One more sleep to go...

4.24 to 5.00 Kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrikey.


Last time I saw them in about 1992 Corey Glover ( the vocalist) kicked me in the head (by accident) when he dived into the crowd for a surf and I wasn't expecting it cos I was probably goggling at Vernon or Doug's techniques!! Pffttt, Tweaker, yeah, I know :)

Buddy amazing; pity i'm their only fan here possblee :lol:

Early London shows are great... it means i don't have to rush to get the last train home and sit next to the looney reminiscing about Cecil his beloved pet llama how died in a bizarre snorkling accident 10 years ago.

I saw 'em at Manchester Uni a lifetime ago - I got in helping out humping the PA stuff around, and I've still got a broken drum stick somewhere from that gig.
They were pretty good.
I actually thought that Vernon Reid's guitar tech was a much better player, truth be told ;)

They still revel in having 'all the gear' Chris. Whammy pedals a-go-go, 3 members fired off samples at will and also this season's 'must-have' .... a MacBook Pro on a music stand :) Pffftttt, tweakers.

I get the feeling there were an awful lot of studious Drummers, bassists and guitarists in the audience too.

Flatcap stylin' with Argyle Sweater and grey hair + weight gain but boy o boy they're still awethumne.



'Times Up' was the encore which closed with 'Wake Up' chorus by Rage Against the Machine.

Happy Bunny today.

And my head doesn't hurt.
