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.
