Then his daughter and girlfriend arrived and as I had a car full already, the lift didn't happen. Jeez was he pissed and was frankly fucking rude to Mike Coles but I guess he was just venting to an old mate. He was gracious enough to me though.

Complimented him on the show and said " could here youth" to which he replied "good" and departed laughing away.

>>> Turn To Red
>>> Madness
>>> Love Like Blood
>>> Pandemonium

>>> 
>>> 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)
>>> Eighties
>>> Beautiful Dead
>>> I am the Virus
>>> Change
>>> Pssyche
>>> 
>>> 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.
