You can post anecdotes here,Kudu.Here's mine- Met in pub opposite train station,got on the train after a couple of pints,another couple of drinks in pub near venue,bought a t-shirt from the merchandise stall,watched the gig and then caught the train back home.

Re: Live Excerpts official fan book
I think you've made the point for the many really,but i suppose there are some with some good stories to tell that either happened on the way or in the gig or on the way home that could be good for the book,i suppose for me there was'nt much to tell like you have said but i do remember the incident with JJ and the band would'nt continue to play on because of the bouncers at the Hammersmith Odeon which was a tale in itself and seeing him jump into the crowd on another ocassion but are they good stories for a book? i dunno.For me i'd be intrested to see just what stories are in there because on the whole for the many like you have said ..not a lot really,you go you see and you leave,but obviously there is enough good ones so it could be a good and intresting read those those who do like that sort of thing with plenty who would'nt,but i actually like the idea and think it could be a good read tbh.
Re: Live Excerpts official fan book
It'll be lots of this but it's all a bit of (self indulgent) fun. Expensive but fun. I did a small bit bout my first gig which made the book. I mostly look forward to unseen photos.Just seen an excerpt posted.Basically - "Me and two mates went to see the Stranglers,we were late for the train and almost missed the gig but borrowed a car to get there".I know it's harmless stuff and people's hearts are in the right place but it's not exactly a riveting read.No offence intended to any contributors.

Re: Live Excerpts official fan book
I worked with Robert Endecott on The Peaches book. I played a very small part he did the bulk of the work but it was the same deal basically. Fan gig reviews and album reviews. What we attempted to do though was make it chronological and Robert painstakingly went through all the bootlegs to quote Hugh's Peaches "I can think of a lot worse places to be like....." Which would be different every night. I selected the photos which at the time were unseen (now they're all over the internet). Even though a lot of effort went into it it was priced reasonably for the fans

Re: Live Excerpts official fan book
Intresting..like you say a lot of effort went into but rewarding hopefully and an important part was i think was unseen photos and it was reasonably priced for the fans,so all round sounded a good buy to me.theraven1979 wrote: ↑27 Sep 2022, 21:03 I worked with Robert Endecott on The Peaches book.

Good memories of your gigs....
Re: Live Excerpts official fan book
Hate to sound like a broken record … but when is the David Boni film coming out????
Re: Live Excerpts official fan book
Yeah Robert Endeacots book was decently priced, and a bit of a first really regarding the fans stories.
Whereas this one ..... get the fans to write it, then pay £75 to read what they've wrote.
