[kj] London gig (set list included)

[Neil Perry]

Seconded - glad I went of course, but real shame not
to hear the new stuff. Hosannas was a highlight for
me, as was Unspeakable. (And watching Geordie having
'a moment' during Primitive - head back, eyes shut,
really getting into it. Or out of it.) The only real
turd in the swimming pool was Gratitude. Obviously
means a lot to Jaz, but after the lively build up of
the first five songs it's a real dirge. 

Anyways, nice to see everyone and also to discuss all
things Turbonegro with Mr G Goblin. And I bought the
blue vinyl Hosannas (that's the £15 one, not the £30
autographed one...)at the merch stall. Have yet to
listen to it, but worth it for the sleeve alone. Lush!
