I'm sure I speak for all the fans when I say we fully understand Heather's predicament on the night and, quite rightly, to postpone the release of the live recording is the best thing to do. Strangely these things happen for a reason and I'm sure that the next recording will be the definitive one you're looking for. I was in the front row at Shepherds Bush and really felt for Heather, having embarked on take two of "Above The Blue" only to be rudely interrupted by the security walkie talkie randomly firing up! As Led Zep once sang "you're time is gonna come"! We're with you 100% guys, don't ever doubt that! GDog

It'd be a good idea to release certain tracks for download but being the perfectionists they are (not a bad thing) I don't think this would happen.

Lesser bands (or perhaps more fairly, bands under record company pressure) would have retreated to the studio and replaced the live vocals with pristine studio ones in order to get some product out. Not so MA, who prefer to get it right at source in order to produce a genuine live album. It'll be worth the wait!

It certainly added something to the song. If looks could kill eh, H? Seriously though I am glad the band are doing the sensible thing and recording another show or two. If you do that how about a warts and all "official bootleg" box-set of all of the shows recorded as well as a standard release edition of the more polished highlights?

(And I bet Gavin knows plenty of lead singer jokes too) Seriously, entirely the right decision. I'd much rather wait an extra couple of months and get the classic live album which will become the definitive MA disk for new fans. -- Tim Weblog, http://www.kalyr.com/weblog "Never again will I try to celebrate something I love by belittling the things that other people love" - Will Byers on the Guardian Music Blog

While the band sounded great, it just wouldn't do full justice to Heather, who indeed has been singing magnificently at all the shows we saw last year. I think she put up an amazing performance in the circumstances on Saturday but I'm sure she'd want her very best to be released for posterity. "Mostly Autumn Live in 2009" will do very nicely PLEASE... Howard & Georgia

She has a lovely voice and has been my favourite female singer since I first heard her. Over the past few years she has become ever more accomplished and has given some truly wonderful performances both on record and on stage and yes, she is world class and in my opinion as good as anyone else, so the live album should definitely show her at her best ( and the rest of the band too!). Very sorry to hear about Henrys departure, as I think that this has been the stongest line-up so far, an excellent drummer and a very nice chap too, all the best for the future mate! Ian.

I most definitely applaud the honesty of the band for coming out and telling us about the problems, as mentioned above, it wouldn't be the first time such a problem was solved with studio over-dubs, so kudos to MA for not taking this route. But for those of us who are already fans, and who enjoyed the show, how about that "official bootleg"?

The band seem to have been in cracking form on this tour and I hope that a live album does come from it. Stephen C
