darren_strangerRandom impressions:
* Warped (support) - very tight, very rawk'n'roll, very not-my-thing.
* Sound (both bands) - too effing loud, it's a small room, not a fricking football stadium, ferfucksake.
* Crowd - grungy crowd early on, with more goths gathering later and lots of crusty old punks (most popular hairstyle in the 'mosh pit' seemed to be Male Pattern Baldness) - but where were all the crusty young punks?
* Killing Joke - Huuuuge sound, some songs not as tight as others, but magic when it hit the spot.
* Jaz Coleman - one part right nutter to two parts funny fucker.
* Setlist - seemed to have something off every album i know (except Brighter Than 1000 Suns, but everybody seems to pretend that doesn't exist anyway).
* Highlights for me - Requiem, Follow the Leaders, Fall of Because.
* Disappointing - The Wait not sounding exactly the same as on record (even if that was nearly a quarter century ago). Because i wanted it to.
* Surprising - Whiteout and Seeing Red sound much better live (never cared much for them before).
* Interesting - Death and Resurrection Show (never heard it before).
* Don't remember hearing - Tension (though they said they'd played it).
* Would also have liked to hear - nah, let's not get into that.
* Not used to seeing - hands raised in the air without 'devil horns'.
* Sobering moment - hearing the band had a smash on the way down from Brisbane in which four people died. No idea who.
* Most awkward moment - the bass player seeming to want a fight with someone up the front.
* Made up for by - everyone all huggy and chummy at the end.
* Encores - you couldn't make the buggers leave if you wanted to.

Yeah, that was weird, eh? I'm sure I recall Jaz introducing it and me going "Yay, this is what I've been waiting for" and then it not being what they played. Memory doesn't serve me well enough to make me recall what the song actually was. It weren't Tension, but!
