STEWART COPELAND

Hi folks,

the new Gizmodrome album makes me really excited (not to forget the instrumentals EP).

In 2005 I had the privilege to join the "Italian team" for two shows in Italy:
July 6 in Portoferraio (on the beautiful island of Elba) and
July 8 in Rome

You can download my recordings of these shows here:

Enjoy,
Rüdiger

Thank you very much for sharing these great great recordings !!!!
It seems like a glimpse of Gizmodrome's roots and it is very interesting.

In this interview Stewart mentions the famous "Hello Cleveland" moment at the start of the little Italian tour 2005 in Portoferraio... (not Portofino!)

Well, I should have tons of videos f those days, as Eugenio and I filmed everything! One day I will open my vault and transfer everything into digital so that I can share all this stuff with you, something like at least 5 or 6 hours of footage, from backstage to rehearsals, from the press conference to the show, and aftershow.

Like this one (backstage in Rome):

Sure, that was for Computer Magazine, I just needed to put on words what Stewart told me, and the image gets darker minute by minute. Most of the other videos have a good quality image.

You are a true gentleman. Too Kool to Kalypso is a speshul song for me, I love it oh so much.

Love it enough to figure out whatever chords the guitar is playing is irrelevant, since the mood/key is dictated by the bassline.

Interesting....... in the last 2 days I had a dream that someone here shared a live set (very much like this one), with one of those tracks being a live performance of Ice Pick Love. I JUST remembered.

Crazy, huh?

Interesting... Does Everyone Stare, at 2:37 there is half a second of pure silence.

Those were the days of my minidisc recorder...probably a little gap on one of the discs.
That's why I changed to an Edirol some years later (and no disc changing anymore, of course).

Good, I was afraid I got a bad download.
