A very good show, despite a couple of glitches. Strange town to play. Typical Welsh seaside town with an industrial heritage that isnt sure of its identity. Dean is a proficient guitarist but I do think the stage misses Marshall's presence.
I just hope it all becomes clear soon whats happening.....

Same here, same here.

On a brighter note, here's that evening's setlist, plus the only four clips I've been able to find.  Thrilled for you that you got to be there, Bunny.   Judging from the crowd shots in many of the clips, it looked like it was an intimate gig.  Those are the best!  Nevermind stadium gigs -- which usually tend to be festival-type gigs -- can't ever seem to see the bands at play... always too far, too short.

Clips uploaded to YouTube by Slick Willy Tux.  Enjoy!  I certainly did, ooh, that's one hell of a serious understatement!!

Slick Willy managed to capture everything crucial in his video framing; the entire stage, the band from head-to-toe, the crowd of dancing elated NMA lovers, and decent sound.  Awesome perspective (=angle of shot), decent visual range (=no one appearing too big or too small, too near or too far), perfect proportion (=balance of everything one would see in person, that makes a really great gig... meaning the band, the crowd, and even sometimes, the crew!).  Made for a delightful and refreshing change.

If anyone here found other clips elsewhere for this gig, please post the link(s) in this thread?

Yeah, I prefer the smaller venues too. Ive seen the videos already and it amazed me at the time, that the crowd was people who had travelled in.

Its a blessing that they can tour again, and Im grateful I could go.

You're awesome too, Bunny!

All NMA mostly play here, in North America, are 500-person capacity venues.  Sucks though, that the drive between gigs here is just so fcukin' expensive and places too far apart, especially up here in Canada.  I swear, if I had even a 10th of what Musk's got in the bank, I'd seriously try to fly NMA/JS over here to Canada.  No joke.  I can't travel anymore.  So next best thing would be to fly NMA/JS over here, to Canada.  Right?  Hey, I've gotta have something to keep me goin', yeah?   lol, even if it's mental like me.

sad lol, like NMA/JS would even want to come back here, or agree to such a thing.  I wouldn't want it to be a private gig anyway, they don't do those from what I understood back in 2005, but then in 2006 (I think it was, but don't quote me) some club flew them all to Edmonton, Alberta.  Did Mr. Tee give the green light for that gig in Edmonton?  Who would one have to approach now, Mr. Green?  The record label, NMA or Mr. Sullivan himself?   There's just so much I don't know, so much I don't understand.

I don't know how MaggiD pulled off that solo JS gig he promoted a few years back, but I'm SO dead proud of him and grateful a trillion times over to Mr. Sullivan for going ahead with that particular show.  Ohhh, damn dreams.  ugh!  ugh!  ugh!  Maybe I need to go back to school or something?  But I blew all I had.  I'm barely paying my bills and am living via the kindness of others right now, which isn't right AT ALL!!!  I don't want to be dependent!  But I'm too chicken-shit, lost and stupid to get my crap together and keep it together.  It's a lack of self-discipline + lack of confidence + lack of intelligence + lack of stamina + lack of courage = zilch. nil. nada. niente!!!  Sweet Jesus, why the fcuk am I revealing all this shit about me here.  ugh!  'Cause no one I really know will ever see it, I suppose.

Back to Bunny,

I certainly hope you'll be able to see NMA/JS again, and again, and again, and again, and again... soft lol, I think you get the picture.

Just don't go broke doing it, like I did.  Ahh, but it was all worth it.  If I die today, I'd die happy... because of what was gifted, has been worth SO much more to me than gold, silver, diamonds or pearls.  All that materialistic shit stays here, when we leave.  And when we leave, we leave as we came in, with no-thing.  Nothing, but our own personal experiences, lessons, and memories, both positive and negative.

To everyone reading this right now, never let your time on this sacred earth go to waste.  One is never too old, or whatever other hang-ups plague people these days.  We're all here now, fcukin' better be makin' the most and best of it, 'cause none of this is a rehearsal.  None of it.  Food for thought.

I really ought to heed what I speak, as well, but I'm not as strong as I might seem or come across to people.  I wouldn't want to be strong anyhow.  I've found a sort of peace, shelter, beauty, and comfort in kindness, softness, silence, stillness, sweetness and tenderness.  Just too much of those things can be bad, though.  Balance is key, I suppose.  Everything in moderation.  In its time, place and season.

Have a wonderful day Bunny, everyone.

I pulled an all-nighter last night only had one meal the entire day.  Still haven't eaten today and I'm not even fcukin' hungry, or tired either... which is very weird for me.  But I ain't complainin'.  There's no point in complaining, does it change anything?  No.  So why complain?  I suppose that's why I never do.  Most people find lemons a drag, but there's so much one can make, create or do with a lemon.  lol, it's sounds like I've been smokin' some really bad shit or something, lol.  But I've never been the type.

I think it's the lack of shut-eye that's making me weirder than normal.  Hmmm, maybe that's it!  Lack of sleep for me = creative juices, inspiration, love, will and the like.  Whatever is happening today, I don't want to fcuk it up.  It's been a while since I felt this okay.  It's nice, every now and then.  I hope all of you are doing okay too, today.  Take care and have a good one, everyone... whatever you've got planned.  And please, forgive / excuse my rambling.  Cheers!
