Bat For Lashes - Glass (not all of it) - The Ritz (Manchester 07-04-2009)

Presenting the opening track and set opener to "Two Suns". Unfortunately, I didn't get all of it, or indeed any other footage, thanks to the fat lump of a security man at the front ordering me to stop filming.

So, an appeal. If you were at this gig, and you have footage, please please PLEASE reply with video responses. It would be nice to have some visual reminders of what was a great night!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand you can get real bargains on hearing aids these days-check it out

This is live-there are details on the CD you do not hear at this performance

GLASS and her performance are ripe

I wish peeple who take vids of shows would allow for bass distortion-and set up accordingly (I dont know dont have one) Further back then zoom-

still, good footage

Ummm, most people who take vids at gigs are just fans, not professionals.

And not every device allows you to control bass distortion. But as you say, you don't have one, so how would you know?

[undulator2000]

this band is really over-hyped for a girl singing to a CD track

[eclectica1]

There was no miming or singing to a backing track. That's a bit harsh.

"No flash, no flash" shouting during this beautiful intro, baaadd guy!!

[testcardgirl26]

thank u, thank u , thank u...I love this songgg, the whole album..is the soundtrack of my life these days..:D!

[eclectica1]

You're correct, it was the same guy. I'm not normally a violent person, but I really wanted to punch him.

Just in case there's any confusion about the display order of my last 2 comments, think I should point out I was replying respectively to disagree with the anti-B4L comment by undulator2000; and to mostly agree with (whilst also suggesting a correction to) a pro-B4L comment by gennx30.

[TheReplenishingFlame]

As a fellow B4L fan (though nothing like as creative as you in your postings), and as a Brit, I appreciate the generosity of your sentiments here & mostly agree. Just think I should respectfully point out however that the noisy culprits in this vid were probably not your countrymen but Brits (this was Manchester); and that bloke's actually shouting in perhaps a Scots accent "No flash!" (as in photography...probably the same "fat lump of a security man" who stopped eclectica1 filming any further.

[TheReplenishingFlame]

You've obviously never seen them live: B4L & her current touring band are so good one might almost be forgiven for thinking they were just miming, except that their live arrangements are usually at least slightly (and often considerably) different from, and almost always even better than the album versions. So, they're under-hyped if anything! Not that you probably care

jeezuz gawd no wonder the world thinks americans are rude selfish dolts-she is obviously trying to start the mood of her magical song -and they jabber, crack jokes-talk on cells and yell "Flush!" (the loo instructions are much info btw)

F*ck-go home and watch AMERICAN IDOL until your IQ moves down into negative territory (dont worry-you can always get a GED)-and talk all ya want

[gennx30]

didnt really mean to diss

IT is frustrating to have a great vid-then mildly to severely distorted sound

but as I said-I dont know the ins and out and am gratfull
