He kicked off solo with a dylan cover (I'm not good on the title of these) then was joined by Morris on maracas 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 in between 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
