Disgruntled at having to do a gig in a venue he expressly didn’t want to play, RF is anything but a happy gigster and don’t his mates know it![endtease] “For myself, it is certainly hard trying to play a gig when one of the guys really doesn't want to be there” says Trey. ”I think, as group, we played quite well… But it was definitely a case of going 'up a hill backwards',tonight.” Not surprisingly, there are a couple of tracks that sound distracted; delivered but not as full-on as you might hope for. Nevertheless, there's plenty to keep one happy. A version of Frying Pan, which thanks to the eccentricities of the soundboard mix, sounds like it's being covered by Nirvana; Improv I (excerpted on HC)contains a terrific solo from Adrian who later in the set even whips off a snippet of ITCOTCK; whilst an extremely playful Improv II provides the set-up for Cage; they even sound like they're having fun. Well, almost. “Adrian: What did you think of tonight? Robert: At the moment I'm radically re-evaluating my life as a working musician.”
