The good news is that the forecast is for the rain to pass through overnight, with a drier day tomorrow and sunny spells on Saturday before the rain returns on Sunday evening.

The DVD contains the full show, while the CD omits 'Love Buzz' and almost all of the between-song stage talk - presumably because there wasn't quite enough space for the whole show on one CD. 'Love Buzz' and all the chat are on the DVD, however. The full DVD tracklist is: <br /><br />1. Intro<br />2. Breed <br />3. Drain You <br />4. Aneurysm <br />5. School <br />6. Sliver <br />7. In Bloom <br />8. Come As You Are <br />9. Lithium <br />10. About A Girl <br />11. Tourette's <br />12. Polly<br />13. Lounge Act <br />14. Smells Like Teen Spirit <br />15. On A Plain <br />16.

Their 1995 and 2007 Reading Festival appearances are available. The 1995 set is from a radio broadcast, and there are two versions of the 2007 show, one an audience recording of most of the show, the other edited highlights from a radio broadcast.

Unfortunately, my hard drive failed, taking with it the site, all my work, and (even more importantly to me) over three years' worth of photographs... nothing was recoverable. I've had rather a lot of work to do in catching up as a result, and fatreg.com has, unfortunately, had to take a back seat.<br /><br />I'm also not going to Reading this year... the first time I've been unable to since I first went way back in 1983. Work commitments have got in the way for the first time. <br /><br />If you've been this year, please post your thoughts or a review in the forum (you don't have to register).<br /><br />Normal service is about to be resumed, and I hope to be back at the Festival next summer.Fat Reghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02126234822569729443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380335519905972313.post-81191359678248664872009-01-28T12:47:00.003+00:002009-01-28T12:53:22.854+00:00Anvil for Glastonbury?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NRUCkK3tlr0/SYBUXY-SrtI/AAAAAAAAAL8/2j_4X-AOPy0/s1600-h/Anvil.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 335px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NRUCkK3tlr0/SYBUXY-SrtI/AAAAAAAAAL8/2j_4X-AOPy0/s400/Anvil.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296325922605149906" /></a>Legendary metal band Anvil are potentially being lined up to play Glastonbury this summer.
