[Neil Perry]

If he doesn't like it, why record/release it in the first place?
What a load of old ballacks.  Another sign of typical arse/elbow
confusion from KJ. Or what's left of them.

'Cause the live renditions I heard sure sounded shit, especially compared to the studio-recorded versions. Normally, I find Joke material *improves* when played live, but that ain't so with what they had been playing (Majestic, Hosannas, Gratitutde). Though admittedly Geordie certainly puts up with playing selections that he doesn't like (such as "Change," according to Jaz). 
 
 Ah well, any such speculation relies on trusting what these two have said at any given moment, which I've found always leads me back to square one anyway. Ah fuck it.

Y'know, to each their own, but I'm just enjoying the fact that someone within the organization iteself is DARING to part with the party-line (read: Jaz's bluster) about the album being their finest accomplishment ever.

But this does beg a few questions: If Geordie doesn't like it, why was it released that way?

"Geordie said the entire new album is dropped from the set as he  
don't like it,"

VINDICATION!

Odd, considering his efforts are the best thing about the album in  
question.

I thought the band played really well yesterday. Neil looks a lot  
more comfortable with his role, Rez seems to be taking a bit of  
strain off Jaz with the chorus'. Banny twatted the bongos with  
aplomb, busting several sticks in the process. Jaz & Geordie were  
pally & the whole thing had a good vibe in a full tent, all while  
Metallica strutted their stuff on the main stage! Set as best I  
remember;

Communion
Wardance
Total Invasion
Unspeakable
Frenzy
The Wait
Gratitude
Asteroid
Pssyche
Pandemonium

ps Geordie said the entire new album is dropped from the set as he  
don't like it, bar the one they played which is Gratitude.  
Surprised me.
