Hi Mr Presley, Sir!.. Yes... I guess by severe and aggressive editing... and my better journalistic skills (honed over several weeks of in depth gig reviews) I can now face the challenge of how to give atmospheric reviews, on the printed page, that somehow encapsulate the energetic and vibrant buzz of a MIB gig in full flight... being of very limited and modest journalist talent (I write part time for 'Fulchester Ferret & Mongoose Review'... only £1.79p on Wednesdays) I feel that i have now reached my Zenith :lol:

I cannot believe how good this gig was! They were great in the cavernous Roundhouse, but even better in the small, sweaty confines of the Oxford O2 academy. Stunning! I was grinning all the way through and all the way home! Loved Sewer in particular but the rest of it? Well I've seen them 40-odd times and I'd say this was the best. Now checking the remaining gigs to see what I can get to!

I'm not paying £1.79, that's a disgrace :evil:

I'm starting to yearn for Pigeon's reviews... Obviously one side of the family wears rose-tinted specs all the time and the other has verbal diarrhoea.

And why is this thread in "general other stuff"? Is there no sense of organisation around this place any more? Stay in your room until it's tidied.

Another great gig but the crowd were dull as dishwater, myself and a few others tried to get them going but they just stood and watched(each to their own I suppose). :roll:
Wasn't has hot as it usually was which was a blessing, for me Relentless is the stand out track on this tour, it just gets better with each airing, Sewer again was fantastic.

Great meet up before and good to see Pauinlondon again. 8)

Few days rest then Bristol Saturday. ;-)

Agreed, Sir!
But in the papers defence, it is now 'digitally printed'... as opposed to it's previous incarnation as a 'hand potato printed' production, surely this alone warrants the price increase of 0.79p... I'm assured by our secretary Miss Able Mable, that in future issues to come... It will be stapled too! (a technological breakthrough!) :lol: :wink:

Kind Regards,
The Editor in Chief 'The Fulchester Ferret & Mongoose Review'
Mr Charlie McFarlie Esq.

PS. in view of your criticism, Miss Able Mable has offered to send you a home made 'Cream Bun' (sticky variety) :smt005
