Drove to Cardiff with Warren for a full on day of
interviews and preparations for the filming of the
concert.
In my diary,
I have had marked in red for weeks; “It’s just another show”.
It’s easy to loose the flow of a tour and get tense before the
recording of a show. It’s called 'red light syndrome'. The
venue held 6000 people and it was full to capacity. Six or
more cameras in all directions and two directly behind me,
very close.
After the interviews, I did some work on the
practice pad and had a cat-nap, something I have been blessed
with being able to do. It can freak the boys out sometimes as
I can be asleep 10 minutes before a gig. “The drummer's
asleep!” I can hear Bruce shout but after all these years it’s
all in good humour and he knows how I work.
Yes of
course we were a little nervous at the thought of making
mistakes for posterity but we where recording onto a system
called Pro-Tools and any clangers would be easy to fix. The
evening was a triumph. The director was happy and we will get
to see a rough assembly of it before Hank flies
home.
We are all
very happy that our last time together will be on
film.
