Might as well answer the question:
No, I wasn't there. Glad you enjoyed it though.

Must admit, gigs have been a bit thin on the ground for me this last year or so. However, I am glad I was able to see

Hooverphonic: one the last gigs before their singer left. Superb, wonderfully atmospheric gig. The stripped-down version of Inhaler they did at the end almost reduced me to tears, it was so beautiful.

Wishbone Ash: Surprisingly disappointing. Admittedly I had man-flu/swine-aids that night, but I thought most of the stuff sounded the same after a few songs. Would have preferred it if they'd played more of the early stuff (only one song off Argus? Really?)

Emily Loizeau: Absolutely fucking amazing. Has a compelling yet eccentric stage presence that only a crazy French woman could achieve. Live rendition of Fais Battre Ton Tambour sent shivers down the spine. Then she came and did the encore in the audience, barely six feet from where I was sat.

Only one off Argus?
that is weird.

Well, only one that I recognised
They did a very good job of The King Will Come. Don't think we got Throw Down the Sword, though I had to leave before the end so I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt and presume they saved it for the encore.

there are different lineups of Wishbone Ash out there, aren't there?
maybe one lot aren't allowed to play Argus numbers - one of them was playing it in full recently

Are there?
I wouldn't be overly surprised, actually, as I think the lineup I saw only contained the original guitarist/singer (Andy Powell? The bald geezer) and possibly one other.
