were you not slightly surprised that they didn’t do anything off Green Mind or later?

I know it’s Lou returning to the band, and so I suppose it’s his era that they were concentrating on, but must have left a lot of the crowd slightly bemused….?

well, it didn’t surprise me b/c that’s how it was billed

the idea of the tour is to promote the 1st three albums which have just been reissued … but i guess if you hadn’t read any of the recent interviews w/the guys it could have left people confused/bemused …

were you surprised? were you there?

yessir! I was there!

I’d not read that much going into it – I think I’d seen a setlist on here from another show, so had an idea that it was going to be pretty much with the intention of plugging the first 3 being re-issued – but was surprised that nothing was played outside that era….

honestly, a setlist like that was pretty much ‘preaching to the converted’ in a sense of everyone who enjoyed the show will have been people like me who already have the first 3 albums (and have had them for 10-15 years!) – but hey….!

PS….

saw Teenage Fanclub and The Wedding Present this year too – both did a full mix of their work – (TFC wrote out a bunch of songs they wanted to do – and did it in reverse chronological order, which involved opening the show with their new album, in order, in it’s entirety (spelling?) – and then worked backwards playing 2-3 songs off every other album – a magnificent show, 1hr 45 long….) – so *maybe* it would have been nice if they’d humoured us and played a few songs of albums they were explicityly plugging….

but hey!

Yeah, but Lou wasn’t on it. It wasn’t unexpected to me that they’d only play the first three albums because it’s a reunion of the original line-up, not just another Dinosaur gig.

Dinosaur played it in the 90s, but I don’t think they ever played it when Lou was in the band.

Great show. I don’t think anyone should be surprised about the lack of newer material, that was the whole point of the tour really…? Its their best stuff anyway. Had a drunken debate with 2 guys in the Bull And Gate afterwards about this very point in fact.

Excellent night though, thanks for the set list. I thought i’d be a clever clogs and leave after Freak Scene for some stupid reason. After the Slint reunion show I thought they’d also be too cool for an encore, but I guess not. Oh well.

Highlight for me – The Lung. Awsome.

Also, did anyone buy one of those prints? I did and f**king dropped it on the Tube tracks by mistake on the way home. Arrgh!!!!
