[kj] ABC Glasgow

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Yeah it was a rather drunken gig, though personally I didn't think it was 
THAT bad (then again, I was drunk too). Pssyche was the worst mistake for 
me... sounded like Geordie was playing a completely different song  at the 
start. At least they didn't have to stop and start again, though it did 
come perilously close.
The two new ones didn't work that well, just sounded like something was 
missing really.
Normally a band being under-rehearsed/making mistakes drives me nuts, but I 
still really enjoyed this gig. Opinions amongst friends were mixed  though 
the complaints were more to do with the sound than anything else.   But 
certainly there's no way this gig came close to the previous couple of 
times in Glasgow when they were truly incredible.
I really hope they get it together again and don't do another disappearing act.
