him: (after 3 songs) 'blue monday, blue monday
us: 'I should tell you, we're NOT going to play blue monday tonight'

us: (with time pressing) 'do you want us to play 586 or true faith?'
them: 'true faith!'
us: 'oh well...' (nevermind)
them: "look at the packet on that!"

notes: cracking audience - shared with the smyths. this was the 2 year anniversary of our first gig - also at the dublin castle, so there were a few nods to recognise that. though, will made sure his flies were done up this time. once again, it's great to have the opportunity to hear/play material that new order don't do. 'here to stay' was a joy to release again and we had debuts for the contrary 'state of the nation' and a fully realised 'confusion' - the latter bringing up our landmark half century of NO/JD debuts. that's quite a pool to choose from.
any other images etc gratefully received.
