>What a cracker of a gig, fantastic stage set, with a wonderful back

>great light show that washed everything with some enormous oil wheel

>whole space and made it far more intimate, Well done to all the crew there.
>Great to see Arin, Rich, Rob, Alan L & Alan Day ( how bizarre was that
>bumping into you man )

>Highlights for me were Psychedelic Warlords with a great Bass solo and a
>classic straight down the line Dave Brock guitar sound, swirlling round
>the building. In fact Dave was playing the guitar much more and was
>great to see him Solo'ing as well.
>Ode to a flower ? with a Bob Calvert backing track was just superb, and
>the dancers did a really cool job on this as well.
>The new material was fantastic and all adds more light & Shade to the
>procedings. To Love a Machine is my fav. Some really good Drum & Bass
>was blasting out during a number I can't remember, I was getting
>disorientated with the sound shifts across the stage.
>Brainstorm rocked & the 50's throwback special Brainbox Pollution got a
>great pummelling.
