Are there any bootlegs or anything floating around?

sorry to go on and on

that astoria gig Jan 1991 was like nothing else i've ever been to

it had to be seen and heard to be believed

it was like a combination of many things coming together at once to create an explosion of music emotion and other things

 

anyone who can't find the reviews of that and the Leeds gig? on line please contact me off list and i'll scan them if I can find them!!!

I'd wager 91 was better than 88!

I agree that the Joke in 91 were fantastic live... but better than earlier incarnations??

disagree totally

anyone who saw killing joke early in 1991 realised at the time that they were probably seeing the best live act ever to grace the stage

 

the songwriting has been better on 2012  IMO than on any other recording since extremities is that down to a combination of the 4 original members gelling after a few years?probably

Rheinhold:

 

You summed it up, beautifully, about Big Paul.  There are no substitutes, period.

BPF didn't play the festivals in 2010-11 either. I assume he's able to manage his NYC schedule around a full tour but not these one-off weekend gigs.
 
I said it before and I'll say it again: BPF is the missing piece and the video of Jason Bowld just confims it. Bowld's a dependable timekeeper, i'm sure, but also a basher with little finesse. I've seen KJ with 5 different drummers now and the closest anyone's come to BPF is Ben Calvert and even he was wide of the mark. My GF accompanied me to the Chicago shows in 2010 and she couldn't give a rip about KJ but she left impressed, commenting "the drummer was incredible."
 
Indeed.

Hey Alex,

 

No doubt you caught up, but just in case, Jason Bowld, is the drummer.

What I have not heard yet is why, had Big Paul, a sick note?

I guess it could be any reason and none of my business, but after the Youth blog, I think it was, things did not sound happy in camp KJ.

Or I guess he could have had other commitments, just curious though.

Who's that on drums?
