Felt very average the next day at work I have t say.Guru Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278263694181625188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8834650180392612393.post-8961803819122301902009-01-09T14:10:00.000+11:002009-01-09T14:10:00.000+11:00Did he have a drunk magician as his opening act. ...Did he have a drunk magician as his opening act.

I remember then the people with beers keep slipping over, and then at the end the floor was a mess of VB and lube? The other impression was that the toilet queues were insane and people were just saying 'bad luck' and whizzing everywhere, including the girls. It was the first time I'd ever seen a woman do the 'stand up and squirt' at the urinals.<BR/><BR/>The sound system was pretty poor and very loud so everything came through as a screech of noise, except when he slowed it down for 'Black Betty'. Good gig :)Ysambarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360071758069381121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8834650180392612393.post-24580736916169506242009-01-08T09:05:00.000+11:002009-01-08T09:05:00.000+11:00Totally awesome - shambolic, primeval, loud and he...Totally awesome - shambolic, primeval, loud and heaps of fun. They played a mix of old faves and new(ish) songs and kept the crowd pumped. We started off in the old fogey area and then tried to move closer.
