He kicked off solo with a dylan cover (I'm not good on the title of these)
then was joined by Morris on marraccas for Television and Chinese Bones,
then Terry Edwards came onstage to play keys on Full Moon in My Soul and
Queen Elvis. I don't know what guitar he was playing but from the back it
looked rather nasty and didn't sound as good as the Fylde.
Kim and Paul Noble were called up, the telecaster was on and we got a solid
blast of 3 soft boys songs Do the Chisel, Kingdom of Love and Pig Worker.
The rest of the set was a mix of oldies I never thought he'd play again,
some staples from the soft boys tour, some covers, and a couple of recent
songs. They all seemed to be having fun "playing a bunch of good time tunes"
as he put it. I think it's just the band logistics and management that he
dislikes, the getting a bunch of mates together and cranking up the guitars
seems to agree with him.
An audience member called out "when's your next live album coming out" to
which he replied "Oh, you can get them all on the internet... in fact we've
already heard tomorrow's show, we know the setlist and what mistakes we'll
make".
Other songs played included...
Where are the Prawns, Listening to the Higsons, Leppo and the Jooves,
Dead Wife, Brenda's Iron Sledge (incorporating Funky Town), Night Ride to
Trinidad,
The Underneath (with added cornet), Jewels for Sophia, Swirling,
Staying Alive, Savoy Truffle, Up on Cripple Creek,
City of Women (first time I've heard this, and by golly it's good).

Went off to see Robyn last night expecting a low key slow and folksy
amble through the many delights that are to be found in Spooked and
sure enough it started off that way for about three numbers...then it
just became a wild stomp through many of the Egyptians finest
moments...Brenda's Iron Sledge, Leppo and the Grooves and a truly
stunning version of Staying Alive that blended into Listening to the
Higsons...Fabulously funny inbetween songs..what a treat.
I have not seen Robyn live for years, I am sure he did not have grey
hair last time but this was a wild and lovely evening...thanks to
Robyn, Maurice, Kimberely et al...

Hi all,
This morning I tried to write down the set list from last night but
my memory let me down. I've got the following list of songs but apart
from the first and last they're just in the order they came out of my
head. If anybody can put them in the right order and fill in any
omissions I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,
John
