[kj] New KJ Bootleg From Amsterdam Sept 2010

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Actually, I think Big Paul may have done some er, oddly pitched singing! 
Would need to listen again, but there was definitely one song at the gig 
with quite rough backing vocals, and neither Youth or Geordie were near 
their mics. Mind you, Jaz struggles a bit from time to time too! Maybe 
their onstage sound was poor, there was definitely some gesticulating at 
the monitor man.
Doing monitors for Killing Joke... I bet that's a laugh a minute!
