Forever Delayed Tour - Newcastle, 10 Dec 2002

Hi there

if an apology is required for starting a thread for this, and indeed linking to my blog (for those interested) (and note it is not "monetized" or "adsense" stuff, not for profit), but i found something that may be of interest to some.

as i pack up and get ready to move home, i found and had developed the negatives from the disposable camera i sneaked into the gig above. not many pics of the faces in the crowd, but there is this one :



bonus if you recognize yourself or anyone in that - big thanks once again, what, 11 years later, for getting us up close to the front when you found out how far we had come, we didn't even ask or hint but greatly appreciated it!

for those not wanting to go to my blog, this picture is a worry



is it me, or is that a sort of prototype Franny in the middle there? it cannot be the Franny, unless he has mastered time travel. he would have been about 6 or something then, probably wondering about that funny feeling in his pants whenever Posh Spice came on the TV.

if you want to have a look at the 30+ pics, here's the direct link to the blog post

the quality and size are reduced, but if someone wants a larger quality copy of any of them it shouldn't be a problem to sort out.

Perhaps Franny is a vampire?

in my experience he gets very nervous about strange men asking him about sucking, but it could have just been the drugs i suppose.

I'm impressed with his nose, that's a fine nose the man has.

Great tour, well remembered for being the last proper one they did as a three-piece (excluding Naysmith and Haver that is). Great setlists too, having Revol and Slash & Burn re-appear after 8 years must've been amazing for the older fans.
