3 am.  Top job.

'25 kinds of love' it is. It's too many; it's not enough. You're right I think about the contribution from Rita Lynch on that. Very tidy.

Also enjoyed the whole guitar shop look to the thing, where despite Rodney's Rickenbackers, Angelo won again with a quite gorgeous and beautifully amplified and mixed f-hole Tele.

My recollections of the set list are always coloured by the fact that I can't remember it. And the order is very blurred again. Anyone help?

Broken & Mended
Warhol's 15
Tree Full of Starlings
Outdoor Miner
Weightless
... and Stones
?  Something else around here

25 Kinds of Love
38 Divinity
Jacket Hangs
Bury your Love like Treasure
Breaking in my heart



I hadn't realised that Stockhausen had died. Hmm. I also don't know how next year's being a leap year affects the calculation.

Fantastic gig! Best line-up I've seen for years - great to see Angelo, Rodney and Dave back in the fold! Not forgetting Wojtek of course! Good to see that time hasn't slowed him down the way it has me!

Thanks to the guy outside the gig who sold me his absent mate's ticket for a fiver!

Karlheinz Stockhausen said: "We should listen to old music one day a year and the other 364 days we should listen to now music." Since he died today I reckon it was pretty apt to see the Aeros - even if they played more the one day than the 364.

For me, Angelo made the gig tonight - "Weightless" being a particular high - even if he couldn't quite remember how to get into "...And Stones" in one pass! And the one new track sounded great - possibly "25 pounds" - with Rita Lynch sharing vocal duties with Gerard L. Other highlights were "Warhol's Fifteen" and a fantastic version of "Police (38 Divinity)" without the backing tapes but with 5 full on guitars hitting "that" chord over John L's best pounding beat!

Angelo also managed to play the entire intro to "Breakin in your heart" in the wrong key - so when everyone else came in it sounded like they'd got it wrong - but we'd forgive him anything for the solo in ".....and stones"! I heard someone in the audience shout "who's that fucking guitarist and where have you been hiding him?" and the answer came back from stage left "That's Angelo - usually we can't afford him", which made me laugh.

Surprisingly little from "Altitude" tonight.

After the side projects of "Harvest" and "Lit 4" I for one can't wait to hear some new material from the Aeroplanes! On tonight's evidence they rock!

Cheers!
