My brother in law desperately wanted to go, and I'm always happy to oblige (The Tubes, and Wire previously!).Adrian Slatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946068316432524571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15916138.post-32322290481621971972009-12-20T04:15:03.648-08:002009-12-20T04:15:03.648-08:00Thanks for that Adrian, interesting read.

Relegating the musicians to backing-band status killed it for me 20 odd years ago I'm afraid.<br /><br />Both Wobble and, it turns out, Levene were up for doing new stuff as well as this tour. Having turned down that opportunity, for whatever reason, Lydon has condemned himself to has-been status as far as I'm concerned. Nothing wrong with nostalgia but it could have been so much more.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the gig though!undeletedhttp://smith3000.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
