They were as good as ever (5th time I've seen them I think) and played a mixture of the new album and the greatest hits. They've been around for so long, and the only band who've been there right through my music/drinking lifetime. Just about everyone of their songs took me back to significant events in the past... The Only One I Know - dancing like gimps in Britpop, A Man Needs To Be Told - table football in Withington.
I think the last gig I saw in the UK was Charlatans in Salford and when they played Here Comes a Soul Saver, followed by One to Another then The Only One I Know, I was ready to go straight to the airport and get the first plane back to England. Either that or build a time machine to go back to SLAM c. 1995.
I think this is as good a time as any to officially sign off from this 'blog'. It's titled "Kiwi Adventures" and as I've been here for nearly 3 years, the adventures have turned into everyday life. Besides, I think I'm down to one reader per day on average and that's because I set it as my mum's homepage.
Thanks for reading and commenting and you'll be the first to know if I get the blogbug again in future.
OG.
