Great reviews everyone. Can't wait for the DVD/CD to see and hear the gig in all it's glory. Gutted that I didn't get tickets but can't be lucky every time. Pleased a few other forum members got to enjoy what sounds like a very special night.

Glad you lucky people had such a great experience. just came across the news about the cd/dvd set, so can't wait to get that.

On BBC TV from Saturday night at midnight. Press red on an BBC channel to view it.

The box set is also now available to pre-order at £20. I just ordered mine!

A general e-mail about it being on TV/radio and pre-ordering.

I know it is possible to Sky+ content that is shown behind the red button on BBC channels, does any one know how?

Subject: Re: Radio 2 giveaway Fri 30 Jan 2009, 20:26

I pre-ordered! All that "strictly limited" stuff was worrying me... should I feel secure I will have my hands on one now?

Can't wait for tomorrow!

Subject: Re: Radio 2 giveaway Fri 30 Jan 2009, 22:11

i got the email about the box, it looks lovely.

Subject: Re: Radio 2 giveaway Sat 31 Jan 2009, 08:54

Gawd, it does look lovely. But £20! I just bought tickets for Animal Collective... it's too much to be spending!

There's absolutely no need to worry from what I can gather. As long as there was a little + sign when you ordered then there is stock available to order. You ordered before me and it was still there when I ordered just now. Very Happy

Subject: Re: Radio 2 giveaway Sat 31 Jan 2009, 21:10

Just listening now: Oooooh... the recording sounds really clear with added sumptuous orchestra bits.
Gorrrr-juss! Very Happy

Subject: Re: Radio 2 giveaway Sat 31 Jan 2009, 21:20

It's sounding fantastic - I'm really glad I've got a chance to *listen* to it before watching it. Lots of shivering up the spine.

Grounds was indeed awesome!
I'm getting all emotional here.
Fantastic stuff.

Subject: Re: Radio 2 giveaway Sat 31 Jan 2009, 21:26

Yeah, the finale of Grounds....amazing! Cool

The orchestra are earning their keep more and more as it goes on.

Subject: Re: Radio 2 giveaway Sat 31 Jan 2009, 21:27

Yeah, I thought that too, about the listening first.
Now heres one song ,on now, that we havn't heard or seen live ever before...

Subject: Re: Radio 2 giveaway Sat 31 Jan 2009, 21:39

Anybody know if Jote and the rest of "the strings" were in there with the BBC Concert Orchestra?

Subject: Re: Radio 2 giveaway Sat 31 Jan 2009, 21:42

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm sure certain bits that have made me go "woah" and/or well up may not have had the same impact on me had I been watching it.

Plus, you know, not so easy to type and watch telly the same time. ;-)

I'm sure it will be just as fantastic watching.

No, they weren't. Pretty sure all were there as guests though, I spotted one and I'm sure someone earlier in the thread said they saw them.

Didn't think I could love The Seldom Seen Kid any more than I already do. I was wrong.

It must have been strange for the string girls letting someone else takover their bits while they were there watching.

Fnarr, fnarr lol!

I'm sitting here with a drink and my eyes shut creating my own pictures from elbow gigs wot I've been to, and it's bloody brilliant.

You lot are doing a very poor job of getting in my way and poking me in the ribs. Mercifully the girl who always shouts "GUYYYYY!!!!", usually just behing my right ear, isn't here. And I don't know what the neighbours think of my random bursts of "Mantra Luna".

Cheers everyone. Drunk
