Brighton 24/10/08
 

A show of two halves, no break point obvious.

A 90 min set which after a point seemed to be "let's get off the stage" ... something happened?

While I took a loo break my friend notices a paramedic presence and short time after somebody was taken away on a stretcher... I'm not sure if this had anything to do with things but it seems like the venue was closed at their choice... 10:30 all the bars are closed, prettymuch at 11PM full lights come up and no encore. Tickets were advertised until 12...

I couldn't give you a set list right now but as far as I know 2 new numbers were played.. never heard them before

Aye, T'was a little... still danced my ass off though. :D

Hey Spooky

Pearls Girl wasn't in there, but I remember it as this:

Crocodile
New Track \o/
Cowgirl/Rez
Jumbo
Silver Boots with lyrics
TMO
Born Slippy (original)
Nuxx
Moaner

Don't think I have missed anything. I thought the set was pretty short for an "Own Show" too. Also Phil Hartnoll was on the running list to play before them, but he didn't (although his crew seemed to be messing about with the DJ set-up for a while after 9pm - that DJ was great, btw.)

Hope the stretcher wasn't for any of the UW crew :(

Hey BB,

I'm easily confused at the best of times..I think it was when Karl was shouting out some of the lyrics that got me on that.

Looks about right to me.

I went in just after 9 so missed Phil.. :(

The term my friend used was "Some girl", so I doubt that it was a member of the crew.

good to see Silver Boots was played. I hope they'll play it next weekend too :)

Re: Brighton 24/10/08
 

I can tell you that the setlist was actually this below because I saw it:

Crocodile
Strumpet
Rez/Cowgirl
Jumbo
ALAF
Spoonman
Push Upstairs (*)
TMO
Born Slippy
New Train (*)
Beautiful Burnout (*)
Pearls Girl (*)
NUXX
Moaner

Notes:
Strumpet is a new song features Karl playing bass guitar and singing ("There is one bird in my house")
New version of Silver Boots (on the setlist it was Always Loved A Film or actually A.L.A.F.) with lyrics ("Hey boy... Can you feel it?"). Karl also played guitar on this track.
Pearls Girl _was_ in there. It just didnt get played :(
PU / Train / BB / PG didnt get played. This is probably because this was a "festival" gig and they were limited to finishing at 11pm. It was a 90 minute set starting at 9.30pm sharp. The venue plainly wanted people out as the bar was closed (10:40pm) when I made my obligatory toilet call during NUXX (tip: toilet is always empty during NUXX :p).
Videos of Strumpet/ALAF might show up at the other place.

Thanks Stimpee

Good stuff it was too...

My next door neighbour is one of the bar staff and they were expecting it to go on until 12. The Brighton City Festival site still has it advertised as 12. The steward that I spoke to was expecting the bar to be closed after 11 and after the show the cloak room was a little chaotic because the stewards plan for the evening didn't have them scheduled there for another hour. I could conclude that the venue didn't know UW were finishing at 11 which can only be down to a lack of communication somewhere.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed it and now wish I was going to the Brixton gigs. :D

I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for a DVD...I can dream


I've got to ask, is there a "Dirty Meet/ No Spooky Shoes" club? :eek:
