Criticism? How did 'Revolution Number 9' go down? Here's a review that was posted to VegetableFriends: The Saturday night White Album Against War gig was f*cking phenomenal. The pub was tiny, there was no stage (as such), just an area about 20ft x 10ft where 3-quarters of the Soft Boys plus various other special guests did a, quite frankly astonishing live version of 'The Beatles' album. Robyn wore a polka dot b&w shirt and bright green cords. Between song banter was kept to a minimum but he did go off at a tangent occasionally. He also sang some of the songs in a hilarious/frightening (delete as applicable) Viv Stanshall baritone. Morris sang on 'Don't Pass Me By', Barry Wom stylee. Kimberley's playing (and grinning) was awesome. The whole thing was so good I can hardly believe I was there. Highlights for me were 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun', 'Piggies' and 'Savoy Truffle' and 'Long, Long, Long' although I am a bit of a Harrison freak. Revolution No. 9 was an absolute scream, with about 10 people on stage (+ a laptop) and Robyn attempting to conduct via a cue sheet of all the required sounds and at what point they should be heard. It was actually quite disturbing, as was Adam Buxton's Ali G impersonation at half time, but we won't go into that... You can work the set list out yourselves. DP03. Would love to hear more--anybody else go? Pictures? Recordings?? Roberta ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 19:21:06 -0700 (PDT) From: Jeff Dwarf Subject: Re: unreap?

Well, if Mission of Burma can pick up 20 years later pretty much where they left off.... ===== "'Bushworld' is sort of an alternate universe where things are the opposite of what they seem.

It's not actually out of print or hard to find -- you can buy it online for around $15-20 many, many places. That said, there are probably a lot of you that don't have a copy, and I have two. First Feg who responds to this offer gets it. All I ask is that you PayPal me $2 for postage, and I'll take it over to the post office today and get it in the mail pronto. Send me your address, I'll confirm you were the first respondent, then you Paypal the postage and it'll be on the way. ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V13 #229 ********************************
