[kj] Ruts/Paul Fox benefit gig last night

[Pssyche]

The Damned have decided to resurrect that piece of crap as an encore on
their current tour
- after dropping it for the last 3/4 years it's been pish to hear it again.

Kinda late with this, but been away in goddamn arctic circle enjoying the
midnight rain.   But what a gig!  Never thought I'd get the chance to see
this, though it was kinda sad too, what with the reasons for this taking
place.   Rollins did a great job it must be said. I'd kinda had doubts, but
it worked.
Kept an eye out for you Antoni, but it was that packed. Someone did comment
on my Wardance t-shirt that it was the best one they'd seen all night!
Oh and they didn't play It Was Cold... that's one of my favourite Ruts
songs, so would definitely remember if they'd done it!
Why the hell did the Damned play Eloise? Fucks sake! 6 songs and that's one
of them?!!   Other than that, excellent!
