Radio 2 in the Park Preston

They should do a live version of Party in the blitz but change it to Party in the park

And they can mash it up with Jack and Jill party!

This would be good to see in 2025…

"Neil" looks like he's about to launch a career in stand-up comedy!

It was more like Party in The Battle of Passchendaele!!!

I really enjoyed watching this on TV. It was much better shot than Glastonbury, and while I like the Copenhagen concert film, I appreciate how this broadcast focussed mainly on the spectacular production rather than the audience. A lot of it was framed beautifully.

It's also a slightly different sound mix. It arguably isn't the best, it's lacking in bass, but I appreciate having a different one, even though I've seen Dreamworld multiple times I still heard things I hadn't heard before... most notably in 'Can you forgive her?', after "If she begs you too" there is a descending three-note motif which is new to me. There are also some sounds in 'Heart' I didn't realise were there.

I'm looking forward to the Blu-ray of Copenhagen even more now, hoping for a really good sound mix, with CDs.

Perhaps not surprising given the presumed state of said audience in the Biblical downpour throughout!

Excuse me, those bin bags REALLY suited me

I salute you - you all deserve a medal!

I think some songs were missing some of the audio tracks in the BBC coverage. 'Paninaro', me at noticeably, which was missing those feedbacked guitar samples, the stringed chords and the French horn notes.

It was a Bilingual downpour - people were wet in two languages. Probably more.

OOOH, YOU SAVAGE!! Somehow, I think Neil's retirement is secured.

Watched it on the iPlayer last night, stunning visuals and the boys were on top form, hopefully it will appear on Youtube soon...

Apparently some of the vendors didn't get their stuff out until Wednesday.
You can see the remnants of the lake we had to wade through to exit the venue.

Might work well on a mug, this...

I’m trying to find the interview that Neil and Chris did on the day of the Preston show, presumably with Radio 2. It’s not part of the TV recording. Anyone any ideas?
