[Alias]

TBC fails to master the renounded Devo/Metallica "Devil-Sign", while those sixteen E's finally kick in for Bez.

Great stuff guys, wish I was there etc...

Nice to see big Rodders going for it again.

Rodder's striptease during Nice 'N Sleazy has got to be the funniest thing I've ever seen at a gig.

Rodders and TBC on stage during Something Better Change was another highlight,with TBC lapping up his few minutes of fame as the new JJ.But Baz,try and shout "change" into the mike in time with the music next time.

Half of the audience must have been forum members and most of those were at the front going bonkers.

With the amount of stripping that was going on at the front it was sometimes hard to tell whether you were at a music concert or at a mass Roman orgy.

Thanks to all the people who made it a great night out.

Let that be a lesson young man...ALWAYS do your reviews on WORDPAD or in an email first. Unless, you didn't really make a lengthy review and you're just making that up for sympathy.

T'was great to see everybody again, (was Preston really THAT long ago?) nice to meet a few new people, Villain and another lady, (so sorry I've forgotten your name-you were with Joni and Simon) and hadn't seen Nick for awhile, always up for a nice little chit chat.

The all male strip show was a sea of a dozen fleshy torso's, Rodders went all out tho, nobody's had the nerve to post his meat and veg that he was swingin around, I would, but my camera connection to the pc is on the blink at the mo!

The band were fabulous as usual, in high gear, Sweden got a great reception, that was a nice surprise, and to be real, part of the gig was a bit of a Shmirnoff Icy blur at times and the last bit was spent trying to dodge a quite tipsy lady forumster wearing brown Docs (yes BROWN!) who repeatedly stepped on my feet. . No real harm done tho, I can still walk......with a limp.

Nobody mentioned a Spinal Tap moment for the BUTsters. As we realized the gig would start in about 10 minutes, we went to make our way into the 'hall', which was kind of in a separate building behind the booze garden but still connected to the main building, so as we started back inside the pub to go out the side door, we were all following someone, then realized the place was kind of like a maze, and we all filed out after hitting a dead end, everyone saying 'its that way' turned around and hit another dead end, then were told it was right behind us, behind all the trashed fridges and the tiki gate....well, you had to be there to see the irony of it.--someone else can explain it....but it was very funny.

The local paper had in the club listings that 'Jeff Leopard' were playing, so some local punters had arrived expecting a different band! I hope some of them stayed for the show though, and got a proper gig!!

Kebabs and very slow lonnnnnnnnnng goodbyes afterwards rounded off a lovely night. Thanks to my trusty neighbour for the safe trip over to B'ham.

Heard later that Shaggy and Casey were stranded on the motorway with a flat tire 50 miles from Sheffield! After all the love they'd given us, what thanks is that from Karma? They didn't get home til 5:30 but apparently just in time for early bird breakie.



Til the next time!

Thanks to all concerned for another great night, band were on top form as usual and great to meet up with old friends and some new ones as well.

I cant believe the evidence in some of the pics I am normally so shy and retiring It's amazing what a couple of beers can do to a man!!
