Another full set from the farewell "Wave Goodbye" tour where Gary guested on selected dates. This is a very good audience recording (one of the best in fact!) but unlike the later shows we only get 2 tracks - namely "Metal" and "I Die : You Die". This now completes the gigs that featured the Numan guest appearences.

Tarquin Live Blog

Just a big shout out to the Tarquin Live blog site that provided the last 3 posts on Numa Boots. The great thing about the bootleg community now is the way it is now there for everyone to share and not profit from, I remember many many times I have bought bootlegs in the past which turned out to be awful and tbh just ripping off the fans. I bring your attention to Tarquin Live as he posts all links in FLAC (not MP3 as we do here) which some of you may prefer and also he appears to be the original taper of these great boots that we have just posted so MASSIVE MASSIVE thanks. There are many many other bands on the site that may be of interest so it is well worth checking out. I am hoping he has some more Numan stashed somewhere!

Here it is....the surprise guest appearance during NIN's set at the O2, what an amazing moment that was! I was at this show and was torn as on the tour so far NIN were either playing their cover of Bowie's "I'm Afraid Of Americans" which is one of my (many) favourite Bowie tracks or Numan's "Metal" but not both. The previous date on the tour (13th July) at Manchester the band had elected to play "Metal" so when "I'm Afraid Of Americans" was played 8 tracks into the set in London I was resigned to not getting a Numan fix that night. Talk on the train journey on the way up touched on the fantasical with "wouldn't it be great if Gary came on for "Metal" and the opinion of it would be but would never happen! - How wrong we were!
