Frank Turner and band ending their set supporting Green Day at Wembley Stadium, London on June 19th 2010 with singles The Road and Photosynthesis. It's a drummer's eye view, so sound wise heavy on the percussion and Ben's guitar, but hope you enjoy this backstage perspective anyway!

Frank Turner playing to 3000 people at The Roundhouse in London at the end of his March 2010 tour, The video camera was set up as lighting reference, hence the wide angle and no close ups, and the sound was a stereo mix off the desk so the crowd are very quiet. When it says 'highlights' it's my favourite bits of the lighting, so there.

I know I'm often over-self-deprecating, but it's just a bit of fun really. I've observed many drummers lift and re-interpret bits for their own use. So there.

I've taken to videoing myself to try and analyse and improve, I thought maybe four or five people might be interested to see edited highlights of what I see. Soundchecks, bits of songs chosen either because I thought they were good bits of the set or because there was something tasty in the playing. This has got Barbs bringing Frank's guitar on (he's the real star), and bits of Father's Day, Substitute, Try This At Home, Photosynthesis and Reasons Not To Be An Idiot, along with the whole of The Road.

Unbelievable Truth playing the track Settle Down on French TV show Nulles Parts Ailleurs. This was the only time we played with an extra keyboard player, Richard Payne, who had previously played with Dodgy. Lovely guy, great keyboardist, wish we could have done more but couldn't afford to take him on tour sadly. PS Sorry about the black and white, something to do with transferring a French video on an English player, probably.

Bits of Nashville (which we hadn't played for months) and a stupid version of The Road in soundcheck, Love, Ire and Song, Photosynthesis and Reasons from the gig.

Our first visit to this French TV show. No one had warned us that we walked the stage while being introduced, so the start of the song was a bit nervy as we suddenly realised we had to start and grabbed up instruments. Fun though.

Me doing all the parts to the keyboard solo of Cinema Show in one take. Due to YouTube's 10 minute time restriction I've had to split it into two parts. This took a long time - more than once I got near to the end of the keyboard solo, screwed up and had to go all the way back to the start with the drums. I don't really expect anyone to watch the whole damn thing - I've only put it all up to prove that it's all in one take. Little screw up right at the beginning of the keyboard solo, but I think half a day was enough attempts.

In soundcheck at Edinburgh Cabaret Voltaire in August. We've now started doing this version on the current tour. Note the fact that the drumming in the verse is entirely ripped off Zeppelin's Rock And Roll, to the extent that I essentially played the intro of that song.

Another track taken from the Los Endos show at Kingston many moons ago. I thought the video of it had been recorded over or exploded, but found it and thought I'd share this as well. A few little fuck-ups here and there... Being Genesis it's too long for one video, hence splitting it into two.

Stop Your Break Up click bit.ly sad song..hope u enjoy it.. (: CHAHA HAI TUJHKO Chorus: I loved you, I will love you with every breath. Even after death, this love won't lessen in my heart. When the memories of you overtake me, my tears flow. Every moment they tell me that we shall meet. What is this life (of mine) save a story about you? Its just your story, this life (of mine). Chorus Your words, those acts of desire - were they lies, those promises? Were those oaths lies? Beloved, are they real? Tell me at least that much! Dont break this moment of trust. Give me some repayment for my wait. Chorus I am yours, only yours; ask of me whichever oath you wish. O life companion, give me all your sorrows and cares. I will bear the pain of this separation for the entirety of my life. In the road, my destinations are forever lost; my troubles will go with me. Chorus Youre before me now, why this distance? How shall I tell you, oh, what it is to be helpless! Still, this is the way I must live. I'll just have to drink tears. This is the way I must live. _ THe hindi lyric is much more nicer!!
