I have to stick my hand up and agree about cavaliers... I thought it was 
much better live than i expected.  the only thing that fell flat for me 
was Tree full of starlings... But on Altitude i think it sounds great...

Subject: [Blueplanes] King  Tut's

I was slightly apprehensive about tonight's gig, not least as I had 
persuaded some BAs (almost-)virgin friends along. I thought that for the 
sake of nostalgia and duty to my long-lost younger self, I might have had 
to 
forgive them for a slightly embarrasing not-match-fit performance by some 
slightly middle-aged former art-rockers. Glad to say I was very wrong. 
They 
were quite a compelling balance of tightness teetering on the edge of 
joyful 
chaos. It has been many years since I flung my limbs around at a gig in an 
abandoned imitation of something remotely resembling "dancing", and it was 
great fun. My t-shirt will never be dry again.
The set was the same as for the Mean Fiddler (it's definitely Part 9 of 
Cavaliers, by the way  - and it's splendidly squally: don't believe the 
detractors!). As with any gig at King Tut's, it is obligatory to lament 
the 
appalling sound, although tonight was far from the worst I've known. It 
seems to me that the fewer people there are in the audience the clearer 
the 
sound is at this venue, and it was about half full tonight. Thus, for a 
band 
that pivots around Gerard's delivery, it's astonishing that that was the 
one 
thing that was consistently lost in the mix. If you didn't already know 
what 
he was saying, you would never have been able to work it out, for the most 
part.
Sorry I didn't manage to meet Nick - it was darker in there than I 
thought...

G'night all...

Phil (one of many)
