Glen
Matlock And The Philistines - September 8th 2005
The Rhythm Factory, London
My ears are ringing with the Philistines sound! Superb show last night. Always
good to see a top notch rock operation, tight as a thumbscrew!
Short set, as there were about 4/5 bands on the bill, but Glen & Co turned
in 30 minutes of wall-of-sound quality. There was a 9 camera video shoot capturing
the event for a forthcoming DVD on the life of........Dave Goodman! So the boys
were loving the cameras, guitars being thrashed, strings breaking, the works.
Songs I remember; OK Kiddo, Be Somebody, Idiot, Piece of the Action, and Whose
Side Are You On. Ray McVeigh must now be the most OTT "guitar slinger"
in town, couldn't quite hear his solos due to the sound, but it looked like
he was playing like a demon!
Made the other bands just look plain amateurish.
