Hi! Does anyone know what about the Verona-records? There is nothing from Verona on the New Blood items...

This is my biggest regret: that we don't have a proper recording of SMB live... As much as I love the current tour and its live recordings (and boy do I love it!), the real shock which is engraved in my memory is that first part... I don't know what's possible. I completely understand the reluctance to release something that doesn't pass the bar for a general public release; yet I'm *dreaming* of something like one Encore, even with all the imperfections that it implies... Reminic, dreaming aloud... Am I alone?

Don't think you are Reminic - there have lots of comments about Verona and other gigs. Would love to hear a live version since I missed the SMB tour. Plus we love to hear the imperfections - PG obviously doesn't! Would love to hear the Hammersmith gigs with all their restarts - complete with PG's comments.

I also regret that the Verona concert was shelved. SMB live inits entirety was intense.
