The site is indeed rather barren, the only thing of interest being a video of If There Is Something from the 2011 Glasgow show. The clip is highly stylized and doesn't show a whole lot of BF, PM, AM, or TGPT. Instead, Jorja Chalmers gets the bulk of screen time. Hmm. I wonder what that's all about... Ollie T also handles the first lead guitar spot and his performance sounds a wee bit off to me.

But overall the sound is very nice and I hope it offers a sense of what the tour's live album will sound like (PM's solo is quite nice and too short for my taste) Both Andy and Jorja sound good. In fact, Jorja is really very good.

Well, I guess the Glasgow ITIS clip has been around on youtube for a while, but I hadn't really looked at it before. So it was new to me!!! So it goes...

The film is what was projected on the back screen at that show. I was there and Phil's guitar died on him just after the intro. The roadies were franticly trying to get it going but Phil eventually nodded to Ollie a few seconds before the solo and he did it there and then off the cuff hence it wasn't as pristine a performance as you would normally get from him.

J O'B: Thanks for the insight re Phil and OT and sound problems. OT is a very good guitarist and this explains why it his solo might sound a bit less than perfect.
