I think I prefer this tour's set list to the previous tour's one, especially for the bangers in the first half or so. Glad I avoided spoilers beforehand.
Yep Spyke, it was so great having those, as y ... |

Nice to see the band got a decent chunk of the show's runtime, with two songs and an interview. About time too! |

A Long Red Light is in my top 3 or 4 of the tracks on Mad! Like I-405 Rules, it taps into the brilliance of Lil' Beethoven while also taking things in new directions. But Red Light for me stands out ... |

I realise it's not the same role as a producer, but their work with film directors recently has brought a different dimension to their work. |

I voted for Sparks and Woofer. They're not my favourite albums out of all those listed, but I'd say they hang together better than the other pairings because of the band line-up and their pre-hitting- ... |

At the London Astoria gig in 1997, I remember a short film being shown straight after the main set when the band left the stage. It showed Russell berating Ron backstage (jokingly, I should make clear ... |

It was a really enjoyable evening. Rob Brydon was a lively interviewer, and I didn't realise he was already a fan. As Kermit! said, he didn't do a typical interviewer's routine, which Ron and Russell ... |
