Bummed I never received the link until after the show started so I missed the first 3 songs or so but what I got to see and hear was brilliant aside from all the locking up in the second set. Will be paying to watch and listen again.

Hey there WisconsinTodd, man, I really feel for you dude.  :-\  I sure hope NMA stream an  uncut  full  version for those of us who missed out on any part of it, and or the entire original stream altogether.  I'm gutted that I missed a taste of the sound check.  I'm not a facefooker, but took a peak at what was happening on the official FB page, and a woman who was one of the few who got in quite early, had the bonus pleasure of savouring a bit of the sound check.  I'm gutted about missing that.  That's stuff we don't ever get to see, as  fans.  The mechanics of putting together any kid of gig, seriously interests me to no end.  I would've loved to have caught that bit.  But I highly doubt they're going to keep the sound check in the up-and-coming repeat stream, whenever that takes place.  It's supposed to be today, but still no official word about details as of yet.  I'm praying like hell  :-\  that the powers that be keep the soundcheck in the repeat 40th anniversary stream.  Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed, at any rate.

WisconcinTodd, by chance, did you purchase your ticket on the day of?  ???

Dear everyone.

The response to last night has been overwhelmingly positive.

We always knew that doing it totally live would be a risk; that, at times, the band would 'make mistakes', the cameras and video feeds might be look bit haphazard, the sound mix wouldn't be perfect studio quality. But we thought that it was the right, and for us, the only way to approach it, because we believed that what people really want and need at the moment is something with the spirit that only a truly live event can create.

However, we are aware that some people had connection issues, drop-outs, buffering problems. Far worse than that, a few people who bought tickets, never received their link. Despite having a team of people answering emails and coping with a surge in last-minute sales, we were never able to catch up with the amount of email traffic coming in yesterday. For this, we can only apologise.

The stream will now move to a different pay-to-view platform at https://www.themill.tv/, which should be available from tonight. However, EVERYONE that bought a ticket for last night will receive a code to watch this for FREE for a single one-off 24 hour period on Wednesday - we only ask that people don't share the code and don't leave it running if they're not actually watching it.

Fair play to them. My issues were tiny and didnt spoil it in anyway. Still buzzing and hoping 2021 brings us all normality, and we can all meet again.

Hey, ManxPat!  :)

It's been a while since you've posted, ages, years I think.  Anyway, welcome back!  Hope you find what you need in jjp666's post up above.  If not, post again here, in this thread though, ok?  Keep us posted.  As Mr. Sullivan always says, 'we wish you good luck...'.  Uh, just don't wait so long to post again.  Cheers!  :)

Oops!  Just discovered that you posted some months ago, in another thread... sorry, my bad.  Come back and tell us your thoughts once you've seen the 40th Anniversary live stream.  I'd love to hear it.  Thanks.
