now that was trippin' balls awesome, there was me and 59 other people and gordon ripped it up like there was 20,000. lone pigeon returns. didn't play any beta band but they did a wicked medley at the end that included she loves you and helter skelter. he hung around the merch table chatted with the ladies, signed my friends cd, told the story of his illness in minor detail.....he was awesome. if the aliens are coming to your town see them. it was only $13.50.

Did they play their cover of Setting Sun? How was Robotman live?

they opened with setting sun. robot man was awesome, gordon anderson is really small but he can groove. he disappesared and came back with a pair of sunglasses and a headlamp(kinda like a miner's light) and the glasses were like one slit sorta things and he jumped around doing robot poses it was pretty awesome. i wasn't aware setting sun was a cover, who did the original?

You know I could have swore it was a song from the sixties, and I can't remember for the life of me who it's by.

Now I am worried I am completely wrong. No matter.

well gordon was the writer of the three ep's before "getting ill". the aliens album is solid, the live show was fuckin' amazazing. decide for yourself. i like "setting sun" and "the happy song" and "robotman". but the album flows really well, kinda like a graqndaddy or SFA album, better as a whole, IMO.
