Re: Art Rock Lives!.....

["Paul Vearncombe" <vearn@wo...co.uk>]

Another apocalyptic Aeroplanes gig!  Good attendance from us lot - a brace 
of Pauls, a couple of Phils and a pair of Nicks.  Neville pinched the set 
list and even Nick Walters managed to get across town after seeing the 
Fall in time to enter the death zone.  Good showing from the band too - 
Gerard, Wojtek, Rodney, Jof, Max Noble, John Langley, Ruth Cochrane 
and...that other bassist...  Nice to see Hazel Winter in the audience as 
well.  They gave us a strange mixture of old favourites - ...And Stones, 
Yr Own World - and unusual choices - Lover and Confidante, Up in a Down 
World, Arriving.  They made a right hash of Treefull of Starlings, but it 
turned out well in the end.  All rounded off with Breaking in my Heart, 
which gave that bastard Hendry an excuse to kick the bejasus out of me in 
the mosh pit.  

Now it's time I played Gerard's new album LIT2, which I bought at the gig. 
 Blimey.  Must be Christmas.

  Hey Friendsloversplanes!

  Great version of Weightless!

  Firstly, it is always awesome to be in the presence of genius.

  Was the crowd maybe a little larger than last year? No apparent 'Fall 
effect'...did NW do the right thing I wonder? He'll let us know, for 
sure....

  missed all the supporting artists - would have been interested to hear 
Rage against Fuzz again, they were very interesting at the Cube, no...?

  Just saw jet-powered Blue Aeroplanes breaking the sound barrier over and 
over and over and again and again and again. I'm no good with titles and 
order but they started with Action Painting and (Cowardice & 
Caprice?)....'those were our first two singles, and they were both NME 
single of the week'...Right On Gerard! And hey, who would do a better job 
of sorting out the Third World d'you reckon - Bono or Gerard?

  2 from Rodney - Streamers and Fun. Merry Xmas! Fantastic natch.

  Jof on guitar & electric banjo - the banjo intro and all to 'And 
Stones....', just fabulous.

  John Langley is a wonderful drummer.

  Nothing from Rough Music, & only 'Broken and Mended' from Life Model

  Unplugged World View Blue

  We were making crow noises at the end of Cardboard Box, trying to make 
it turn into 'My Hurrivcane' - got to be worth a try

  Was that 'Gunning the Works' - 'Wojtek's favourite song' in the encore?

  Is that Ruth Cochrane cool or what....?

  Thunder. Thunder & Lightning!

  peace & love sisters and brothers!
