Tonight we were treated to an amazing group of percussionists who came and raised the roof with a pulsating river of beats that got EVERYONE up and dancing. I can tell you - it didn't make it any easier having to play straight after such a brilliant performance, but at least they sure had the crowd revved up for us The Falling Rocks afterwards.

Slotted to perform at 10.45. Turned up at 9:30. Ended up performing close to 12 or later. Performed Ventilator, Little Queenie and Miss You, then Like A Rolling Stone, with Ben and Tim plus other Ben on Bass backing us up. Was pretty good overall, but there were many sound problems. Mics were failing, the foldback was out of action, and the left speaker was hardly working. Mum and Cybele (and Kathleen) came to visit but couldn't stay until we performed. Introduced mum to Tohe and others. In the end stayed till 3am and jammed briefly with Dave F and Karl before catching a taxi home.
