I know it has been asked before but i can;t find the thread  :'( :-[
what version is the one that is used in the cropredy sound check?
Thanks, Olly.

Happiest Days Of Our Lives (helicopter) the last two years IIRC.  Disc 1 The Wall.  They often use that, & Brick Pt 3 (or was it 2, and 1 ::))

It ruins the entire morning that ******g Cropredy soundcheck.

If I wanted to listen to Pink Bloody Floyd playing Brick In The Bloody Wall I'd have got myself sectioned. I wouldn't have driven to Oxfordshire at all!

I hate Thursday mornings at Cropredy.

Oh dear Cocker   :(  You're getting agitated  :o

Calm down now - plenty of big breaths.  ;) that's what you need

You are so right, Mr. Freeman. A friend of mine opens his tent every Thursday morning at Cropredy, shouting "SHUT UP!!!" to the stage.

Nah. Luvvit.

being there on the wednesday night - when they are setting the PA up - it is just a whole different spectacle of music - so crisp, so loud, such punchy bass it is brutal! Listerning to it now it sounds compleatly different :( ::)

Time for a new hifi ?  Or some serious monitors & sub ?  Or even a small PA at home ?  Try SR Technology http://www.srtechnology.co.uk/club/club.html I was totally amazed by the sound quality of these things, even without a sub, the helicopter will repeatedly kick you in the chest.  Keep an eye on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330178726389&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014 I'd have had those for home monitoring had I any money, absolute bargain for £74!  I've a Jam 150 and often put music through it instead of the monitors when I want serious dynamics & bass to break stuff with.

Thatth the latht thing he needth if he ith getting agitated......

Calm down, it's only a commercial!

Me too - I camp with the FC List Convoy (sorry if that's considered swearing here!) and we usually end up on field 2, the music on Thursday morning is a great accompaniment to the post errection Pimms session  ::)

Can't see why you'd think this board hostile to the FC list - Wendy and I were but two of many TAW'ers in the convoy and indeed on field 2.

And this year, considering thr proximity of the tents, a very friendly field 2 it was, as well. ;D

I love it too. It's the start of Cropredy for me - after the anxiety of getting to the convoy (sorry) on time and getting the tent pitched etc.

I love way you can feel it.  ;D  ;D

(Pimms? no one invited me!  ;) )

Thanks for that Cocker. I needed a good laugh. Cheered me right up that has. ;D ;D

One doesn't need an invite, one only needs to bring an empty glass. ;)

Janey and I (amongst many others) make sure there's enough pimms to go around, though this year I did forget the ice... Oh the shame.  :-[

As for the sound check, I find it gets me in to the Cropredy mood. Good friends, good booze, and good music - what else do you need?

Paul

Just checking :) as it happens I doubt this board is hostile to anything - a jolly nice bunch the lot of you ;)

Or mug, or tankard, or bucket......

When a was driving into Cropredy the other week they were putting in new curbstones and the walls on the way out still had bricks missing from them.

Or am just confused.

Seriously surely if they were sound checking with something more ephemeral there would be a genuine reason for complaint. Although I quite like Genuwine.

 

Yeah, well, my Cropredy mood is to be sat in a chair, nice and quiet with a cup of coffee and a woodbine.

I don't need some sophistry on educational principles delivered at thirteen million decibels at nine in the morning, thank you very much. Blimey, Pink Floyd! Musical motto: why use a shovel when a bull-dozer will do.

Scares the rabbits. No, what we want is marching music.

Well after the heart thumping 'will I make it to field 2 before the convoy', and 'why is the beer always under everything else' and the tent pegs are finally in, I love to pound along to the Wall. Then gradually start to chill...

Saucy trinket  :D

I had ice  :-X  and I was camped next to stage 2. You only had to ask  ;)  

I was in the right place for the scotch though.  ;D  I'll repay it next year  ;)

The only thing that shocked me here was the frank mention of when you drink the Pimm's!  :o

I was responsible for the errection too :)

But what about the erection?

it slowly faded away :o

That's what happens when you drink too much Pimms ;) Though thankfully mine stayed solid all weekend :)

 ;D ;D ;D ;D  

You need a strong arm and a sense of purpose.
