No Holds Barred-B-Q - Come and get it

[DONNIEP]

Scraps, Vandeleur and GB - your packages go out today in about 2 hours. It should only take a month or so for them to get to England - I swear the man has put me on a watchlist for mailing all these stacks of DVDs to England

I have got to create a database with all you crazy mofos' addresses in it...

I'm a pretty patient guy but I am curious why you sent mine to England.

You don't live in England??? Yours was sent to your home state, no worries Hell, I shoulda just drove down there and handed it to you. You should have your copy by Thursday or Friday, along with the '77 Pasadena show on CD. I need to figure out what you don't have that I do have so I can get you caught up with my stuff and I can put you on the list for new stuff only. Damn, you had to make this difficult, didn't you?

My wife says I'm a difficult guy sometimes.

If you had driven it down, I would have bought the drinks.

Sometime in the next month I am moving up to Huntsville, my wife has lived up there for over a year without me and I am finally about to join her.

Fourth coming what city is it ? There is a cracking Newcastle 78 one kicking about

It is the Newcastle show. You and Donnie already have it I presume. It's an A+ copy.....fades in on the first tune.....about a minute or 2 is missing from On Fire. I'm supposed to get a few other England shows from the same tour. I will keep you gents on notice.

[vandeleur]

Yeah I sent it to Donniep ... Great show tho .... Plus I know a twat who was there , never fails to mention it when I see him lol

[DONNIEP]

I've sent the Newcastle show to several people here. It's not just good - it's unbelievable. Hell, I'm listening to it right now. Every time I listen to it I think about all of the concerts I've been to, and all of the mediocre (for the most part) opening bands I've sat through and it's hard to believe this was their first tour. The entire band is on fire and the show just rockets from song to song. It may be my favorite boot. And it's even cooler to know that Vandeleur has a mate that was actually there.

i believe he is a twat

[DONNIEP]

i believe he is a twat

You're right - and I don't know if that translates to a buddy but I assumed it did

[vandeleur]

He is a mate , but i am a bitter, jealous man

See, my English English is getting better!

[ThrillsNSpills]

The shows from 78 are all breath stealers if you ask me.
Ed's playing is incredble and Dave's vocals and all the nuances with the delay effect coming in for a second , all spot on.

[DONNIEP]

Fourthcoming sent me a giant stack of boots from the early days and they're all freaking fantastic shows. I hear the early shows and I think "there's just no way these guys weren't going to be the biggest band in the world".

[fourthcoming]

You know Donnie.....I still haven't had time to watch everything you sent me....lol.....I have enjoyed tons between you and Momshell.....it's just that you and she sent me so much.....it's a beautiful thing. I always loved that Pasadena 1977 show.....a buddy of mine gave that to me way back in 1990 on tape. I played it so much that it wore out and was eaten. I finally found it again in 1998 on cd.....such great quality. I love the England shows too because they sound flat out fuckin' mean. I remember seeing an interview where the band says before Donnington 1984 that they were making a conscious effort to play the songs faster because the English audience loved that shit. They were absolutely killing opening up for Sabbath in 1978. Can you imagine what Sabbath must have been thinking having to follow them every night? As I'm listening to the Newcastle show you can hear the audience chanting "one more song" after VH's set......when do you ever hear an audience chanting for more tunes from an at the time relatively unknown opening act? Amazing stuff. Donnie I believe you did send me a copy of Newcastle.....the copy I just bought is a much better sounding copy....please don't take that as being an ungrateful dickhead or some kind of bootleg snob....I'm only mentioning it if you and Vandy want a copy I'll hook it up.

Dude - if you have a clearer copy I definitely want one!! And I'm sure Vandeleur would too! I'll send you a PM here shortly.
