Is Jerry on it too? GREAT! I was asked by Pierre a few days ago to record/download it. Not sure yet how well it will go. Is it also broadcasted on real radio? If so, can you Martin record it directly from the radio? Please do! It would result in better quality than the usual crap Internet radio quality. I will make an attempt tomorrow on the Internet radio broadcast. It will be available a week on the web afterwards. But a direct recording to tape from real radio would be better.

The better quality, the better!

Hi Perk;
I don't know what Jerry's contribution will be;he's one of a number of people named. Unfortunately we are out tonight, & I wasn't planning to record it.Perhaps someone else here in the UK. could get a good copy ?

Why dvd? It´s only a a short "audio" radio show? Anyway i can´t get that realaudio player to install from BBC. I tried now with everything uninstalled everything from virus protections etc. No reaction still from the BBC website. It´s just locked for me.

I think it`s to do with UK copyright of BBC broadcasts,they have some kind of lock from my understanding, two pals abroad rely on copies

There's been a good 50s week on BBC radio 2 this week with Larry Parnes, Fats and Gene all getting good docs, the international rugby match between Wales and England clashed with the Vincent so I will catch it later, weird choice of mod Roger Daltrey to host a tribute to the black leather rocker, his lot fought us on UK seasides in the mid 60s ) Bruce Hornsby was a much better host for the Fats and Malcolm Maclaren did the Parnes story, all thses with the super Buddy Holly tributes/shows means the BBC has done us proud once again

ps I like annoying my punk pals by pointing out Johnny Rotten's lame butter tv ads in the UK, wot a rebel!!!

It was quite interesting, but Roger Daltrey was clearly on the other side of the fence, talking about 'us' and 'them', meaning the successful British Mod groups versus the American has-been rockers. Only thing was, of course, many of them never had been in UK, not on tour anyway. First time we really got to see many of these living legends 'live' was in the 1960s.

Jerry had very few comments, right at the end. But he did get the last word in. I have a poor quality cassette recording if anyone wants it, with a break in the middle where I had to turn it over!

Some of us still live with the old technology.

(Much 'new' technology is older than we think - see my blog of yesterday!)

was it at Albert Hall in the late 60s that the Who got bottled off for following Chuck in concert? Mind you the Who ,well half of them ,did a fine Elvis tribute song Real Good Looking Boy in their great live show at Swansea FC last year
