MessageYes, it was a great gig and party. It was definetely worth the long 
trip from Oslo. Nice to meet you all, the guys in the band, Nev and all 
the others.Nev, hope you like the 
Madrugada record.
Phil :The Planes also played 'Gunning the works' , one of the first songs 
as I remember.
And now we`re planning to get the band to Norway....

  I could write a short essay, but I'm busy at work, but it was great. 
Good venue, sound was a bit iffy but due to the soundman not the venue. 
Planes fans flew in from Norway, Holland and Germany and I endured a 4 and 
a half hour journey from hell to get theer (accident on M40) stuck in 
traffic having been diverted through High Wycombe I nearly gave up and 
turned back...the only think that stopped me was the traffic was as bad in 
both directions.....and boy was I glad I didn't...sparkling set, Angelo on 
fab form...because of the occasion maybe they seemed very relaxed and did 
a few extended and slightly alternative workouts of songs.....notably 
Angleo just rocked out on 'Frightened at Night' which seemd to go on for 
about 10 minutes and put a great echo 'wah wah' effect on '...and 
Stones'....full set with comment as follows....there was no Wortek but we 
made up for his absence and Nev got up on stage for the encore and danced 
like Tim Booth !

  Broken & Mended
  Pony Boy (strange to hear it so early...and given a more genlte melodic 
treatment)
  Spitting out Miracles
  Jack Leaves (this was a bit of a struggle to be honest...i've never 
liked it much and i went for a piss)
  Frightened at Night (It rocked!!!)
  Razorwalk ( got everyone moving)
  Colour Me (full throttle workout)
  Paper Plane (manic blurred wonderment...full force four guitar thrash)
  Tree full of Starlings (tie to get our breath back but lost the momentum 
of the night completely!)
  Jack Hangs ( good attempt at mood recovery....we got our swing back)
  Surreal Thing (excellent newy....I got my faith in you !)
  and stones.......(breathless thrash)

  encore

  Raise the Roof....(stonking big guitar heaven...should be a single and 
soon!)
  Fun (it was)
  Your Own World (jolly!)

  2nd encore

  Breaking in my Heart (words fail me, and they failed the band who 
resolutely refused to do the backing vocals it was left to nev - by now 
onstage with tamborine and Angelo to blurt out the odd 'Breaking in my 
Heart')

  We were al knackered at the end - got a great pic of Trevor and his son 
slumped against the monitors....moshing with your son - how cool is 
that.......

  Gerard mentioned before Raise the Roof - 'This is one from our new album 
due out later this year...and those of us down the front retored with a 
'yeah yeah' as if we believ that one Gerard ! - We shall see.....

  PS I got home to south london in 2 hours 45 mins.....380 mile round trip 
in one night ! But nothing when compared with the Norweigans who'd left at 
6am thursday morning to be there....
  PPS Nev videoed the whole thing........so the campaign starts here for a 
small scale DVD release ????
