Prose Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Roky was in great form last night, better than I anticipated. The Explosives where a great no nonsense backing band whose take no prisoners approach gave Roky's songs a biting edge. Roky was smiling all through the set, clearly enjoying himself and the great fan reaction. His guitar playing was tight and singing was strong especcially when he nailed the howling vocals of You're Gonna Miss me. Dont have the Setlist but here are what I can remember Cold Night For AlligatorsThe Beast(extended with gutar solos)The InterpreterBermudaTwo Headed DogDont Shake Me LuciferSplash 1Starry EyesYoure Gonna Miss MeI Walk With A ZombieCreature With the Atom BrainBefore you Accuse Me(not sure of the title, but the blues standard, much better than Clapton's version!)

kidsmoke Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 That sounds like a great show! I'd have loved to hear Bermuda and Two Headed Dog live, not to mention the rest of that list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
