.......well the joke impressed the hell out of me!
the boys seemed to be in terrific spirits,really
enjoying themselves sadly,this was my first time catching them live [jaz
mentioned onstage that 1982 was their last vancouver appearance] and all i
can say is holy fuck! jaz was really talkative between songs ,commenting on
the illegal election and the illegal war,9-11,our neighbours to the
south,blair,"hell is made up of people with no opinions",international/large
corporations. as i said,he had alot to say,sure someone else could add more.
large turnout,club was packed,not sure of the numbers.people even tried
singing along to "asteroid" ! [jaz::"now it feels like home"] geordie and
raven seemed to be having a great time,exchanging looks and laughing all
night.
