us: "we're a mancunian tribute to van halen - we're called 'grump'"

us: "has anyone seen pumped full of drugs.... I've lost my pump full of drugs" (it sounded better than it reads)

us: "ok. just another 3.. 4...? ....17 tracks to go!"

and for the first time we suffered an inevitable floppy disc failure. I don't know if we'd have been able to adapt or respond as quickly 40 gigs ago. but transmission was probably better received than confusion would have been anyway. we must have asked the venue to turn the lights down many times but we still felt we ended up playing in a brightly lit spacious auditorium with a very polite, seated letchworth audience.... hence the PFD references.
