Subject: Black Eg
re the black eg.
I suppose I'd better chip in with my tuppence-worth since I asked in
the first place.
I reckoned it was OK in a way:
Good bits:
Emil in his wheelchair. (Was it Emil?)
Say it. Emil is no pig.
Those egg heads.
The Czechoslovakian thumbs-up.
The fact that the audience appeared to like it.
" " " " " " " " " swallow it whole.
The barman was quite amusing.
Bad bits:
Repetitious
Not much bass or tune to recognise except for that "Filth"
bit (I'm told)
The Night Bus back
Actually, the biggest disappointment was that they actually tried to
make it kinda dancy and they didn't try and repeat the Black Eg album
tracks. I would have gladly paid twice as much to see the genuine,
original Eg material rather than what turned out to be a mediocre
techno attempt by people wearing silly egg hats. Particularly in that
club, to that audience. I guess that's sort of implied by the lists
above.
I suppose it's astonishing that it happened at all and for that we
should be grateful. Glad I went to see it... honestly.
> It was interesting to see some faces to a few of the names on this
> list.
Yeah... would have been even better if I could have heard a word
anyone said to me all evening.
> The show was recorded
so what's the betting the bottom few acts on the bill will never see
the light of day? eh?
