[kj] Best Gig*(After 91)

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Best two for me since '91 have gotta be Camden Underworld and the Barfly. 
About 3 seconds into the Requiem intro at Camden the full realisation of 
how much I'd missed KJ hit me... it'd been something ridiculous like an 8 
year gap since they'd played (I still recall a friend saying in 1995 
"Killing Joke in Glasgow twice in 6 months... incredible!"   Little did we 
know!). And the Barfly was just great for the small size... I love huge 
bands in small places!

Saying that, every gig I've seen since 91 has been great, with the 
exception of the Raven-replacement tour, especially the Glasgow date where 
they were pissed! That was just okay!

Worst gig ever is still Glasgow 86... Brighter Than A Thousand Suns... HA!

Dave in Edinburghhhhh
