[Midnight Oil]

As an aside, I heard that the Spectrum is going to be torn down and
rebuilt... 

I work a stone's throw away from it, and when ever I walk by the parking
lot, I stare at the rear entrance, wondering why the hell I didn't think
to walk around back and meet the band instead of moping out front that
night in Oct 2001!

Well mates,

I for one think it is FANTASTIC.  Mucho kudos to all involved in the 
project, very well done.  I think packaging together the contrasting 
ambiences of the more-relaxed Goat Island and raw tense energy of 
Capitol Theatre concerts was brilliant, they play off each other very 
well.  The Goat Island CD never leaves my CD player - car or home, it's 
a playlist unto itself in my iPod, and the DVD's getting a good 
workout...sometimes in the PAL-compatible DVD player I bought especially

for this (the damn player sucks though, it often "pauses" itself 
spontaneously right in the middle of a song)...and more often in my 
laptop.  Since the CD drive in my laptop recently bit the big one, I had

to make a disc image of the DVD and ethernet the whole thing into the 
HD, which takes almost all the remaining space up, but well worth it.  

My only wish (ok, two) was that first,  I wish they had played Maralinga

instead of Harrisburg at Goat Island....that would have been absolutely 
*exquisite*  - and that #2, would have been great to have a 
double-CD/DVD set with Capitol Theatre on the other CD.  But I'm not 
complaining!  Will definitely pick up the NTSC version as well when it's

released.

Probably way too soon to ask, but might there be more DVD's in the 
works...at least at the hypothesis stage?  Would be cool to have a 
fold-out poster in the next one too.  Wouldn't mind having Montreal 
Spectrum 1985 on CD/DVD...or at least the mp3 of "Sleep"....anybody got
it?

Again, fab job.  You certainly have my appreciation -

Cheers,
Rhonda
