 	And I you; didn't realise there was such a crowd present. I 
thought I recognised one person but didn't feel ready to chance it...

 	Thankyou. He does a good impression of Dave, but also has his own 
scribbly style which works really well in the new material.

 	I was prepared to hate that track, and now having heard it live I 
actually quite like it. I just don't understand why they didn't give it 
all-new words; it's not the same piece of music as `Star Cannibal' at all 
and those are maybe the weakest lyrics in HW's entire canon to want to 
reproduce...

 	I hope it was tremendous for you all! I could actually have gone, 
in the end, because I'm on strike. But I didn't know that would be true 
when I would have had to make the arrangements... Ah well. 51st! Yours 
all,
      Jonathan
