[kj] NMA covers?

[Chris Williamson]

Apologies for the typo ROB!  Cut my crappy fingers off!

 

Don't remember meeting Sacha that day (don't remember alot from those glorious daze) but pretty sure we've met since.  I think I've bored a few people with this story buy nonetheless it was somewhat out of the blue and one I won't forget.

 

Speak soon Jane and give Iain a sloppy X from me!

Thanks for reminding me of that great story Chris, (which I think you shared with us over a pint somewhere a few years ago)... must have been a fun afternoon - and you must have met my friend Sacha too... She was working as NMAs PA in those days, and was probably the one who ran around looking for likely volunteers to stand in as extras...
 
I'll watch the video next week, when back home and on our own PC - youtube is blocked on my work one.

I was sitting in the pub one Saturday afternoon and a mate came in all excited and told me that NMA and Tom Jones were filming on Shepherds Bush Green. I was like " yeah right, good one" and he said "seriously!"  We went down and sure enough there they were filming Gimme Shelter (and there's even a little snippet of me in the video).
 
I met Rod Heaton for the first time that day (RIP Rob)
 
Anyway. For those interested, here it is .......

erm, it was quite a short set, as Sullivan's voice was going - hence Green Onions towards the end as an instrumental - but from my memory there was also:
 
Gotta get out of this place - Animals
In a Rut (chorus only) - Ruts (like they used to do in the encore at festivals)
Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones (duet they did virtually with Tom Jones for the Shelter charity album a few years ago)
51st State - Ashley Cartwright
All day and all of the night - the Kinks (also performed on Sunday by Ray Davies - another Glastonbury highlight - on the pyramid stage)
 
N.B.: Those song titles may not be right, but you get the idea - I think I may have missed 2 or 3.
 
I really enjoyed it anyway - made a refreshing change from the recent set they have been doing.
 
Looking forward to the 30th anniversary tour in the autumn, when I hope a few of these covers, and many of the old songs will be re-aired for the first time in ages...

Hey Jane, thanks for the info - didn't know NMA were playing Glastonbury. I've always liked them, and just did a search for a setlist of the covers show... do you remember any of what they played? Someone on their forum mentioned Summer In The City (Lovin' Spoonful) and Green Onions (Booker T & The MG's), which honestly doesn't excite me too much! Can you remember any others?

Thanks.

T.

In all my years of solid gigging that is a rarity, and one I'll not forget for a while. There were a lot of open mouths amongst my friends - one nearly dropped her falafel, and I was so pleased I hadn't heard that particular rumour in advance.

> 

> I love Muse anyway - have done for years, and as always, they'd already not disappointed me with a blinding show - that Edge moment though, was just the icing on the cake... I've never watched Muse on TV, and I don't as a rule like big gigs, but they really do own the stage and overwhelm any audience when you are there...

> Great weekend - also enjoyed Stranglers, 2 NMA sets (including 1 soley of covers), Neville Staples, the Beat, Gang of Four, Nouvelle Vague, Ade Edmondson's band, Slash - surprisingly, Alabama 3, and probably a few others which have slipped my mind right now...
