What can I say, a very pleasant surprise, the gig really did kick ass... and nary a complaint was heard, other than about the t-shirts (which I like!)...
Upon arriving "En Suisse" I made my way upon a clean and efficiently run train to Bex...My terror at such a surreal form of transport was soon assauged by the stunning views of snow capped Alps all over the ruddy shop as I arrived in the tiny town, and went for a wander... Hotels, meetings, vodka, taxis and hire cars ensued for the next 24 hours...but none of that is particularly relevant to this forum......so...... We arrived at the site about 9.00pm to be greeted by a rather small, but seemingly efficient set up, the main stage tent took around 3-4000 as far as I could work out. Some standing and gibbering then occured as we waited "for the next one to arrive..." (Sorry)... Smoke, lights, and then erm, Lucretia! As I started seeing the sisters in 93, this was a first for me, and it was blimmin great... the remainder of the setlist has been posted elswhere, and I was far too f**ked to remember, but it was fair mayhem like down the front, just as I like it (though I did get told off a couple of times...). The set overall wasn't hugely different to the last couple of years, but Neverland was a great addition and worked really well live (we can but pray for "Driven..." but I doubt it) none of the new tunes mentioned of late, but it was a fairly short affair of about an hour and a half... the band seemed to be in a good mood, and the lights were cool... a good time had by all as far as I could work out....encores... and some stuff happened, then I fell over...thank you and goodnight!!!
