 Dean and Brian, you've managed to top the Regina exclusive! New info from Frank, an exclusive private performance, fantastic pics and what looks like the meet-up of the millennium! Thanks, and I agree with coastline, if not best post ever!!

Great review guys, very comprehensive and caputres the mood quite well. Though mainly the mood was "HOLY FUCKING DONKEY BALLS.", and that can be tough to capture in print.
maybe I'll kick it

Yeah, what floop said.
Speaking of floop, I think I'm pulling one.

I'm amazed. And yes, a bit jealous I must say. Anyway, many thanks for sharing, folks. If I were you I'm sure I would have kept all that to myself :)

Ha. He answered all my emails, except the last one. I suspect he deliberately ignores any message that doesn't come from France

I don't think there's really anything I could add to the great summary of events posted by Dean, but I can say that it was just as great as you're imagining right now. A tip of my hat and all other tippable items to Dean and Brian for putting on such a great event, and huge thanks to the boys in the band for being so hospitable and friendly.
My buddy Kevin was talking to Billy Block after the show, told him we would see the show "the day after tomorrow," and taught him that in German the word for this is "übermorgen," (sp?) which seemed to delight the drummer. The last thing I remember as I was walking out of the club was seeing him walk over to a couple of guys and greet them with a bombastic "übermorgen!" That was pretty cool.
Nothing is ever something. |

How I wish we were. I think we taxed Charles' kindness enough for one year, though. Not to mention that neither Brian nor myself could afford another trip like this anytime soon.
I just said 'bye to him after lunch. I'm completely coming down from this show. If I don't get some sleep soon I'm going to be downright melancholy. I'm very jealous of those who will be seeing him again on this tour. Crispy, this means you. I expect reviews and pics. And that's a great ubermorgen story, too.

THIS IS GREAT!
thanks for bringing R. Pollard and the Fading Captain Series up. Don't know if you saw it in the King's Court but I asked that sometime ago, glad I finally got an answer.
If you ask me, Frank should really do it. I would pay for the quality of those demos I heard on the podcast, certainly if they were unknown songs.
so is that christmass album comming out only on the net or also on a real disc?

OK, here's a little treat. We have the performance recorded in DVD quality video with audio right from the soundboard. What will happen with this is still uncertain, but here's a really rough clip of a song called Raiderman that you may have heard. I'd upload it to YouTube but the quality would degrade even more and I want to show off how good it really is. Enjoy:

download CoF's file, then delete the ".txt" and play through VLC.
Thanks for this, Dean. If you were here, I'd buy you a drink. |

Have I done something wrong in naming this? It was actually created on a MAC so I thought I'd have no problems there, but I was worried a little about the PC side of things... it's named with a .txt??
I'll be putting the video on YouTube eventually, but the quality is low firstly, and secondly I don't want it uploaded there until I've done the whole concert and had some time to do a little processing on the audio...

| Everything seems fine this side of the pond. Mac users shouldn't have a problem playing through VLC once they remove the .txt and the P.C users seem to have joy with the file too, so no worries. Muchas gracias, once again. |

My severe case of jealousy gets a beat down when I think of how much work Dean and Brian must put into this sweet meeting place. Also nice to hear that the Man is reaching out a little to his fans at the shows. Skoal, Chuck!
The west is the best. Chas and EDF will do the rest.... |

ya ditto! what a blast! thanks again dean and brian. you guys are total class act! it was great partying with you guys and the other fans.
obviously hanging on the bus with frank and everyone else was super cool. total hospitality. frank never ceases to amaze! and then the show was absolute killer! the sound was great- and frank's voice is really sounding amazing. pretty lucky to see a show a few feet from the band, head in and out for beers and breaks, and then return to the same spot!
wow, what a week. three frank shows plus a great family trip to calgary. do i really have to go back to work tomorrow.

The sound on Raiderman on your "sneak peek" is fantastic! I'm guessing they tweaked the soundboard mix to make it friendly for a recording. Shouldn't this be made immediately into an official Live Album? Or something. I hope if I get in to the SF show on Wednesday they sound just as good. Billy Block seems to be particularly enjoying himslef playing drums for this band.
Anyway, the sneek peak and reporting, and generally everything this board has done for FB plans is so awesome. Is there a more active fan board in existance for fans of the rock? I think not. It seems like we get something new to listen to every week.

Yeah, I'm really excited about it. They did help me patch in but otherwise any tweaking was mine, I suppose. I did mix this (really quickly) with an in-audience recording from the video (obviously with severe preference to the soundboard, but I wanted to make sure that we got a little sound from the audience and the video seemed to capture the bass better since it probably wasn't being amp'd terribly from the soundboard).
When I finish editing and everything (which will take some time given that I have 40gb of video plus two hours of sound) I'm going to see how it turns out and then see what the appropriate way to release it is.
The only problem is that because there was some initial confusion at the soundboard (I kept telling the guy he had plugged into my outputs but to no avail for the entire acoustic set), I:
a) Missed the acoustic set except on video. This might not be too bad for a fan-release, but it'll be very audience-heavy.
b) Didn't have what we eventually used for inputs panned left and right. :/ This means that although I had stereo coming in, the recording is mono, which physically hurts me. Ouch.
So I'm not sure this could ever really be released as something more than a fan-bootleg of exceptional monoraul goodly-ness, but it would be neat to do something as a fundraiser for the site and/or to help Brian and I pay off his flight here to do this event.
Anyway, stay tuned to the podcast, number 20 is basically the podcast for those who couldn't be in Saskatoon with us.

Doh! That sucks. But it's hard to both enjoy the show and get all that technical stuff right.
However, you can "fake stereo" it in Pro Tools, no problem. They did it with all the early Beatles albums right?
I also am happy to donate money to the site. I think using it as a fundraiser is a great idea. I'm sure the good folks here would chip in.
