haha, it was the ‘party & bullshit, party & bullshit’ bit at the end that I recalled ... can’t remember who told me it was The Last Poets or if I read about it, but I’m sure it was in print

As far as KJ supports go, I really enjoyed Treponem Pal and loved The Crying Spell, but didn't much like the Icarus Line and Selfish C*nt were just ridiculous. I couldn't believe they'd actually bagged a Killing Joke support slot. Outside of KJ, I quite enjoyed The Black Crowes opening for the Stones, but they had electrical problems and had to just jam for long periods. I saw Heaven's Basement supporting a Japanese band. Nowhere near as good as the main act, but not too horrible. Jim.

I do it a lot. Was the Taif gig the one where the support got all despondent & kept saying how crap they were? They all played Firebirds and were actually pretty good.

Would he have asked to rejoin if he honestly thought Taif was doing an excellent job? I didn't know him very well but he never seemed to have that kind of ego. Jim.

I definitely remember one there with Raven. Pre  and post Extremities?I'm getting old and  confused. Taif one was a great gig. I was at the  front opposite him. Had no idea who he was, just remember a  manic grin.At least I think I  do...  On 30 Oct 2017 6:39 p.m.,  "jpwhkj--- via Gathering" <gathering at misera.net>  wrote:  Blimey, Raven was  there?

I was stood watching the  support right at the back near the bar, looked to my left  and there was raven watching intently. Never occurred to me  to speak to him.  I think it was that one my that mum's car got  stolen from. Id borrowed it  and parked on a really dodgy  side street!  I may be remembering it wrong but I think they played  there a couple of times in fairly close succession.  Shame the Internationals have gone, they were great  venues.

The two gigs in question were pretty mental anyway (the  Manc one in particular featured an ongoing battle between  two local gangs).  Basically, we'd all suffered our way  through 1988 and Outside the Gate, and the Joke apparently  imploding... and suddenly here they were, with a load of new  tracks that stood up alongside the old material.  I for one  was massively relieved!  The Manc gig was also the scene of one of my favourite  KJ moments.  Most of you have heard it before (probably  several times) but I'll mention it briefly.  I hitchhiked up to Manchester, and was lucky with my  lifts so got there mid-afternoon.  I found the venue, and  the doors were all open so I wondered in and found the Joke  doing their soundcheck.  They played something as a band  (Frenzy, perhaps?) and then Jaz came and stood at the back  and listened while Geordie played Night Time on his own.   Jaz was obviously entranced, and so was I.  There were bits  that I'd previously assumed were keyboards that were  actually guitar.  Hearing Geordie on his own was  incredible.

I think it’s one they were  right to keep back. Like Feast Of Fools I find. A bit  generic.   I think their quality control  Is pretty damn good on the whole.

Only ones I've personally seen  are the Fanatic (which I saw at those two UK gigs in spring  89) and Timewave (London).  Always liked the Fanatic &  couldn't understand why it didn't make the album - I  think it's better than some of the tracks that did.  -----Original Message-----  From: Paul Rangecroft <paul.rangecroft at gmail.com>  To: A list about all things Killing Joke (the band!) <gathering at misera.net>                               Sent: Wed, 25 Oct 2017 23:12  Subject: Re: [kj] Ha  No, I don't think so. Sorry if I caused confusion by  appearing to  suggest that. I was trying to illustrate how relatively rare  it is for  songs to be dropped (either entirely or from albums) at the  live stage  without any sort of studio version or demo. So far the only  example                               anyone has been able to come up with (other than 'Take  Take Take'  obviously) is 'The Hive', which was a precursor. I  guess there are  also those very early crap ones like 'You're Being  Followed'. I think  there was an early live version of 'Solitude' that  bore absolutely no  relation to the album version too.
