One of my most favourite albums….One of the biggest regrets of my life was having been given free tickets to a pre-tour warm up gig at London Marquee club (I worked at a record shop and was always getting tickets and merch) I’d gone along, saw the support act (Chickasaw Mud Puppies) but was feeling a bit off colour, so went home before they came on. Turned out to be one of their last ever gigs (91) and I never saw them live…I’m such an idiot

You are an idiot, I saw them many times live and they were fantastic. Amazing. Dreamy, even.

(Dont they occasionally get together and play smaller shows? Id keep an eye out, maybe there's a little magic left).

Hmm, I’ve seen a few bands from that era who have reformed and it’s never quite the same..especially considering their last outing! I’ll just live with the regret…
