I still maintain that for the live Aeroplanes experience, the closest they
ever got was the Glastonbury 92 BBC session. I have done several people
cassette copies, but I'm sure someone must have a digital copy by now.

I think it was that Mean Fiddler gig that Rodney played in his own rightas
support(with Paul Mulroney?) but at the end of the Aeros' set Gerrard asked
us who we wanted to lead on BIMH.
'RODNEY' we shouted, and there he was.What *LIVE* does for me might be the
same ;I suddenly have an undeniable urge to dig out recorded material which
hasn't previously been given it's dues.'Fruit' was one of them this time 
but
also 'Weird Shit, and I'm absolutely impressed by'Showing off to impress 
the
girls', and also'Roundheads(on every corner). I' also given a 12" Boy in 
the
Bubble a listen for Talkin' on the other Phone. 
wwwWOW!

 I agree with Paul, I think Fruit is a shocker, and along with
Friendloverplane 2 arguably should not have been released as it devalues 
the
body of work overall. I think the band must have been going through Ryan
Adams syndrome, ie if it exists release it ... never mind if it is actually
any good or not. None of the available live tracks match the actual
experience of being there, especially in a mid-size venue like the Mean
Fiddler with a good sound system. 
 
Talking of which i didnt think Wierd Shit came out as a cassette until '96,
but could be wrong. I remember meeting Nora at the Mean Fidder gig in 94
(the Bop Art re-union show). 
 
And talking of that show, i remember the old line up met three days before
the gig for a rehearsal in East London somewhere. We had a few cans during
the evening, before Gerard and John announced they had to rush to 
Paddington
for the last train to Bristol. I put them in my car and sped off down the
street - the wrong way down a one-way. Blue flashing lights. Woops! The 
boys
in blue had a good look at the car and after a while basically let me off
without a breathalizer, which i may well have been close to failing. I was
so elated that we could continue i turned to the departing policeman and,
engaging in a bit of polite banter, said, "So which way is it to officer,
Paddington?" He took another long hard look at me before muttering,
gerroutofit!
