(That badly anyway) Actually, the big fuck-up was that Jian repeated the car part instead of the train part, which screwed up Dave so bad he started up again after Not the Beatles. They stopped after "I do not like GREEN EGGS HAM!", when they realised they hadn't mentioned the hippies in Ottawa. Jian just stood there for a long time looking completely bemused and then finally started at the train part again. Later, he stalled again at "And to accompany this fine taste" Dave tried to help him along by prompting "Martian Ham?" and I yelled "Pork From Space!" from the crowd after another pause. :) > King of Spain (The big black King of Spain) > Fame > Golden Years > On Broadway > New Pollution (with lyrics by Mike Ford.

You know, performers got free beer that night ;) just felt like commenting on your extra-long review. Good one! My own review will soon follow (I think).
