Thanks Alex 😊
I've heard all them , still does not help me with the other intro being played on this tour 😂

As there were Four I am guessing each member of the band has picked their own choice.

I’ve heard the use “Booids” by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, “Force & Fire” from Jaz’s thing with Ann Dudley (Songs from the Victorious City), “ Tales of the Future” by Vangelis (from the “Blade Runner” soundtrack) and … yes … “Masked Ball” from “Ass Wide Shit.”

Anyway as I was already aware of who wrote that particular piece what I wanted to know was the name of the piece of music before it.

"The Eyes Wide Shut music is by Jocelyn Pook and its called Masked Ball from Flood which is quite a good album.  Killing Joke used it way before the film!!!!!"


I don't want to start shit; only to respectfully point out that "Masked Ball" by Jocelyn Pook was written specifically for the... masked ball scene in "Eyes Wide Shut" and was based on a previous piece she had written called "Backwards Priests" in 1997. Her album "Flood" came out in 1999, the same year as the movie. KJ often mix it with the "Blade Runner" track by Vangelis.


As always, I welcome rebuttals from the better informed.

Subject: Re: [kj] Roundhouse Went with my mate Ben, who isn't a massive kj fan, but he does like Jah Wobble and we got into the venue just before Wobble came on stage. Id never seen him live before. Brilliant support act for killing joke, very entertaining and the crowd seemed appreciative.
I must admit, Ive fallen out of love with killing joke in recent years. Cant say that the last few albums have really done much for me, apart from the odd couple of songs here and there. My initial reaction to the new album was much the same. However, ive been listening to it a lot while driving about for work and its really grown on me. Some of the tracks which I initially rejected have now become firm favourites. Into the Unknown for one. Live, this was the highlight of my night. Disappointed they didn't play Delete, which is definitely the best on the album in my opinion. Exorcism was fantastic, also Fall of  Because and Madness, but I don't think anyone would be too disappointed if they dropped Asteroid from the set entirely.
We were standing just inside the ring of pillars and the sound there wasn't too bad actually. Big Paul sounded immense, vocals were clear, Geordie could have been a little higher in the mix but you could still hear what he was doing, Youth was just a rumble though. Not the best sound but Ive heard them sounding a lot worse.
Bumped into Antoni outside for a brief chat then headed back to Bens place just off Holloway Road, where we proceeded to get right royally shit-faced and I finally crashed out on the floor about 4 o'clock. Got up the next day to find not one, but TWO parking tickets on my car! 130 fucking quid! 
Oh well, we still had a great night

I was seated upstairs - front seat, great view, but still slightly sad not to be getting sweaty and battered down the front.
The track I was most looking forward to, based on recent setlists, was Delete, so it was a bit galling that they dropped it... on the other hand, several less-recent numbers were absolute stormers, so overall no complaints!  Particularly good ones for me were:
Fall of Because (the first KJ track that really grabbed me, all those years ago)EightiesBeautiful DeadI am the VirusChangePssyche
Contrary to expectations, I rather enjoyed Wardance and Pandemonium.  The former certainly got a large section of the crowd going.
The sound was a bit disappointing.  Too loud, I thought, and Geordie's guitar didn't really come through in all its glory.  Especially disappointing for LLB, which lives and dies on the guitar.
Best thing was probably having such a great view of the whole band, all the way back to Big Paul.  He was absolutely pounding those drums... fearsome energy all the way through.
Cheers,
Jamie
