DVD arrived today. Family viewing Friday evening when we will all be together. Will follow noted instructions with maybe the addition of an open fire if this chill keeps up. It'll probably be red or white rather than brown tho'. And Fairport at Tunbridge Wells on Saturday. What a weekend!  |

I'm hono(u)red that Mr. Nicol his ownself (Texas usage) responded to my technical questions.
My Teevee (Texas spelling) can't handle PAL signals, so I'll place my order and wait patiently for the NTSC version to arrive.
355 days and 12 hours until the end of the current administration, but who's counting?

We don't stand on ceremony round here. (His P.A. must have been busy.) Welcome, by the way.  |

Is it NTSC or PAL?
I suppose you all know that the US adopted NTSC for many reasons: the 60Hz ac current for one and the rush to go into colo(u)r amongst them. There is no truth to the scandalous calumny it's an acronym for "Never The Same Colour"....
In real life, I work here in the TV/Video industry...trust me, "Never Twice the Same Color" is entirely apt. |

Mine arrived today. Not been able to see it straight through, but what I have seen is just fabuloous!!!. I've laughed, sung, danced and yes, cried over it.
I hope to watch it without interuption very soon and then I will try write somewthing more constructive. But so far it's just great.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, though it could of course have been better for the reasons already stated. Worth £20 ? Every penny, to me at least. Would I recommend it ? Unreservedly.

Watched it yesterday and a most excellent couple of hours it was. Yes of course there are things that are not on it - as I remember it, the event was 3 days long! But it brings back the memories of a great weekend with great music and great people.
Many thanks to all those who contributed to the making of it.
Chris

Great!! Substitute glass of wine (as on field) and a thoroughly enjoyable evening - I may repeat highlights tonight (and the DVD!) Did get a bit tearful with the opening set, I just wanted to be back in the sunshine! Such lovely memories.  BTW Is it just me, but when I see photos or film of Cropredies gone by, I'm always convinced I'm just out of shot, I feel as if I recognise everyone, and yet somehow they missed me? |

Color, brother, color. ...and "Never Twice the Same Color" is as true today as ever was.... Last time I corrected someone on spelling/usage I got this; Don’t pick on people for their spelling, grammar or use of English. We prefer to hear what people say and are not bothered about how they say it. http://www.talkawhile.co.uk/faq/index.htmAnyway he said "there is no truth to the scandalous calumny it's an acronym for "Never The Same Colour"....", are you telling him that he has misspelled something completely imaginary? Plus the fact that he's Simon Nicol of course. |

Think Andy may have been highlighting the difference between British and American spelling and not Mr Nicol's ability to use words................(which we all know is legendary!) |
