First, there was the Placebo gig. It was very energetic: the crowd was jumping to the rhythm, piling into each other, and getting all hot and wet by the end of it. :-)
Because I'm a geek, I took the trouble to remember the track listing:
- Bulletproof Cupid
- Allergic (to thoughts of Mother Earth)
- Every you every me
- Protect me from what I want
- Plasticine
- The bitter end
- Sleeping with ghosts
- Black-eyed
- I'll be yours
- Special needs
- English summer rain
- Without you I'm nothing
- This picture
- Special K
Encore 1:
- Taste in men
- Slave to the wage
- Pure morning
Encore 2:
- Centrefolds
- Teenage angst
- Where is my mind?
I really liked the performance of Centrefolds, where the crowd was utterly silent for the long keyboard section (played by Stefan if I remembered rightly). And for Vered, the performance of Sleeping with ghosts had a fuck the government bit, complete with Brian doing the fingers. :-)
After the gig, I went to the cocktail/flatwarming party that P invited me to. I enjoyed this enormously, but I'm not posting details here. (Nor in a protected post; you'll have to IM me if you're curious. :-P)
This is how birthdays should be celebrated.
