I really sincerely believe that they weren't taking the piss and that
they tried to put on the best show they could.

Now what can I say - I'm in a quandry here.  I guess I was lucky
enough to sit in one of those 'hot spots' mentioned earlier and all
thru Saturday I knew I was going to see the Sunday so I guess I'm in
no position to pontificate.  BUT I do know a lot of people who were
disappointed in Saturday's performance - I can only put it down to a
degree of naivity on the band's part, and the fact they took a risk
with the arrangement they tried.  But in their favour - at least they
*did* try to do something unconventional and it did pay off in the end
altho I doubt that's any consolation to those who went to Saturday
only.

Apparently Stephen Wells came to the matinee and stood all through
with a sneer and folded arms.  A slagging awaits.  Whose side are YOU
on?
