        I think the interesting thing is who will cover the gaps. Ron will
be Bob Calvert, obviously, and I guess Thomas Crimble will be John
Harrison and Dave Anderson, but there are still some obvious ones. Who
stands in for Simon King? Alan Powell? Please no. Terry Ollis? Well, good,
but different. Hmm. I assume Alan will cover Harvey's old bass
parts. Presumably all the Bridget stuff is out. There's still an awful lot
to choose from though. And which line-up gets the classic songs? They've
all played them. MotU for the first, `Brainstorm' for the _Live 79_
line-up, please please `Orgone Accumulator' when Lemmy's on, and all the
Captain Lockheed stuff for the modern-day line-up?

        Also, I rather hope some new material will get an airing. There
really ought to be some by now even if it's only the Star Nation
stuff. And in some ways it'll be a rather dead-ended event if there's
indication of a future as well a past. Still mindblowing of course, but...

        Very true, although that Steve Smith fella they had in for
`Phetamine Street' did it none too badly. Can I also note that there's no
mention of Mr. Dibs or Cpt. Rizz, and heave a huge sigh of relief...

        It will, as my erstwhile school-mates would have said, large
:-) Yours,
           Jon
