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; "Its just another
show". Its easy to loose the flow of a tour and
get tense before the recording of a show. Its 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 its 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.
