The Good, The Bad and The Queen - Leeds Irish Centre 29th January 2007


This gig will not make my top 20 this year, average at best. Support was provided by stilt walkers, jugglers, a music hall comedian and a bluegrass band! The band then rolled on at 21:30 and played the album start to finish, plus two encores. I found it dull, dull, dull. The redeeming factor was seeing Paul Simonen (ex Clash bassist) on stage. There were some good Sandinista! style drum / bass sounds but the actual songs did nothing for me. How this is currently #2 in album charts is beyond me.

Photo taken from the "Mani" bar, I presume. Only heard one track and, as you say, apart from the bass riff it was dire.
