Were the old songs pre 8o's as that's my bag, Sailors Tale, The Great Deceiver, Larks Tongues... etc?
 
In the halcyon days of the Mecca the DJ used to play their stuff, and you knew they were different, they were ahead of the game,although I never really got into them.
Loved 21st Century Schizoid Man and Epitaph. Did they ever play The Mecca in those days I just can't recall?

This was their first British "tour" for 30 odd years ,they've never done anything since I got into them in the 80
Playing again tonight well worth a trip if tickets left

I can't comment on John but I know Leven through Kc and a few others and he isn't fast and flash but technically superb on anything he picks up ,fret less, stick,stand up bass etc
We all said he was the glue last night ,best I've seen him and I've seen him a lot

Oh...don't get me wrong....Levin is class. I'm sure he was playing "stick" on the first Peter Gabriel tour I saw (1977/78?).
