nick will get more ‘politically correct’ (no jail stories...) and there will be more talking and less singing (since there are in fact more people to answer questions)....WELL ­ all these fears were TOTALLY UNFOUNDED. This ended up being just a glorious event. You can tell right off, from the Henry Rollins­ related question, that there was little political correctness in Nick’s responses. We got 9 songs, again!! ­ including some rare-to­ never performed ones (after the success of my No More Shall We Part sign back in August, I was thrilled Nick closed the set with it here!!!). Jane and Iain played the ‘hosts’ awesomely, and were themselves more into requesting songs than talking! Recording­ wise ­ THANK YOU CH for agreeing to tape, and of course, THANK YOU BLG for the usual magic!! As always :­)

Hope you enjoy it!!
