DVD is a great memory of the GIG, great footage of a fantastic spontaneous night,the musicianship of all is outstanding together with the early footage of the events that were a big part of the Bridgehouse history,everybody should have a copy to remind people of what live music is about,top effort.

[TerryMurphy]

THANKS Rob,its great for me to see all the old footage,but being very honest,i thought the gig was outstanding,its was like a contest Remus D boulivard verses
FILTHY McNasty,Chis Thompsons band at the Bridge and they just pushed each other ,to get the highest Notes on guitar and vocals.and boy  how hard they worked,sweat pouring of of the faces.i am so glad we have this on dvd,otherwise people would not believe it,the battle of the titans comes to mind.
or should we say battle of the Bridge house,we have sold quit a few of the dvds ,we will wait a while then perhaps we can have a voting to find out what the overall,verdict is. My vote,as father of Darren (wasted youth)and Glen(Jab and Move) A DRAW, YES I am sitting on the fence,thats what fathers do.
regards Terry M.

[TerryMurphy]

,Thanks Rob,we can all have our oppionions but as you say its thoes times at the Bridge that really matter,old saying of mine ,we know the past but not the future,traveling down barking Rd yesterday saw you standing out side your office with another guy dark in appearence ,and this must have been spot on the time you were sending this post to me 2.35 you sent ,so this must have been you breath air treat after sending to me,i did hooter up but the road was busy,sorry i could not stop.was late for a meeting,but will see you soon Terry.M

I note that the running time for the dvd is 80 mins but how long do RDB feature? 

[TerryMurphy]

good question Ron,I wonder if any one out there who have the dvd can tell us,we have R.D.B.opening the show,then Chris Thompson joins them on stage for more numbers ,then he does a few SoloS. Wasted Youth 2 song  Charlie and Harry,and Jealousy,Glen with the Repton Boxing club ,single Jab N Move then there is R.B.D playng over some of the credits and back groung music.some interviews and shots of the book launch and all the bridge house loyalsThen R.D.B.closing the show,after getting me up on stage, at a guess,i would say in total there is at least  60 minutes of music.for me the old landlord, it was great to see inside the old bridge house again,and seeing the old and last stage,that so many wonderful bands  played on for me.T.M

That's what happens when you're out of the forum for quite sometime... A new Bridgehouse DVD! I thought it has footage with the NEW RDB playing on stage. But God, that's old stuff from 1982...
