I'm sitting here saying it "roe la"..."roe la"..."roe la" and at the same time this comes on in my headphones:

Wacky.

You aren't the only one...

We saw the gig on Thursday, best I have seen them with some great and different tunes on the night. Best for me was Dirty Club, Juanita, Eight Ball and Dark Train. They mixed several tracks differently, and Rez / Cowgirl was really on it, Rick looked right in his element.

The "intermission" was a pain but when they came back, they finished the set on a high. Lots of hugs between Rick and Karl.

When Rick did his solos, Karl exited the stage, and danced by the electronic equipment. Obviously enjoying the music. It was a great night with some laughs, the boys at their best. Would love a recording, especially that mash up track !

Still not got my actual boxed set '100', that is a poor show.

I'm excited by this setlist but disappointed to see Karl not playing live guitar on tracks like Juanita, 8 Ball and Dirty (Epic? What is Club?). I was just listening to an old live recording of Twist this morning and marveling at what Karl's guitar work brought to it.

It's a revamp and update to Dirty Epic which sounds like a bit like the Darren Price mix on the Olympic CD

Not to my ears it didn't (London Friday show), the latter was very sunshine-y major key, this was still quite dark, but more sparse.

The merch was fairly standard stuff, black tee with white diamond formation of UWBBWFASF, and a white version with black lettering, a black tee with random looking lines / lyrics, a tote, cd's and boxed sets (so they are finished !)

Dirty Club was a more up tempo / dance version of Dirty Epic, not heard this version totally like this before, was excellent.

Did anyone else think that the vocals after the 'intermission' we're not on point, as though Karl's effects were busted ? KoS #2 (first track back) was off, the next track, Faxed Invitation, the vocoder voice was well off and they seemed to cut that track short.

Still a great gig, wonder what made the alarm go off ? Seemed like they were pushing the envelope on the sound system, when they came back, they were testing how loud it would go too.

I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time!
