But for me the highlight was He dreamed of machines, I just love hearing Neil talking over their music. Juliet Stevenson was great, but Neil is perfect. They HAVE to release A man from the future soon...
I do wonder if A Man From the Future will ever see the light of day... A great shame if it does not.

What an amazing concert. Like many others I was moved to tears several times during the show. I arrived back home in Denmark a few hours ago and when I listen to some of the recordings made by other Petheads around the auditorium my eyes burst in tears of joy all over again. After 25 years of being a fan this was the concert I waited years to attend. A dream come true to finally hear It couldn't happen here live with a full orchestra. Highlights for me was Tonight is forever, This must be the place I waited years to leave, The survivors, Breathing space, Later tonight, Jealousy, Indefinite leave to remain and of course It couldn't happen here. I feel very privileged that I had the opportunity to experience this special show.

Yip.. Totally agree.

No veggie options either! Frankly ridiculous.

Anyway they did rustle something up two teeny dishes and brought us soft drinks but it was a bit awkward for us and the lady who helped us out.

Seriously... it is 2017.
you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional

Yeah...we were blessed with a coke and an apple juice... heady times indeed!

Perhaps the double whammy of being both teetotal and vegetarian may have got the sympathy going. Sorry you didn't get anything.

I did query why there were no soft drinks and the lady I spoke with said something about this being a "lower tier" of VIP package. Soft drinks available for those that pay even more.
I was a bit shocked and dumbfounded to be honest. She suggested that I give them feedback after the event

What the heck do those that drive in do? One alcoholic drink and they are done?

Lower tier at £200??!!,i didn't want vip tickets but that was all that was available when they first went on sale.

Rest assured i will be giving feedback!

Yeah, shame, I hope they get re-upped.
I *knew* I should have downloaded those the minute I saw them. Didn't expect them to disappear after only one day.

Neil said they will continue to work on it in 2018.

Looks like the whole show is here. Grab it while you can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CopKDEwvKjg

Ah, they're both the same recording! Good it's here.
