and calm.....

Lots of daring do tonight... Long jams, a wink and a nod, improvisation to
the max.... The captain was having fun !

It opened with a very long Shouldn't Do That, straight into Lord of light ,
showing the guys still rock like the proverbial three legged pig.
Angels announced the fact that two basses are better than one, and the new
tunes show there is at least another album coming from these guys ( 2 new
tracks), Tim played a beautiful number, no name given...
John Sevink (levellers fiddle) played the night out, adding the extra 7th
dimension to Brockie on guitar & synth, Tim, lead man,synth and theremin,
Dibs bass and synth, Rich drums, and Niall nailing bass, lead and synth
duties....

Brainstorm was frankly trip-tastic, very long and utterly levitational...
Niall's guitar was Larry Wallace - Pink Fairies Psychedelic Review ( 25th
anniversary gig) echo-tastic, Ohhhhhhh it was hot...

Finally the band gave us Better Believe It as an encore - 2 hours of the
mighty wind at their most relaxed, improvised and utterly spellbinding....
Now where's my Glastonbury ticket, these boys need to mix it with the rest
of the music business, failing that "Jools, stop playing that soul shite,
and play some music that still grooves after all these years"
The new stuff really does need a wider audience, the crowd tonight certainly
showed that validity, I'm starting to look like one of the oldies !!!!!

BTW first gig i saw was in '79 and they played Robot, tonight Robot  
was pure mindblowing Krautrock in the vorsprung dirk technic method   
awesome - Bob really would have approved !

Australia - I hope you've got you're cabinet key !!!!!

Blissed out of Bristol !!!!!!
