Re: BluePlanes Digest, Vol 137, Issue 4

I was there at the front! Having read posts about Glasgow, Gerard being 
less physical or at least more tentative was expected; but he seemed to 
return to his old self as the gig went on.

The big unexpected appearance was Jedrzej for ‘Tolerance.’ He belted it 
out! And he’s almost as nimble as Wojtek.

I really hope that December date is being reserved for the Christmas gig.
