Saw Damo Suzuki live a few days after the recent JUlian Liverpool gig, thereby getting myself a reputation as someone who just goes to watch aging men with flowing locks and facial hair, albeit ones of the fruitcake dept...

I'd heard someone rave about a recent Manchester performance, but it didn't quite cut it for me. I know this is unfair, but the young band weren't exactly Can (who is?), and for every exciting moment in the three VERY long numbers they performed, there were longish passages of musical nothingness. Still, it's not every day you get to see some old Japanese legend shout incoherently into a mic over discordant riffs for an hour and half. And there were SOME really good bits.

Still - on a heartfelt note - when a smiling and emotional Damo walked into the small-ish audience at the end and shook hands with it's individual members, it was a genuinely beautiful moment.
