  1. My first thought was an outdated Flash plugin as well.

    You can do a few things to try to isolate the problem:

    - try to upgrade your flash player

    - change your security settings to medium (internet options > security)

    - try Firefox / Safari / Chrome / Opera

    - do you have issues watching other types of (standalone) video?

    - Youtube has an experimental HTML 5 video playback option which does not use Flash here

    ok, thanks. I updated flash, changed security options and tested the youtube beta (which was only marginally better). I don't seem to have as many issues with other videos, mostly youtube, either embedded on other sites or the site itself. I guess next step is to try another browser - any preferences?? And do i need to remove IE in order to correctly install another browser? like i said, i am clueless. thanks again.

  2. just wondering if anyone has any bright ideas here.

    I'll make this as swift as I can:

    - I recently wiped off my old WIndows and put on a new, official Windows XP Home Edition 2002

    - now I am having huge issues watching videos, particularly on youtube (I am using IE8)

    it's been suggested there's issues concerning drivers but how do I check that and how can I remedy this?

    thanks in advance. i miss youtube.....

  3. i like them a lot (although the budget suggests I'll be skipping them this year). add on their full month long European tour coming up and this is a band that tours the way bands should!

    another lap for the highest grossing band of the last decade!

  5. was wondering if anyone could re-upload the 10/31 and 11/01 shows please?

    Jakis' megaupload download worked for me for the 1st night but I get a "CRC Error" with the other nights.

  6. first time I saw Doug...... around Summer/Fall 1990, at a little below-ground coffehouse on Poulette in Hamilton, called The Warehouse. I was about 16. He had a band then and they played. I honestly thought "oh my god, Neil Young is here!!!" until I verbalised this and was taken to task. Incidentally, The Warehouse was the first place I ever performed in public and where I had the opportunity to briefly meet the late Leslie Mahaffy.

    Doug's been a central figure to the Hamilton music scene for ages. Great singer, player, songwriter. Damn, I remember him opening for High Times at the Tivoli Theatre way back when. What a scene!

    As far as the video goes, interesting for me because I can immediately recognize where the live footage was filmed: The Winking Judge. It hasn't changed much. And I recognize people in the audience, not as friends but as people you just remember being around the same scenes I was.

    rock on Dougie. put a damn album out already.

  7. caught about 1/2 of Wilcox and then the full Kim Mitchell set. good stuff. I enjoyed the balls Kim had in including some non-hit album tracks in the set. Of course he encored with the one tune I wanted to hear, "Lager and Ale"! And yeah, "Battlescar" was an unexpected treat.

    got totally soaked but it was still fun, although having a sea of umbrellas in front made it hard to see, and then the video screen died. speaking of which, when it was working, combined with the full on light show - seems FOF organizers stepped it all up a notch this year. right on.

    the crowd was a lot less jacked up - funny enough - than last year's Steve Earle show, which made me a bit embarrassed to a Hamiltonian. maybe the rain sorted things out.

    peace.
