[Janean Lancaster]

I was most chuffed at hearing Eighties for the first time!

Can only echo what you said about the atmosphere being great.  Hope they 
keep ESS and Great Cull in the set for future tours, good crowd pleasers.

I thought the sound was a bit muffled but that could have just been from 
where I was - wish I'd got a bit closer, but the crowd surfing and beer 
throwing put me off.  Great gig, though.

Cheers,
Janean
