Looking at this, it seems that PSB played Opportunities, Rent and Flamboyant live on XFM in 2004. Did anyone hear these, or even better, record them?

mail/pm me!

I have the mp3s!

[Tom Angel]

You are all stars. THANK YOU x

I have the XFM performance on mp3 too. Rent rules in that electro version.

I've waited a long time to hear these, amazing. The opportunities is great, although always liked the piano bit. And yes, the rent version is great, its how I imagine it sounded before Stephen Hague got his hands on it (which is better, but its still a very cool, and refreshingly different version..

I was listening to these again tonight. It's really ashame that Neil's voice was so poor when these were recorded as the backing tracks are great. Possibly still available here: http://www.xfm.co.uk/article.asp?id=16076

This gig really should be released. I'd love to hear Nervously - had forgotten they played that. And was the version of I'm Not Scared truncated?
Did anyone on here actually go to this gig?

Yeah I attended the Barfly gig, good night indeed.

[York Minster]

What was the full tracklist?

[pjenglish]

Hi, any chance someone can let me have the mp3's of the XFM session ... always wondered if these were available in some downloadable form. I really like the electro version of Rent. Saying that ... I also liked the Fundamental tour version.

Cheers.

for the record:

xfm = barfly! The ones played in that medley at the Barfly, are the very same (4 tracks), they played on Radio X FM. There are no recordings of the ENTIRE Barfly gig around - means: nobody was lucky enough to record the show!
