[kj] Recent KJ gigs... was that cuntTrump

I thought the BUzzcocks sounded electrified in Boston. GOod crowd too--ppl I haven't seen in years were all there, young and old alike.

The Joke have played to smaller crowds at the past few Boston shows--no one seems to know who they are anymore.

I'm hearing that the Damned show in May will be sold out.

Yeah, I see the Damned most times they tour... still enjoyable, but missing a vital ingredient for me (Rat Scabies!). Buzzcocks are still good, but with Killing Joke I feel the power is pretty close to how it always was (though admittedly I didn't see them until the Night Time tour... 80/81/82 musta been pretty incredible!).

Yup, Pssyche is always a highlight... woulda loved Bloodsport too. I love the fact that the new stuff fits in perfectly... there's no drop in quality like there is with many other bands. In fact I'd be happy with a set made up of mainly newer stuff... not many bands I'd say that about!

Let's just hope there's a new album tour for next year... I'm sure I did hear mention of new material already being worked upon!

Have to agree with you in regards to other bands. Did you catch The Damned, at all recently? They can still deliver, but not a patch on Killing Joke. I went to see The Buzzcocks, a week after KJ, and although I enjoyed it, in comparison, it was chalk and cheese.

Alex may not like your comments on Eighties lol but I tend to agree, it is possibly one song that has dated and has no real relevance anymore, but still gets a crowd jumping and the fact they were comfortable putting it so early in the set (along with LLB), again shows what an amazing arsenal of songs they have. Personally, if they just played Pssyche and walked off the stage I'd be happy ...lol I hope it is never dropped. I think I was lucky in that Dublin, was only place they've played a full set, even if it was Bloodsport, instead on TD&RS, but I got to hear that in Belfast.

Lucky ducker going to Denmark, I'd love to get to another myself and toyed with the idea of going for the last night in Belgium, but not going to happen, my busy time of year. Hope you have a good trip.

Ha ha, fair enough... saw 'em in York and Brixton last week (with Copenhagen still to come) and they were pretty much as fucking great as ever! York was too quiet, volume-wise, but Brixton nailed it.
Was enjoyable seeing Diamond Dave giving as good as he got when Geordie gave him some grief at the York gig. I never tire of this band, one the the few that are still genuinely fucking great all these decades down the line. The only song I could do without now is Eighties, as much as I loved it in the, er, eighties, it just doesn't do it for me anymore. Wish they'd done Empire Song instead... especially since it was on the setlist. Oh and Big Paul's drumming was stunning!

Isn't it funny how this has created so much bad feeling?

No one wants to chat about killing joke for months. They go on tour and play some blinders, but instead we trade insults over USA politics

Bit shit isn't it guys?
