Do pardon my absence but I've been a little busy. Made the trip to Ireland to see PIL last weekend. Great show. Setlist was largely the same as previous concerts since their reformation but with the addition of a couple of rarities (it was great to hear Acid Drops live).
This Scott Firth is a talented fella, starting to notice him a bit more in the line-up. Lu sported a beard not dissimilar to someone out of ZZ Top, and John was his usual self; full of energy and venom. The venue itself was quite nice too, not very big but nicely spaced.
You see, as much as we all adore the Pistols, I think John comes alive more in PiL. They have to do a new album because the current line-up is the strongest they have been for a very long time. With everything John has been through lately, and if the subject matter is tranferred into song form, it has the potential to be their best album yet.
With a few of us getting signatures (I got a few bruises and a hangover to boot), it was a good night. Next gig is Blondie at Somerset House, followed by Lou Reed and The Stooges and Hop Farm.
