I just looked at the TV guide and the gig is being shown on NME TV at midday this friday (UK time) under the name 'The Big Gig'. The channel is only on sky so is there anyway someone could rip it and upload it to rapidshare or something like that?

I have been looking arround and I don't think you can view NME TV online, but maybe they will upload it to youtube like they did with last year's. There must be some way I can get hold of it!

Edit: Actually I just looked on the NME homepage and in the video 'The NME Agenda' it says it will be on E4 this wednesday at 9PM (UK), but on 4's TV guide it says there is cheaper by the dozen on at that time, and the only search results on the TV schedule is the big gig mentioned above

That's quite strange because every time i go on it it is just this looping dance music or something (not the stuff that NME would play), that's been going on for ages, with some pictures of volcanoes, caves and surfers. There is no NME logo in the corner but there is a Dance 247 ad in the corner.

At the moment according to the schedule NME TV is showing Awards 09 special, so I don't think that is a proper stream. I dought that anyone would stream the channel, as not many people watch it.

WOW what a night!
I will say that I'll think twice before going to a show like this again with such a big floor. The pushing and shoving in the crowd was really scary at times. We were on the rail right in front of Porl and I really thought I was going to get crushed more than once!
The security guys in the front brought WATER to the crowd all through the show, though, which was incredibly thoughtful. Yay O2!
The performance itself was great--I LOVED the setlist, Robert was smiling and seemed to really enjoy himself, and apart from Crystal Castles the other bands were great too. Some of the crowd around me didn't seem to know the newer stuff like Hungry Ghost and It's Over. The place went NUTS for the encore though.
Glad I went even if I nearly got smushed in the process.

I think we'll just have to hope someone uploads it, but maybe for people in the UK it may be on E4 or 4music maybe, as they had it last year and NME said it would be on tonight at 9 on E4, but the TV guide doesn't see it that way.

According COF

Big Gig airs two days early

Remember that Big Gig special that was supposed to air on the NME channel this Friday? Yeah, it actually aired tonight. Here's a report: "NME Big Gig was on tonight, opened with Underneath The Stars and also played Shake Dog Shake, The Only One, Just Like Heaven, The Hungry Ghost, One Hundred Years, It's Over, 10:15 Saturday Night, Killing An Arab.

Also some great interview pieces with Robert, a couple of White Lies & Franz Ferdinand and 2 from Crystal Castles (unfortunately). It was on NME TV Channel 382 (UK Sky) - 2 days early - they always seem to muddle up the listings on music channels!" (Thanks Marc.)

Update: "According to today's NME which has an advert about it, its also on:
Thursday 5th - 11PM
Friday 6th - 12PM and 10PM
Saturday 7th - 5 PM
Sunday 8th - 3PM and 12AM
Monday 9th - 11AM and 8PM
Tuesday 10th - 4PM and 12AM"
(Thanks Beau, AndrewV127, and Marc.)

Watched the O2 show on NME TV last night - actually a goood programme, featuring interviews with RS throughout the show, almost a narration of the event. Interesting insights into Roberts passion for a good live show and an appreciation of the fans perspective.

It turns out that he wanted the original set to be two songs off each album - infact this is what was rehersed on the Saturday prior to the gig - it took 2hrs 36min to play - so too long for the event/public transport. I wonder what the second song from "the top" could have been with the current line-up????! It also appeared evident that the final setlist was not agreed until the very last minute, with the kiss and lullaby almost making the set to represent their respective albums.

I'm sure bits of the programme will get onto youtube etc, or some brighter person than I will have worked out a way to upload it to the net.

One video has appeared on the NME website - http://www.nme.com/video and click on the one about the 'Shockwaves Big Gig' (or scroll down for the direct link). It's only one song - It's Over - and quite bad quality audio but it's a start

This sounds rock

By the way, someone at dimeadozen says that he recorded the video, so is just a question of time until it surfaces.
