Not nearly as strong as previous shows, but then I'm judging this from the DVDs. This was the first time I'd seen him in person. Perhaps we were seeing the early work-in-progress. Before it becomes properly bedded down. Before it reaches the DVD-ready plateau of sell-through performance standards. I did enjoy the Richard 'The Hamster' Hammond - he's not a real hamster - routine. Lee has a knack of picking on all the right people in my view. Hope the tour is archived to video though, I'd like what changes are made. As with you Chris, it was an enjoyable show nonetheless. I was hoping to badger him into an impromptu interview on the day, for this site, but it wasn't to be - my fault. I think he would be an interesting person to talk to. Re. The Peel videos. I'm aware I should be getting on with it. I just need to get around to becoming acquainted with the Gordian Knot software. Plus I still need to hunt down various episodes within the VHS mountain. Thanks for the reminder though Chris. It certainly does help to have someone nudge me back into action. :) Sadly I’m in agreement with regard to Stewart Lee’s latest tour.

I think the only programs I remember seeing we're some of the sounds of the suburbs series, even those I only caught randomly in the early hours. I bought a prehistoric box with two handfuls of wires in order to convert a bunch of old videos, running them on the antique video player, through the wires into my computer via this box and into a program called Roxio myDVD. It did work to be fair the box required the occasional tap as it would sometimes loose signal. Progress. Hope you enjoyed the Stewart Lee gig. I caught the Birmingham show, enjoyed it a lot, but I did feel it lacked a kind of point. Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing any Peels vids.
