And so we wended our way to London town for a two night stand. Originally billed as a two set show, one featuring "Bladerunner Against The Empire", and a supporting slot from the Grateful Deadmau5 Experiment, the Deadmau5 section had rather bitten the dust at the Chatham soundcheck when confusion over whether a voltage transformer was included in the plug led to internal electronics designed for a cultured 110volt supply being introduced to some strident English 20volt supply with brief and blue-smoke-heralded results. The Bladerunner stuff also took a hike in favour of a straight JS show. There may have been some people upset about this, but I didn't hear of them.
It was a packed venue when the band kicked off, and it didn't get any cooler or more spacious for the next ninetysomething minutes. Luckily I had the DJ booth next to the soundboard in which to park myself and all my recording gear. (There were a lot of very good and helpful soundmen I encountered on the tour, but the guy at the Borderline, whose name I have so rudely forgotten, was especially helpful and produced a great mix).
This was a crowd who were happy to sing along with the slightly kitsch Count On Me, and responded enthusiastically to Cathy's call and response at the end of Miracles. This was a crowd who "got it". And how better to bow out on a second encore except with a rousing Other Side? A great show.
