TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Nov. 12 2005, 07:59 There is quite a lot of footage of the audience featured in the Exposed dvd LIVE concert. I was wondering if anyone has spotted themselves, and if you have, describe yourself and the moment you can be spotted. I especially would like to know who the enthusiastic young man with the dark hair standing in the front row next to the man in the suit is. He is having a ball! And yes Mike does look and behave quite silly sometimes, especially during 'Guilty', although not as bad as another live performance I have seen of this song. And whats the story with all the crotch shots. I'm surprised any of those men had children with those tight jeans!! And the hairdos, eeek!! But, very enjoyable footage, good to hear a different version of TB and Incantations was just brilliant. Is this the exact same music that is on the Exposed cd? Only watched it once so off to watch it again, ciao, Tracy. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

That has been radically changing, though. An increasing number of the "less young" far older than Mike have wandered online in recent years. Studies suggest that women and men use the Internet in slightly different ways as do the generations. Purposes will probably equalize and you will see more and more of Mike's age cohort of both genders interacting through forums--maybe even here. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist."

captainjjb Group: Members Posts: 310 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Mar. 09 2007, 16:34 Too old for computers!  Cheeky Monkey!  Well I was at Manchester and used the paper planes too!  To be honest I am shocked to see the footage from London, they look so square!  I was a rocker at the time with Denim top and bottom, and 15 years old and was impressed mostly with Pierres vibe playing and Mike's strange way of playing electric guitar with his RHS fingers (this being the first time I'd ever watched him). I treasure these memories, believe me. Back to top

captainjjb Group: Members Posts: 310 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Mar. 09 2007, 16:50 I wish.  But no, is the short answer.   What Mike tried on that tour was just so so ambitious.  As a 15 year old I thought I'd found my true musical Utopia, the only problem is that no-one has ever done anything quite like it since!  I'm still waiting....

My Dad cracked up when he saw that.He just sat there and said "My god! i rememebr people wearing suits to concerts".I was only 4 when this was filmed and all the gigs i've been to have been jeans and T-shirt jobs.Exposed is a facinating time capsule for late 70's audience fashion. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.

Hey, the question implies negative responses are desired as well as positive yes? T-Belle, how are the Ferrets?

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: June 11 2009, 09:24 That's funny cos on the LP version you can hear the same thing happening at the same time so presumably Mike got 'annoyed' every night of the tour.  Flip side if he will make poly-rhythmic music then the audience is gonna get confused about when to and when not to clap! -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: June 12 2009, 22:31 Yeah--and if I were one of "those," I wonder if I'd want to admit to it, hahaha!  A few years ago I danced to the last 13 minutes or so of Part IV including that section (it was at Imbolc-St. Brigid's Jam), and the folks drumming along with the clapping were perfect--they didn't goof up once, and none of them had ever heard the piece before. But...suppose they had rhythm. (-: Oh, wait--I was sort of leading it all, dancing with zills, so they were probably taking my cue. But still, they were perfect! Mike would've been so proud. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top
