Script

Man: So what did you think of it?

Woman: Well, I think the CD's brilliant so I was prepared to be disappointed because these groups can't always get the same effects on stage as they do in the recording studio - you know, you get the noise, the excitement, but you lose the subtlety of the melodies and lyrics. But I couldn't have been more wrong. To my mind, it was every bit as good.

M: Well, I generally prefer to see groups live actually - I really don't go for that kind of sanitised studio sound - it doesn't have the same edge - so I'd have been happier if they'd let go a bit - but you're right, they did stay pretty faithful to what's on the album.

W: And the lead singer's voice is out of this world - I mean how does she hold those notes like that? I thought they could've done some new material though. Apart from one or two covers of rock standards, it was all tried and tested stuff.

M: Oh well, that's what people come to hear - they are promoting their album after all.

W: That's true I suppose - and they got a good reception from the audience generally, didn't they?

M: They did.
