Trev said that Angelo is wasted in Massive Attack.  I can only agree in 
part - I've seen Massive Attack live a few times and he certainly gets his 
moments in the spotlight.  Not the same as with the Planes, but he's an 
integral part of their sound live.

Great to meet you James (plse pm me I've lost your address - you wrote on 
a miniscule bit of paper which is probably lying on the floor of the 
Fiddlers mosh pit) - another fan of The Church.  How great must that 1990 
Church Gold Afternoon Fix Tour of the USA been with the Aeroplanes (circa 
Swagger) as support?It was good to meet Phil Hendry again too - watch out 
for his elbows!A great gig for sure - my best ever has to be Milton Keynes 
Swagger Tour 1990 just because it was the BA's heyday and my first sight 
of them which I will never forget - opening with Razor Walk and finishing 
with 'Breaking' and Angelo risking his life playing on top of the mighty 
PA stack...but this too was one of the better BA gigs.  Mainly cos of one 
thing - Angelo.  he is just a great guitarist - he really came to life 
during Warhol's 15 - he modestly stayed out of the limelight but you could 
hear him all the time playing these beautiful parts - he IS the  BA 
guitarist bar none.  Last time I saw him was at Nev's birthday bash gig in 
Shrewesbury.  As someone said to me during the gig - "he is so wasted in 
Massive Attack" - actually he looked pretty wasted on Friday too but it 
didn't affect his playing....And Gerard - how can you not love this guy?Oh 
- and respect to Sam Giles too - I managed to get number 2 of 50 of LIT 4 
and what a gorgeous package it is.  Gerard was enthusing about it before 
the gig and how right he was!Anyone out there got LIT 2 and 3 I can 
buy?Trev

       I got there thanks to a lift from Phil. Cheers!! Got home at 4am - 
tired but worth it!     Great to have the four guitar attack for most of 
the set.  With six for Breaking... Who was that extra guitarist?     Not 
seen the band sound this good since the early '90's heyday.  So good to 
have Angelo back, and great duelling between him and Rodders,  Also good 
to hear lots of pre-Swagger stuff live again     Someone was videoing a 
lot of the gig.  Anyone know who or what for?     Nice to meet people 
again (or for the first time)    Phil, PV1, Neville, Trevor, Abi (Are you 
gonna make those t-shirts for everyone on the list)?     So glad I went  
Thanks one and all     PS: I'm not sure if you can attach pics, but I've 
shrunk it right down so we'll see...     James           Sent from Yahoo!
