Madrid, Spain @ Gruta'77 April 30

For those who do not know, Gruta 77 is the premier ROCK N ROLL haunt. It contains the best jukebox in Europe, its staff, DJ and patrons are well schooled and immersed in that which has shaped all to love of rock n roll, punk, glam, garage and goth. The stage sound and main mix are always tight, which continues to make me question why Gruta doesnt offer to record its shows. We've replaced SEDUCER with LIVIN on LIVIN in the set. A gush of generous and constant Air Conditioning was continuously piped onto front stage to accommodate the black clad, sea of patrons. I revel in AC although it was chronically drying up my vocal delivery of the tunes. Then it happened, the strobe lights added to the disorientation and euphoria, I went down backwards, draped over a stage monitor in front and then reclined. Slowly the crowd attempted to drag me over backwards by guitar into their depths. For encore we gave them METHOD to our MADNESS and NEW CHURCH in which I matra'd "WHO DO YA LUV??" incessantly over its BO DIDDLEY dressings. Depleted, the crowd still demanded more. STEVE "the Thruster" Murray broke into the DAMNED "NEW ROSE" which Dave turned into "NEAT NEAT NEAT" The crowd erupted, the strobes ignited, and by 2nd verse I donated the mike to the frontline to carry the vocals.
