Re: Friday's gig, Bristol

Thanks from the Netherlands for keeping us in the loop.

There is a setlist on setlist.fm: 
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-blue-aeroplanes/2021/fleece-bristol-england-2b8ba0f2.html

I don’t know whether it is accurate.

Best wishes,

Hi, non-facebook flp's

 

Spent most of today defrosting my freezer, ready for a fresh bout of 
omicrom-lead panic- buy hoarding, for Christmas, fer crissakes, so had 
plenty of time to reflect on Friday evening's gig at Fleece (est. 1982).

For the benefit, or chagrin, of those flp's Stateside, or in Netherlands, 
Norway, or elsewhere, that were not able to make it, a brief report from 
one that could, according to the old fashion on this forum, and as I 
witnessed it......

Arrived 9pm to find them already into their second song; by ancient 
experience this therefore amounted to a 'matinee' performance, so I was 
all at slings and arrows for a while, so cannot accurately recite the 
Set-List, just took it in....

Presume they opened with 'Jacket', or otherwise this was maybe the first 
gig since 1989 they hadn't played it ? The tribute to Pat Fish was well 
observed, though I am trying to find the song.

Boy in the Bubble was high octane; 'Beatsongs' was pretty well observed in 
it's 30th Anniversary, 'Colour Me' got unmasked audience participation, 
'Fun' reminded me that Rodney was a missed anchor for a few years. I liked 
his 'Days of 49' as well. I took 'Jack Leaves' home with me for Eyvind, 
who won't be there again.

Only one song from the long awaited new album (next spring, maybe???), but 
'And Stones' got it's familiar treatment, Mike, Bec, Chris and John giving 
it a right going-over. Contrarily, of course, they finished the main set 
where I would always have them start it, with 'Broken and Mended'.

There was not the space on stage for me to take my banjo up for 
'Breaking', and I'd left it in London anyway, but you get my drift........?

When everyone that can make it to these December gigs do, and those that 
generally can't, also do, they will need to play the Colston Hall (Ooops 
!) to fit us all in.

Season's greetings, flp's. G
