    Things of note about the gig.

    Back to eight songs at this gig, I don't know why.
    Recorded the soundcheck from the mixing desk.
    This was my second attempt at recording a soundcheck from the desk. The first was in Copenhagen when I nearly blew all the speakers by causing a feedback loop.
    The mixing desk guy was not happy so I'm surprised I got another chance.
    He wasn't very happy with me anyway after Brussells when the band (well Barney) decided to piss in the windscreen washer bottle on the van and then point the washers out sideways so they could spray people.
    I might have pressed the washer as we drove past the mixing desk guy.
    He later came into the venue at speed with the intention of killing me.
    I did the honourable think and ran like fuck. He looked like a big version of Grizzly Adams.
    He calmed down after about a week

  3. The man that looked like Grizzly Adams would have been my cousin as his nickname was Griz for that very reason and he was working for NO [with OZ PA] at the time. He passed away in 2009, thanks for that! R.I.P Griz.
