For preservation purposes, we <a title=\"Fluke Message Board Archive (special.the-raft.com)\" href=\"/media/resources/archive.html\">present a (very ugly) mirror</a>.</p>\r\n<p>The record, from the 1997-1998 period, conveys the enthusiasm felt for the group throughout, with many mentions of excited concert ticket acquisitions, hard to find promos and worldwide availability. Here was one post I particularly liked:</p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I caught your show in vegas under the race track bleachers You guys where so awesome .Ive never in my life seen a group as intense as you.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n<p>In addition to many posts praising the group, it also provides an interesting source of information to follow up on our historical project, for instance:</p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>I just saw Fluke at The JayHawk Festival in Kansas. Yes. Kansas. They were incredible.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n<p>Which is certainly one of which were were unaware. Another lead to be followed up:</p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>budapest(august &rsquo;97)</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n<p>Anyway, thanks again to Waldemarus and we hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane.</p>\r\n<div class=\"tweetthis\" style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;</div>","published_at":"2011-02-10T12:00:00Z","credit":"Waldemarus","categories":[],"tags":[],"cover_image":null,"related_releases":[],"url":"https://fluke.fm/news/2011/historical-record-message-board-archive/","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://fluke.fm/api/news/historical-record-message-board-archive/","type":"application/hal+json"},"alternate":{"href":"https://fluke.fm/news/2011/historical-record-message-board-archive/","type":"text/html"},"collection":{"href":"https://fluke.fm/api/news/","type":"application/hal+json"}}}
