I missed this thread. But I saw them In manchester in March, No support.... just 3 hours of non stop fucking brilliance. Opened with like, 10 minutes of randomness and then into Roulette Dares. I forget alot of the rest of the set, but about 45 minutes in, at their first break, Cedric called for people to come over the rail and watch from the stage because they didn't like being so far from the front of the audience. So me and my mate hopped over, because nobody seemed to think it was for real, and got to, with about 50 other people, sit around Ced on stage, like on that old black and white Led Zep vid.... for a 25 minute version of Goliath.

It was insane.

They finished with Drunkship of Lanterns, played pretty much all of Bedlam and Cygnus, Baphomets, Meccamputecture, The whole of Cerpin Taxt, and Eunuch Provocateur, off Tremulant. I forget the rest, and they more or less improv'd from one song to another the whole time. Omar can make his guitar sound like fucking anything, Cedrics voice can finally get them high notes live, and the rest of the band are just insanely good.

They are playing in England tomorrow night, and I wish to fucking Ganesha I could go!
