Did they really not do raise the roof or up in a down world?

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

Coats

Jack Leaves and Back Spring

Fun

Yr Own World

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!
