This incarnation of GONG is a really cool one, I liked this show as much as the 2009 tour with Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage & Gilly,...
They're self-conscious enough to drop most of the Camembert/Teapot repertoire and play their recent material instead, adding some yet unreleased stuff.

A setlist photo from Italy (sep 3rd) provided the titles of the new songs, they played same set every evening since then.

Aaaand... sorry friends, but Kavus Torabi kindly asked the people, not to share "The Pan-Galactic Suite" before its release, and who am I to disappoint this friendly guy. The "Selene"-portion however doesn't add much to the 1971 version, so I think it's okay to give you at least this one. Additionally, someone had not been as nice as me - I have another version of the suite from another show, which I found... um ... somewhere.

Soundwise, the Caf� Central never disappoints, but this time it might even be a tiny bit better than usual. I only had to remove some harsh high frequencies and a few beer bottle noises - done!

Have fun (still 1:50 of music), until, some day, I will post the complete show.

A little extra: Cheb Nettles apparently doesn't like to be photographed, but mean papparazzi Wannerl has included a shot here.
