    I've been a fan of Neil's since I first learned he wrote all the songs for The Rutles. By the time I saw Neil perform 'I'm The Urban Spaceman' solo on a banjo in the concert film 'Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl', I was officially hooked. I've been downloading mp3's off his website for the past few days now and I think I'm fast becoming a Innes-adict. Anyone else here just love his stuff?

    On top of that, it was Mr. Innes who sang lead on most of the Rutles' tracks.

    By the way, the Bonzo Dog Band was/were the Beatles favorite band. Enough that they (the Bonzos) appeared in Magical Mystery Tour (the film).

    Besides being so talented, he is a nice guy to boot. Meet him at a Beatlefest a few years back and he was gracious as can be.

    I love Neil Innes. He is the greatest human who ever lived. His contributions to mankind will never be fully comprehended. His humanity toward others is stunning. The world would be a better place if there were more Neil Innes in it.

    Nice Picture Rich. I assume it was taken at the NY Fest. When he was in Chicago a few years back, the crowd was treated to a new Rutles/Beatles classic: Wrigley Fields Forever. :laugh:

    ...but isn't that one of Viv Stanshall's numbers? I dig 'em both, but Stanshall's the greatest!

    I'm very glad to note, however, that my two ab fab examples of BDB surrealism---"Rhinocratic Oaths" and "My Pink Half Of The Drainpipe" are Viv Stanshall & Nige Innes collabrations.

    Hey, I just heard about the Neil Innes Sound Archive, thusly:

    Dr. Andrew Warrilow,
    Coed Helyg,
    Feidr Brenin,
    Newport,
    Pembrokeshire,
    SA42 0RZ,
    United Kingdom.

    Welcome to the NEIL INNES SOUND ARCHIVE (NISA)

    The Neil Innes Sound Archive (NISA) is produced in
    association with Laurie Stevens and Bonnie Rose of Neilinnes.org and
    Louise
    Marriott of the 'Official' Neil Innes Fan Club.

    The NISA public archive was established in Jan 2002 to
    distribute non-commercially released recordings of Neil's radio,
    television
    and concert appearances to fans all around the world. NISA is strictly
    a
    NOT-FOR-PROFIT concern and only charges monies to cover costs.
    Initially NISA was released on audio CDs, but as the number
    of CDs in the archive has grown to over 150, the archive has switched
    to MP3
    CD-ROM format discs for it's distribution. Audio CDs are no longer
    available
    to new subscribers.
    NISA is currently collaborating with Jonathan Street of
    S.H.A.R.E. on various Vivian Stanshall projects which have so far
    yielded 6
    audio CDs (the NAS CDs) with more planned for late 2005 and 2006.

    NISA MP3 CD-ROM DISCS.
    The complete NISA public archive (containing the original
    157 audio CDs) is available as a set of 15 x ISO-level 2 CD-ROM discs
    in MP3
    audio format complete with artwork as 150 dpi bitmap files. The MP3
    files
    are all either 160 kbs over-sampled or 128 kbs, reflecting the quality
    of
    the source material.

    You can create an audio CD copy of any of the 157 titles on
    the MP3 CD-ROM discs by using Apple computer's program iTunes 4.6 or
    higher
    to convert the relevant MP3 album folder into an audio CD (requires
    your
    computer to have a CDR burner).

    As a bonus, 3 CD-ROM discs containing all 14 episodes of RWT
    (the 'Pythonet.org' versions) as a mixture Quicktime, AVI and Real
    Video
    files along with assorted other Neil Innes and Bonzo AVI and QuickTime
    files
    are also included. The resolution of these video files is quite low to
    fit
    onto CD-ROM at just 2 inch viewing area on a 15 inch CRT monitor. A
    software
    CD-ROM is also included containing the software required to view the
    video
    files on both Windoze XP and Mac OS 9 and OS X computers.

    The price of the NISA MP3 CD-ROM disc set is £20 pounds
    sterling for people in the U.K. or £30 pounds sterling for people
    overseas.

    U.K. subscribers should send payment only AFTER receiving
    their NISA discs in the form of a cheque drawn on a U.K. bank account
    made
    payable to 'A. Warrilow'. Payment should be sent to the address above
    AFTER
    you have received your NISA CD-ROM discs.

    Overseas subscribers should send payment only AFTER
    receiving their NISA CDs in the form of cash by obtaining pounds
    sterling
    notes (available in 10 and 20 pound denominations) from your local
    currency
    exchange or bank and then send them by registered airmail. Please
    ensure
    that the sterling notes are not visible when your package is held up
    against
    an electric light.

    Best Wishes and Happy Listening,

    Andrew.

    Well bless my trousers that's a LOT of Neil Innes! I'd sure love to hear those Bonzo tracks. Whooops! In the oven - my rice pudding's getting burned! Dada for now!

    Any news on the documentary that they made a few years ago? It screened at some Fest For Beatles Fans, but I never saw it. It sure would be nice to know it's still chugging along.

    Urban Spaceman Forum Eulipion

    Good point. I'd read about this too - never saw it. Any reported sightings would be of interest for sure. I'm still a bit miffed that I missed out on buying some of those great T-shirts they had around the time of the Bonzo reunion shows years ago. At least I got the DVD, which is a hoot and a half!

    Had I known the doc would never be released, I would've gotten up early enough to go see it. I'm kicking myself now. I'm kicking really hard and it hurts.

    Love Neil, but it was Viv who made the Bonzos. Viv's deadpan voice makes "The Intro and The Outro", and his version of Terry Stafford's "Suspicion" leaves me in stitches every time.
