Mmh. I've got Throw Your Arms Around Me and a wee bit of Gentle Hum close up, but the quality isn't very good. I missed Private Universe, Faster Than Light, Last Day Of June, Leaps & Bounds and Mean To Me.

Thanks autodidact, awesome footage. I'll be up all night now.

Hello Vicarious it's the teacher from the queue!

Julia and I have now made facebook contact - I was thrilled to bits for her and can only begin to imagine how chuffed you must have been! Serendipitous! It was wonderful to see how genuinely happy Neil was when singing with Julia. Moments like that must make it for him as much as for the audience.

Lucky, lucky girl - but couldn't have happened to a better person! Good for her.

See you in Oxford

Hello Rachel, teacher from the queue! Thanks for all your kind words. The day after the gig, in the Music lesson at Julia's school the very indulgent teacher had the class all watching her on YouTube on the projected computer screen. This experience has been catastrophic for homework, and she'll only get back down to earth if and when she wants to.

I love this thread: it keeps that magical evening alive, and I shall miss it when it all dies down - but think of the work I shall be able to get on with again I've also rather hogged this topic so I think I'll lay off now, and thank you all for your indulgence

Another excellent and detailed account of the evening.

Was that you, Tab?

Wow. Thanks to everyone for sharing videos and comments! A big thanks to Neil for his generosity in allowing his music to reach the masses all over the world.

Oh I wish it were Half-Full...it does sound like me hey

Thankyou jeran for sharing your clips,much appreciated I'm not sure how to change the screen size as that is exactly the kind of thing that happens to me and I just have to keep pushing buttons until it gets bigger...I know nothing about taking video I'm sorry

oooooh and thankyou for posting the article Vee very much looking forward to reading when the computer behaves long enough

ok...the only song NOT on youtube, as far as I can tell is "Wherever You Are"

I got a bit excited for a sec seeing it linked on this page, but it's gone.

C'mon guys--anyone got Wherever You are--even just a wee snippet..and then there you go, the whole show can be seen

It was the "dyed your hair specially" part that made me think of you LOL!

If it were in AUS, it DEFINITELY would have been you

great work martine - thanks forall your effort =)

it was entirely my pleasure (and gave me something to do between loads of laundry yesterday afternoon!)

Yes, thank you very much, Martine. Much appreciated!

I've been enjoying the Youtube clips a lot, and the 3 new songs he performed sound great. Anyone else think Amsterdam sounds a little Neil Young? I had Old Man stuck in my head all day, and finally I realized why when I listened to Amsterdam again tonight.

curious that there was nothing from TOE....maybe Neil wanted to shift entirely away from that, played them enough in the past couple of years. Or maybe they don't belong in this class of songs? What are your thoughts?

Perhaps 'Nobody Wants To' hear those songs anymore??!

I think the show was largely request-driven. He wasn't going to leave DDIO out and kicked off with Private Universe (i.e. his choice and in set list). Walking On The Spot was a request certainly. Be interesting to compare Neil's intended set list with what actually got played.
