yes, fantastic gig - really uplifting stuff. thought the sound man was being a bit timid at the start - the balance on raise the roof sounded a little quiet from where i was - but it all started roaring from then on.
i assume gerard starkie was 'the new rodney' - and he was excellent. the sound was tight and exciting, gerard langley was on great form, and the mix of songs seemed just about right to me (although i could also have coped without cavaliers part nine).
there were some absolute stormers in there - loved the beefed-up, faster days of 49, amongst many others - and enjoyed gerard's explanations about rodney's absence ('he's bought a house called honeysuckle cottage and he's paying off the mortgage. oh, and he's selling water').
great to see how much the crowd got into it all, and met a bloke from the emi art department afterwards, who had never seen the aeros live before and was raving about them. 

and gordon - nice to meet you and drink guinness with you.

  Yeah, Fabulous covers it.
Lost track (again ) after Raise the Roof, Up In a Down World, 88 Out, but 
Days Of 49 is just one of the best things ever included in a set by anyone
,anywhere, ever. To be followed by the appearance of Wojtek for Jacket
Hangs, well............

  If Carlsberg could make moshpits.....

  Gerard actually introduced the members. Nice One Gerard !
So it's Max Noble John Langley Gerard Starkey Juliain Poole and erm...... 

  but who are people calling the Rodney Replacement ? Not Julian Poole
surely.
  Really missed 'Careful Boy', honest.

  Picked up my copies of Altitude on the way to gig.
  Listening to it now.
On the train home, a brace of French fils were nattering away. Eyes closed 
I thought of Honey I from Life Model, and Beautiful Is is as beautiful as
that.
My speakers are fu*%d, but there is too much Dawn Larder on it, a shame to 
say, bearing in mind Star Below.

  Fabulous, as they say in London.
