"I think its ace that 'Welcome The Cheap Seats' has been released on DVD. My VHS copy that I bought when it first came out in the early 90's is absolutely knackered. I bought my new DVD copy off amazon the other week and I watched it in pristine crystal clear quality with awesome sound and it rocked AAAND I still got goosebumps on the bit when they are rehearsing Mission Drive at Bescot Stadium in black and white then when the song kicks in with Fiddley's bit and it goes full colour with 20000 people jumping up and down... oh it does it for me every time...magic moments indeed. Along with the 'Welcome To The Cheap Seats' rockumentary which includes tour stuff, live footage and the videos for Size Of A Cow, Sleep Alone and Cheap Seats it also includes as a bonus the old '11 Appaling Promos' vid which is another VHS tape that I own that has seen better days I can't understand why Universal didn't just complete the set and give us the vids for 'On The Ropes', 'Dizzy', Full Of Life and Hot Love Now as these have never been made available to the fans another mystery to me is the change of artwork maybe its a copyright thing cos it used to belong to Polydor or something but the band picture on the back cover is the current line up off the cover of the awesome 'Suspended By Stars' album, very strange. Our sadly,dear departed bud Gilksie must be turning in his grave. Anyway if your a fan you must buy this DVD if your not then buy it anyway cos its cool and you might become a fan, grow your hair and start wearing tarten after seeing this. I read a recent interview with Miles and he said he's growing his old locks back he must have bought the DVD too!!!!"
