m_thomp Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yup. I know they rarely kick their set around, no delving into the back catalogue too much. But there is a thought of if it's not broke why fix it? They dropped 4 tracks from Mystics, played Feeling Yourself Disintegrate, for the first time in 3 years I think. The tracklisting went: Race For The PrizeFree RadicalsYoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 1 and 2Vein Of StarsIn The Morning Of The MagiciansThe Yeah Yeah Yeah SongThe WandCow And Duck JamShe Don't Use JellyFelling Yourself DisintegrateDo You Realize?War Pigs Steven and Kliph were sensational. The multi-instrumental work from Steven is just jaw-dropping - he really does seem to keep the thing ticking over, and Kliph's playing was just brutal, he totally destroyed War Pigs (I mean that in a good way). Wayne was off-key as usual but that hardly mattered, he was drowned out for most of the gig, and was as avuncular as ever in between songs... kinda like a earthier (in swearing terms alone) version of Earl Hickey from My Name Is Earl. Was a really great night. Managed to bump into Wayne outside the venue beforehand, and my girlfriend got given one of Kliph's drumsticks. They give a lot and get a lot back from their audience - sometimes it pays for a band to be nice, but I don't mean that in the wet-apologetic Chris Martin sense. Radio 1 broadcast the gig last night. It's available for people to listen to it again here . I have a MP3 version of the gig....if anyone wants it, drop me a PM and I'll up it to YSI. Will post some photos from the gig shortly.

m_thomp Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Okay. Photos as promised. Here's one of Wayne on the street outside the venue - Support came from the wildly energetic Go! Team - hadn't worked out that taking the flash off my camera would have been a good idea at this point One for our resident Taffs (andrewdowdall and Welsh Rich). Drummer Kliph nailing his Welsh family heritage to the mast during set-up: I was right down the front so I managed to get a few good shots of the band: Being straight in front of Steven helped Quote Link to post Share on other sites

embiggen Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 awesome pics! they always put on a good show! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m_thomp Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Here's the link to the show, just a few points to note, the sound cuts out almost a immediately for a few seconds - I dunno why. And it's a BBC recording so when Wayne talks about the Santas and Aliens on either side the stage they cut out him saying that the Santas represent Christianity (cue audience boo's) and the Aliens represent Scientology (cue even bigger boo's). There is also no War Pigs or Feeling Yourself Disintegrate on the recording. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 One for our resident Taffs (andrewdowdall and Welsh Rich). Drummer Kliph nailing his Welsh family heritage to the mast during set-upI can't see photobucket at work, so I'm guessing that it's either our wonderful flag, or an inflatable sheep.(Has he really got some Welsh inside him?)

Welsh Rich Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 It's a red t-shirt with "Cymru" on the front - I had heard he had some welsh ancestry to him. Great photos Mark - look really good. I'm going to bring my camera along to the Jenny Lewis gig tomorrow night... Hope to get some, errr, good ones... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoOneKnowsMe Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) The show is down. Would you be able to re-up? I would love to hear it. Edited May 1, 2006 by NoOneKnowsMe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
