	Now, I think I actually have, but it was mainly down to the 
sound of the venue. The Cambridge Junction gig in, er, 2004? with 
Spacehead supporting, Dave's rig was *so* much louder than everythimng 
else that the only way to hear any of the other instruments, even the 
bass, was to be right over the other side of the stage. Unfortunately 
wherever you were the high-range was still full of painful white noise 
and Simon's violin was basically making static because of this. So yeah, 
not Dave's fault, but the performance would have been easier to enjoy if 
he'd *turned it down a bit*.

	That's the only time, mind, and I've lamented the lack of guitar 
much more often. Luckily the band made up for that perofrmance in 
Nottingham the next evening, which was a marvellous gig.

	That, also, was a marvellous gig, though whether we need still 
another retrospective live release just yet is maybe more questionable. 
I'd like it to be out there, sure; but it is, those webcasts don't go 
anywhere as yet. Yours,
