This from Seamus Mullan
2 very different sets, but amazing each night – Robert was really pumped up & jokingly kicked the mic stand off the stage on Fri and very politely thanked the stage hand for returning it – this is the 3rd & 4th time I have seen him live with ss & he was genuinely blown away by the reception he received on each night (he replaced Eddie with Eamon on Sat night)
The Sat night went about 7 mins longer than Friday – sorry I cant remember the exact set lists but the order on Fri was totally different from the previous weeks’ orders and as for Saturday – it was amazing how many other songs he sang
I was lucky enough to meet Skin, Billy & John after the show – all really sound people & down to earth – I think Billy was surprised he was recognized!!

I last saw RP in 2002 at the Astoria in London, he was good then, but tonight was much better. I should stop referring to “him”, because it should be “they”. The Strange Sensations are now a cracking tight outfit. They should be I suppose, they’ve been together long enough!
Anyway, Percy was in excellent form. He cracked jokes and really enjoyed himself. The house rocked!
From a pure and selfish Zep Fan point of view WIAWSNB was awesome, Four Sticks was next.
The sound quality in the theatre was very good, but the band had a few problematic moments with feedback, which Percy referred to on one occasion. This culminated in him booting his own mic over during Hey Joe. At that point the rest of us were having our ears severely shredded by said feedback. Hey Joe (if you don’t already know) is the song in which Justin
provides accompaniment with a cricket bat!
