the blatant, honest and allow me, untamed proof that the ONLY freethinking in this prison planet was a MADE IN UK feature, call it attitude, and it was a resident energy in those years. In the now sinking into the marsh ground of pcorrect, this present reality seems to me a sloppy copy of the worst pages of Huxley and his comrades.
Great to put faces and voices to the names I had seen so many, many times in the Credits boxes in each issue. Now I’m in my late fifties, yet still look back on how formative 2000AD was in my youth and into adulthood. If I could do it all over, would loved to have walked in to the 2000AD offices and said “Give us a job!” Working with such creative artists and writers, finding their way and their footing, and fighting ‘the establishment’ in all its forms. Loved “Rogue Trooper” and “Slaine”, but looking back, “Halo Jones” and “Skizz” were so impactful and before their time. Thanks for posting, and giving me a window into the stories behind the stories I grew up with
@@TheMonkeyhanger previous shows didnt have this issue. it seemed to me the band wanted to play their songs heavier than before,. not sure if this is due to the new band member
I don’t agree with what Mills says about the strips. My mate Stuart introduced me to 2000 AD at around Prog 7 and we both fell for Dredd immediately. I didn’t even remember Mach 1. Other favourites were Flesh, Harlem Heroes and the Future Shocks, the latter of which were, by their nature, a bit hit and miss but could be very, very good. But it seemed obvious to me, as a naive twelve-year-old, that Dredd was the real star. Or at least, that’s how I remember it now… Sadly my very large collection was thrown out a few years ago: how I wish I could go back in time and have a word with my twenty-six-year-old self!
Thanks for uploading, a great tour of the whole show. Reminds me that I did not spend nearly enough time in the traders room. Looked like it was packed with goodies
Glad to be of help and let you see how enjoyable it is. Many hear about certain conventions and the chance of attending some are nigh on an impossibility for many, due to distance and other things.
Couldn’t agree more and thanks for the upload.Just seen them at the Beaverwood Club Chislehurst and uploaded my videos today. Sadly only a handful of people there.
I saw that they were playing there and it looks like a decent location. I'll have a look at your videos later! As for the size of the audience, yeah, it was the same for us. Just wish more people had thought about coming along, as they were excellent and deserved a bigger crowd to enjoy the songs and showmanship on display.
@@TheMonkeyhanger sadly most of these small clubs make more money from tribute acts. Beaverwood regularly pull in 100 to 250 for a tribute act but a good original act is doing well if they get 70. There was less than 30 tickets sold for Beaux Gris Gris.
Thanks for sharing - shows a glimpse of how much work the SD film really was! I see it's coming on 200K views too, good on it. Deserves much more though!
Since it’s unlikely that I’ll make it over there in the near future, I really appreciate you putting this together. I’m shocked by how many of the people on camera I know, or know of! It looks like an excellent time, certainly more laid back than the ones here in Los Angeles.
@@maskrado it's very simple, I didn't know how to get the footage off the GoPro and so just ignored it. This week I decided to figure it out and 3 days later, voila!
Nice one John! I was there too and I'm glad you got this filmed because I was thinking about doing the same but was too into it to hold my phone up! I was extremely impressed with the band and cannot wait to see them again. Thanks (to you and the band of course!)
I always try to film one song at least, just so I've got something to remember the night with. The CD's are currently on permanent play in the car now as well.
