A primeira parte do 30 º aniversário foi sempre "tough". Muitos shows foram confirmados no último momento, às vezes a banda sentiu como se estivesse de passagem para uma dimensão desconhecida, em vez de simplesmente viajar para outra cidade. Dormiam no chão, em dormitórios e, por vezes, no meio de uma longa viagem de 10 horas a conduzir (embora felizmente o motorista não sentia sofrimento).
Apesar de todas as pessoas que compareceram em força para ver os Dots; a performance freqüentemente teve essa vantagem de intensidade que a adversidade extrema possa talvez acontecer com a produção.
Esse breve mês breve (que senti como um ano) é superior ao planeamento que está em curso para a parte 2. Mais músicas antigas e novas estarão no próxima Primavera, diz Edward Ka Spell. LEGENDARY PINK DOTS 30th Anniversary Tour- SECOND PART

We, the Legendary Pink Dots feel it is our duty to inform an unwary public that the new number of the Beast is 834. In fact we, the Legendary Pink Dots were instrumental in this turn of events. Let us explain...
The change occurred on a rainy morning in August when the Legendary Pink Dots, Lisa and friends of the Prozhtet Militat were holding a party to celebrate the completion of AsYlum - a cage into which they could retreat from worldly matters.
Naturally, the party finished with the traditional burning of Oogchuu, the fire baby. (We must point out that the burning of Oogchuu is not an act of cruelty. Oogchuu's purpose in the order of things is to be burned, and he never protests when Poison Barbarella strikes the first match.)
However, things did not go as planned. Oogchuu sneezed at an inappropriate moment... the resulting ball of fire incinerated the curtains. The Legendary Pink Dots, Lisa, and the friends of the Prozhtet Militat found themselves in the midst of an inferno!
Happily the quick-thinking Silver Man had the foresight to dial 999 before the telephone melted. But it was not the fire brigade who appeared at our flaming portal seconds later. It was the Beast... standing on his head! Angry! Cursing!
We tried to reason with Him, but it was useless. The terrible one was hell-bent on revenge.
With one sweep of his left hand, the Beast turned the world upside down. Only we, the Legendary Pink Dots, Lisa and the friends of the Prozhtet Militat stayed rooted to the spot as our fellow mortals flew off the earth as if it was an upturned jug.
Then Stret Majest Alarme had a brilliant idea.
"Hey Terrible One", he volunteered, "Why don't you choose a number more in keeping with your dark and terrible methods? After all, 666 reminds me of three little ducks swimming across a pond..."
The Beast was scowling. "Ducks?!" He scowled, but Stret bravely continued. "How about 888? Twist that on it's side and you have infinity - multiplied by three! Yowza!"
A perverse smile spread across the Terrible One's face. He liked the idea.
"I like the idea," he cackled, "but it does not let you off the hook... how can I devise a fitting eternal punishment for you who caused me all this inconvenience?"
It was Patrick Paganini Q. who reluctantly provided the answer. "We shall make our music for you alone, Terrible One. We shall create... an Infinity Waltz!"
And so it goes. The number is 8, the time is 3/4. Endlessly. 8-3-4, 8-3-4, 8-3-4. Endlessly.
Will you spare a tear for us as we bid you farewell?
Eu tenho uma divida com os LPD. É que só vi as três ou quatro primeiras musicas, porque a policia invadiu o palco, dizendo que já era tarde - 1 da manhã, e não havia licença, para os deixarem continuar com a performance. Edward Ka Spell, ficou incrédulo, nunca pensaria, que tal fosse possível acontecer. Mas foi para minha tristeza. Só visto.....
A primeira vez que tocaram em Portugal, foi na centenária festa de S. MATEUS, em Viseu, há mais ou menos 18 anos. Eu fui ver, mesmo doente. Também lá tocaram antes dos LPD, e pela primeira vez os norte americanos Yo La Tengo.
