I think it's sad that the dummy playing keyboards on the Riverside
appearance has been totally written out of KJ history. Brought a lot to
the band I thought...

Always amazes me though, how much top notch early footage there is of
Killing Joke. Still nothing from 1980, mind, unless my memory is failing
me (even more).
