Yes, they did 'War Sucks' on Saturday night too- 'Revolution' merged into it and it was very effective. I didn't mention it as I'm not familiar with the original, and thought maybe they were just improvising. Thanks for enlightening me. Cheers.

I saw them at the Boston Arms in Tufnell Park the night before, and although they eventually filled the venue - not too difficult as it's hardly 02 - the set had both high points and low points, with some sonic problems that I don't think were intentional. Nonetheless, as I went to the gig "equipped" (as it were) I still managed to enjoy a good three quarters of it. "Revolution" was indeed great, however, and they encored with a cover of the Red Crayola's "War Sucks" (also just as relevant now as when it was written), which was equally incendiary. Nice review.

I too missed the dry ice and the twin drummers but like you say still a good gig. Long may we climb the hill to worship at the temple of drone :).

That's an excellent review you wrote, too. I'm not too familiar with Judee Sill's work; as you say, she tends to be criminally overlooked in such supposedly authoritative tomes as Barney Hoskyns' 'Waiting for the Sun: the story of the LA music scene,' which I'm holding here now and she isn't even in the index! I shall make a note to investigate further. Take care, Ben Hi Andrew,
