[kj] London gig (set list included)

Sat May 6 11:38:08 EDT 2006

Yeah, the last few Glasgow gigs have been truly IMMENSE!  There were a 
couple of people with me that'd never seen 'em before at the previous one 
and they were blown away completely.   Sundays one wasn't in the same 
league, but I still really enjoyed it, and didn't think the playing was 
THAT bad overall.  Maybe I was drunker than I thought ;-)     But an 
under-rehearsed/making-mistakes band is one of my most hated things, and it 
didn't seem to get me if it WAS that bad.
I agree that after the last few sold-out shows, people that couldn't get 
into them musta been wondering what all the fuss was about, but I still 
wouldn't say it was bad though.  Far from sold-out this time too, though 
the venue was bigger.   But yeah, there's been very mixed reports on it, 
whereas EVERYONE seemed to think it was fucking great at the last couple.
London was definitely more like it though!

cheers,
              Dave in Edinburgh
