My Wembley Recordings!

Awesome show. Really quirky set list (no Even Flow?!) but some real gems in there which I had been dying to hear live for years.

Long Road was just about the best version I've ever heard, Ed's voice was unbelievable, I loved the higher notes he put in there too. Immortality, I Got Shit, Inside Job, Crazy Mary - all fucking incredible! And it doesn't really get any better than RITFW leading into Indifference!

I don't think I've heard Ed's voice on such great form before, he really was going for it. The sound for the most part wasn't too bad where I was standing (about 10 metres back on Mike's side) although Mike's guitar was frequently too low in the mix.

I hate to be sour, but there were a number of really annoying arse-holes near us, like the guy who felt the need to wave his flag for the entire show, the guys who spent most their time taking pictures of each other(!), and the guys who felt the need to do that whole punching the air thing for the entire show, meaning the people behind had to watch between their waving arms - very fucking annoying! Oh and then there was the guy who filmed pretty much everyting on his digital camera with his arms above his head, again causing many people not to be able to see - his videos better be good!! In all honesty I think decent seats at the side probably would have been better for me, something I'll remember for the future!

Now on to the good bit, I took my digital camera with me, got a few ok snaps - but really nothing special since I wasn't that close. So, I decided instead to use the video function and record a few songs, and the sound quality is surprisingly good! So until a bootleg surfaces, here you go:

**Please note I was recording the sound, not videoing the stage, cause I didn't wanna piss the people off behind me, and also photobucket only seems to allow 5 minutes per video, so some of the end jams are cut off**

    Thanks face!!!!! Now.. for the 20 other songs... ;)

    It's great to have those... just listening to all again :D

    You say photobucket only allows 5 minutes, but do you still have the songs in their entirety?

    Nice seeing you again too! :D

    I think I cut Crazy Mary and RITFW myself with about 30 seconds to go each, cause I was trying to preserve what little battery life I had left - incase Cornell came out right at the end!!! But it wasn't to be! Nice seeing you again too, sure I'll catch you at some more shows in the future!

    maybe so but think of it this way, i personally got a 20 second clip of indifference on my phone and thought "whats the point, it'll sound rubbish anyway", only to listen to it on the way out and it was blinding!!!!!!!! damn you brain and your stoopid idea to press stop!!!

    Cheers man, brings back some great memories.
    Y'know, you remind me of a poem I can't remember, and a song that may never have existed, and a place I'm not sure I've ever been to.

    I think you must have been behind the same guy with the camera that I had the misfortune of being around. I tried tapping him on the back twice to get his attention so I could ask him to please lower the camera and he wouldn't even turn around. He knew he was pissing people off and didn't care. I met a lot of great people at the show but as far as people being inconsiderate with cameras, flags, etc. this was the worst I have seen. I just don't understand how you are actually enjoying the show or getting into the music when you are standing there filming the whole thing?? Hope he enjoyed the concert on his computer when he got home.

    you won't be disappointed, that show ranks up there as one of the very best I've seen in the last 12 years. I wanna see them again now!
