OFF: summer 2003 (was Re: Hawkfest)

[gingoblin at EASYNET.CO.UK]

Killing Joke had Ted Parsons from Prong beating the skins. Did a great job.
Setlist was:

REQUIEM
TOTAL INVASION
WARDANCE
BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS
CHANGE
SEEING RED
FALL OF BECAUSE
TENSION
DEATH & RESURRECTION SHOW
THE WAIT
WHITEOUT
FRENZY
PSYCHE
ASTEROID
PANDEMONIUM

Top notch performance from start to finish. They're touring the UK in
October, and the States after that I think. Well worth catching.

Radio Birdman is sure to be another great show. Never thought I'd get the
chance to see 'em, so despite financial ruin fast approaching I'm going to
the two UK dates. Been a long time since they were last over over, so gotta
be done. I think it's original line-up, minus Warwick Gilbert. Apparently
there's a new album in the offing too.

The Stooges re-union sounded great! Maybe one day I'll get that one too!

cheers,
             Dave
