I was here too! This was the best song of the concert. I can't believe we gave him an standing ovation in the middle of his set! But holy crap what a great cover.

Thanks for posting this, I was hoping someone had recorded that song!

[amyjwatson]

nope, wasn't me. they didn't even catch me filming any of the videos i actually got, thank god! i saw a girl in front of me try to film very blatantly, with her camera held out in front of her on the ledge...they totally caught her and she was like "what?!" as if she had no idea you weren't supposed to film. hahaha!

[ludovicotech]

are you the girl they kept trying to kick out? i was first balcony just off to the right a bit. you got a great video anyway!

[Jeribhan]

I couldn't agree more amyjwatson, great videos. Glen always puts in a performance, as if it's his last night on earth. I remember him getting disillusioned at one stage years ago(record companys etc) but he kept plugging away, started doing lots of little solo gigs to self finance The Frames For The Birds album and its independent release, when it was released it gave him the push to keep going as he now knew you can keep making music without record companys. He simply never gave up,thank god!
