Went on at about 8:15pm just last night (March 3) and 'twas a hell of a
show...band told me they thought it was the best so far, even after 2 almost
sold-out crowds in Quebec City. 1st set was kinda mellow and they seemed to
be just playing, but the 2nd was alomost 2 hours long including the encore.
Much more trancy than the 1st. Steffi tells me he's experimenting a bit more
with his synths and sequencers and everything. He had a keyboard blow up in
NYC because he forgot about the whole voltage bit so he picked up a nice
Moog. Sent him off synth shopping this morning. The whole show was just
incredible. Whoever you are and whereever you are get your ass off to their
next show 'cause it's a must see. Here's the set list from the evening...

                Gong Classic

-They did many songs either completely or partially in French. Definitly a
one of a kind show. For those of you who'll be on the other side of the
ocean later this year, they're going back to England come the 22 of March
and going about England, Wales, and Scotland. Then they're looking for
France, Belgium, and maybe Germany and finally Japan. Keep an eye out for
more Gong News because GAS has bigbig plans for a Gong website that is to be
the virtual incarnation of Gong.
