Elena, you must have been in clouds in Prague. The drummer was there, of course... 8) I have a picture to prove that. BTW, I think he plays for real, 'cause why would he otherwise rehearse in Valencia?

As suggested that it might be Pete Gleadall, it can´t be.

Why pay a guy to mime when he may as well play live then??

Go West on the Live 8 DVD doesn't sound very good to me... :roll:

I think he is playing. But not _all_ of the drums, some are recorded.

Can't remember that in Liverpool either! Maybe I was singing/dancing too much to notice. Neil did sound bloody good too it has to be said.

drums don't have to be miked if they're electronic... maybe. drum pads and bass drum could have been just midi controllers with electronic hi-hats.

He was miming, just like the bass-player.

Miming bass, miming drums, why bother? Seriously?

Surely Pete Gleadall is capable of playing the bass and the drummer is a drummer, so if they are miming, then what else do they contribute to the tour? I know what Pete Gleadall does so I am assuming the drummer must be his assistant on the keyboards and programming, like he had on the Release tour.

"Bez"from the Happy Mondays springs to mind.
