WARREN ELLIS VIOLIN, KEYBOARD
JIM WHITE DRUMS
MICK TURNER GUITAR

Excellent gig, not the greatest recording. we had seats
too close to the overhead PA and it was LOUD (which is of course,
the point). The first song is recorded loud, I turned the mics down
at the start of song 2 when the doorkeep moved away a bit.
They wacked everything up again at the encoe as well. I reckon its
perfectly listenable with a bit of volume/equaliser adjustmebnts.
(check out the samples)

First time I've seen the band for a few years (this is the first tour
for a while) and they were a blast. IMHO the best band out of Australia
bar maybe, maybe, The Bad Seeds. Warren was all over the stage,looping
his violin whilst having a dance, having face to face stare downs
with Jim when the pair of them were merrily thrashing away.
Visually the show was outstanding...nice light show, great theatricals
and Warren was chatty all night and obviously very happpy.
I've split some of the banter from the songs so you can FF if you want
I couldn't work out were the segue was between "Rain Song" and".,.Ghost"
so I left it as one track but I think I got it right for the other two\
segues
The new album is outstanding, buy it at once.
