Sinister: Are You Festive? (I)

[David Moore]

Hi All,

Sorry for delay in Reporting Back. Obviously the people who went to the
Glasgow gig are just SO uncool. Or possibly they only got near a computer
this evening. And they may have been too busy spending the last four days
getting pished with videostars & popstars to think about posting. You know,
You Have To Stop Living To Start Writing.

Did someone ask for a setlist? if so, here comes a scan:


Here Comes The Sun
There’s Too Much Love
Magic Of A Kind Word
Turn, Turn, Turn
Alone Again Or
Creeque Alley
Baby
Judy & The Dream Of Horses
Dirty Dream Number 2  *
Cool For Cats
Orangutang
Space Oddity
The Boy With The Arab Strap
The Fox In The Snow
O Come O Come Emmanuel
Dylan In The Movies
Time Of The Season
The Wrong Girl
Sleep The Clock Around
The Boys Are Back In Town

Go off. Wait for lots of applause. Come back and do .....   +

Merry Xmas (War Is Over)
Legal Man  *
Lazy Line Painter Jane
Everyday People  *


(* They didn't actually get around to playing these. The last two probably
got deleted due to the lengthy raffle drawing/prize distributing process)

(+ cheeky Orang-utans!)


No songs by Free. This unnecessary for most listees I'm sure but anyway:

Here Comes The Sun = The Beatles, Turn, Turn, Turn = The Byrds (or Pete
Seeger before that), Alone Again Or = Love, Creeque Alley = The Mamas &
Papas, Baby = Gal Costa, Cool For Cats = Squeeze, Orangutang = Serge
Gainsbourg, Space Oddity = David Bowie, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel = a rather
complex provenance according to my copy of Hymns Ancient & Modern!, Time Of
The Season  = The Zombies, The Boys Are Back In Town = Thin Lizzy, Merry
Xmas (War Is Over) = John Lennon.


A fantastic gig - not sure yet if the best of the 9? I have attended but
nonetheless everso very special, because of the choice of songs
played/covered, the atmosphere, the party pieces, the good cause it was all
for. I think a more detailed description may have to wait for later, for now
I'll just say that I spent a fantastic (or should that be fandabidozie (sp?)
seeing as its the panto season) few days in the city of Glasgow due in no
small part to lovely Belle And Sebastian but also to the lovely residents
who looked after me & the other people visiting from down South.


Carey Lander is as wonderful & kind as she is gorgeous.


Love & Christmas wishes to all,

David Moore
