Did he? Can't remember that.. trying hard to visualise the scene... no it's
gone. Post-gig amnesia: common problem I find.

No it's more of an old-geezerband!

Absolutely spot on. Lock the boys (sorry geezers) in the studio when these
gigs have finished, and don't let them out until a prime 2001 Space Rock
odyssey masterpiece has been completed. (Nourishment breaks to be allowed
at a rate of, say, one meal per riff. I am a reasonable man and wouldn't
want them to suffer.)

On a more serious note, is there any news on the Astoria live release? Cos
that would do very nicely to be going on with. Anyone?
