Exactly. But for that reason I don't find it strange at all that the
participants thought it was a disaster (especially Lemmy). I mean.
you could pretty much predict what he would say about it!  I'm not
surprised Dave hasn't exactly gushed about it either. Musically and
organizationally, it was a _stupendous_ disaster. That much was
plainly visible on the night.

But I didn't go there expecting a great musical experience, I went
there expecting to see a bunch of Hawkalums. I went there to see
Dave, Lemmy, and Nik on stage. (And I figured Bedouin would be cool ;)

And I got what I expected, and so I was perfectly happy. It was cool :)

Had I been going to see any regular band though, I would have written
them off as completely unrehearsed! Which would have been fair.

Cheers,
Carl
