It's still available to watch online at the above url

Happy watching - I think Prince picked the right section of the gig to air live - it really shows how excite dthe crowd were.....
FANTASTIC MEMORIES!

My absolute fave moment- rolls back the years- Prince letting rip in his uniquely crazzzy way. I looked forward to that bit at every show I attended. Get those knees seen to, old man.

thanks i will

and my back ..neck .....oh lord

hemphizzx said:

My sky plus stopped as well. Do think there was some sort of anti-recording mechanism thing going on. I dont know some kind of data protection thing??

WE DO!

For real... I swear every time I've watched that Sky footage both hands have gone straight up in the air on sheer instinct!

i think so

i skyplussed the news programme from 8pm till 9pm

8.37ish its cuts off!!!!!

WOW - THANKS SO MUCH FOR GETTING THIS LINK, I HAVE BEEN TRYING ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT WAS TOLD THEY HAD TAKEN THE LINK OFF.

guvnorx07 said:

I can see myself (I think) on the footage at the arrow end of the stage.

Spooky that Sky cut the recording - good job my brother recorded it for me on his HDD recorder off freeview

I've got Virgin Media (ie NTHeLL) so we don't get Sky News!

I keep watching the footage and makes me remember how amazing it was every time, I look a bit silly jumping up and down in my living room but my 3 year old daughter loves joining in and has taken to chanting "Oh funky London" at the top of her voice, even at nursery!

hemphizzx said:

Yep, add me to the list. I swear I set it to record 8pm to 9pm and 9pm to 10pm. But instead it recorded 8pm to 8.37... then stopped.

Grr.

If anyone successfully got the whole segment on their DVD recorder...

Def something goin on with sky+ I tried manually programming from 8.15-9.45 and got a Failed recording! Zilch! I was gutted, so glad i was there. Its not the same watching a tiny window on the web. When u want Sky to repeat something eh?

so glad it wasnt just me

i was ready to throw the fucking box out of the window !!

Yeah mine didnt record either, luckily enough some1 posted a link 1 a program{which has now been removed} 2 download it from the Sky website!!!

just found myself dancing and jumping round my living room again!!!!! thanx guvnorx07.

I SAID WHO IN THIS HOUSE KNOW ABOUT THE QUAKE.....
LONDON TOUCH THE SKY.....
omg if only i could turn the clock back to fri night.... where is heros when you need them

theres not enough space in the blocks to jump! I nearly fell over the seat in front of me

FunAndJames said:

i nearly went over ..on the 1 , 2 , 1 , 3 , 4 OF I FEEL 4 U !!

MY POOR KNEES

hemphizzx said:

that is so funny... i nearly did the same and nearly headbutted the person in front of me which was gertygirl.

on sept the 6th we had d1 or was it d3 floor tickets, we just moved out to the aisle, so much easier.

I nearly jumped off upper tier on several occasions. I was fine until I looked down & then 4 some reason flew off at an angle & nearly ended up with a similar fate to several hundred/thousand of those glow sticks.

No knee pains tho.


Man I miss those shows.....

That, 'who in this house knows about the Quake', line always makes me laugh. I was listening to a live recording one time with an old girlfriend and she asked me, "Who's Bert De Quake".

mine didn't. i got it all including the guy who was talking about Prince afterwards but didn't really know what he was on about half the time. all set to go on my dvd now.

At least we got to see some bits of the London shows on Sky and 3121.com. I hope a dvd is coming.

Anybody notice that isn't the same symbol stage from the Super Bowl?

We were on the top tier and when we jummped my husband fell forward and landed on the 2 girls in front with me holding onto his jacket to pull him back. Don't know who got more of a fright him, me or the girls!!!!

What a way to start a show

maddie372 said:

:omfg:that is just too funny..... but on a serious note, i dont think when the o2 seating was planned, they envisaged prince coming and rocking the place. i know if i was in the upper tier, i would have had to put weights on my ankles to keep me down.... hmm thinking to self: not a good idea as if one had gone over, would have gone like a missile, but hey quick way to floor seats

hemphizzx said:

Me too - I swore like a navvy when I realised that it hadn't worked - just got the interview with that clueless twat... Was seriously pissed off... am praying for the man to release a dvd

MrsGoodnight said:

I managed to get it on dvd...sshh...don't tell anyone.

The interview is such a waste of time, think my cat could have talked more sense then he did.
