well coming from me who was there working as a sound engineer.... on the other stage....

i thought the monkeys sounded and looked absolute shite... and i mean every other band i saw were 10 times better...imo

i have toured with the monkeys for 7 weeks or so last year and they were so much better in smaller venues, i think they looked lost and totaly cannot comand an audiance of that size. no banter and no stage presence...

i love jon to death, he is their sound engineer but he did not do them justice at all on the day.. poor bugger was a tad nervous

note for you all, the audio for the tele is re-mixed by engineers on site before broadcast in the BBC outside broadcast trucks. so they will have sounded better on the TV...
