On the last two gigs of the reunion tour they also went back to an old favourite, a looped version of the intro to 'Faith Healer' by SAHB.

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.”

Yeah I certainly don't recall them using that
as intro pre Eyes Wide Shut.
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.

[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
