I didn't think the London gig was too loud (but then again I'm a deaf oul' bastard these days), but some of the mixing was a bit, um, wayward - the ladies' microphones being louder than Ginger's for a couple of the songs, for example.
But that minor gripe aside, I thought it was an excellent gig. Cracking set list, and a band that seems to have become very tight very quickly - Jon Poole especially seems to be revelling in being Ginger's nutter-in-chief onstage, and I can't remember a single mistake.
Also, isn't it amazing how some songs grow on you once you've hear 'em live a couple of times? I didn't like My Friend The Enemy at all when I heard it on VDC, but now I've heard it as nature intended, I can't stop listening to the damn thing.
