[kj] London gig (set list included)

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Yeah, must say I loved this gig. I think Glasgow is getting a bit more 
slagging than it really deserves, but this one was definitely more 
together.  Still think the Hosannas tracks don't come over nearly as well 
live as they do on the record, but still wish they'd played a few more off 
it. Hard to pick highlights... Pssyche as always, MINOG... ah fuck it, it's 
ALL good!   Really glad I made the additional effort (and expense) to make 
this gig... had a great time, and have the bruises to prove it.

Aye, good to catch up wi Gatherers I hadn't met before (and ones I 
had!)...  I'd NEVER EVER heard Scottish/ginger hair jibes before! No, 
NEVER!  ;-)  I had my hair colour changed by deed-poll at the age of 4 I'll 
have you know.

Always good to have a Turbo-talk Neil!   In fact, I have some goodies gonna 
be on their way to you soon... their cover of Repo Man, plus another Gimme 
Shelter for your collection (though that one may scare more than entertain!).

Hmm, I could REALLY do with another Joke gig soon!

Dave in Edinburgh
