I’d love to hear how it went. How about a report?

And, by the way, why the sidelong pop at Cropredy at the end of the post? What have you got against it?

There’s a lot of these about:

In the first year at secondary school, some trendy teacher asked us to think of our own mnemonics for ROYGBIV. One lad came up with Rip Off Your Girdle Because I’m Vulgar. Still makes me chuckle.

And it’s an […]

I’m inclined to suggest that everyone involved in the making of that version is more musically talented than Mark Ronson.

It is possible to do a good cover of this song. Here’s one…

Me too. My true top ten might well only contain Beatles and Dylan albums.

As, of course, do all right-thinking people.

1 – All Things Must Pass – George Harrison
2 – Blood On The Tracks – Bob Dylan
3 – The Beatles – The Beatles
4 – A Farewell To Kings – Rush
5 – Foxtrot – Genesis
6 – Liege & Lief – Fairport Convention […]

Minor correction. You could do worse than buy Seconds Out (which came out after W&W and Spot The Pigeon). That has always been one of my favourite live albums by anybody. Though I do wish that it included more […]

I have enjoyed the last few Steve Hackett shows as much as any gigs I’ve seen in the last few years. That includes the last few Musical Box tours which I’ve also enjoyed but not as much. Hackett’s band has been […]

I think W&W is a reasonable entry point. I hope you like it. But if you do and are tempted to make more purchases, for heaven’s sake work backwards from it rather than forwards!

That’s a fascinating point. Maybe someone should start one. You’d have to find a guitarist with a very thick skin to tolerate the chorus of boos every time he played his version of the Firth of Fifth solo. I […]

Possibly more importantly, it strikes me that Wot Gorilla isn’t prog. And that’s a key point. Or do Afterworders disagree? Perhaps we should have a vote…

I defer to your superior knowledge on this. But I shall cling to my own (and probably Steve Hackett’s) preferred version that it was because Wot Gorilla isn’t really much good.

What is even more puzzling to me is that they put it on Wind and Wuthering when they had Inside And Out available as an alternative. I have the impression that Steve Hackett felt the same way at the time.

Sorry for not replying before. I’ve been away. @Mike_H is spot on.

I have always thought that there was a very good reason why Genesis never played Wot Gorilla live…

It’s possible (likely!) that no-one is interested but I thought I’d update on my latest progress.

Having established that VLC (but not other apps) would play all the tracks that I had dumped onto the SD card on […]

Yeah. I only chose MediaMonkey over VLC because someone recommended it in response to my previous cry for help. VLC is clearly absolutely fine. Amazing how solving problems like this (or having someone do so […]

Well I read it all and I’m very happy that @fentonsteve‘s suggestion has solved my problem. But thanks for taking the time and trouble to reply.
