I'd been waiting for this gig for a long time after the last one was postponed due to Genesis P-Orridge's illness. Thankfully he has recovered enough to do a couple of European dates (London and Berlin) but these could also be the last time we see Psychic TV tour.
The evening opened up with Libra Libra putting on a crowd pleasing set. They have a unique sound blending lots of influences and their singer Beth Cannon has a very powerful and versatile voice. It's so nice to see an energetic support band giving it their all and truly warming the crowd up. I'll definitely be checking them out more after this.
After a short break the venue had really filled up and it was time for Psychic TV to hit the stage. I've seen them many times before but tonight they were taking no prisoners. This was a tight set, Gen showed no sign of illness and was pretty much spot on for the entire gig. OK he can't jump around like a looney anymore but he can sure put on a damn good show.
The set list ran like this:
New Sexuality
We Kiss
Burning The Old Home
Alien Brain
White Nights
Just Like Arcadia
Jump Into The Fire (Harry Nilsson cover)
After You're Dead, She Said
Encore:
Suspicious
Mother Sky (Can cover)
Here's most of White Nights
What a fantastic night, introduced to a great new band and Psychic TV smashing it out the park in the company of an old friend!
