17.6.08 - Barcelona
The crew is running entirely on espresso today. I sneak along to the press conference in a nearby swanky hotel. When we get to the rather impressive and imposing foyer, there is a gent in a suit at a grand piano playing a lounge jazz version of Trouble. Given my level of sleep deprivation, it seems wonderfully twisted. Lord only knows how the band manage to be so affable and approachable throughout. The wit and good humour flows and soon the press conference is done. Just a gig to do and a flight back to London. See you at the BBC!

We will miss Luciano Pavarotti a lot. Listen to him sing “Caruso”. It’s unbelievable.

Vinyl Rules Ok!
Having your music on vinyl makes it seem
a) Better
and
b) Much better
Plus, if you have seen ‘Shaun of the Dead’, this will come in handy if zombies ever attack.

We started huddling around one microphone on the balcony in the middle of the set.
We sang ‘Til Kingdom Come’ and ‘Love Me Tender’. It’s hard to imagine that records used to be recorded this way!!
