having seen this show at end of the road (but not taped as the weather was so atrocious), mrs rad and i are wide-eyed with anticipation for the indoor bash

what we haven't realised is that the EOTR set was only the first half (minus 'painting box' and 'empty pocket blues', in fact) - plus mike's four songs

so this afternoon's much expanded version is one delight after another

most of the vast line up were not yet born during the ISB's heyday

but this strange and sui generis music has clearly sent its mycorrhizal tendrils down through the ages to infect the consciousness of anyone drawn to the uniquely bizarre

and they do it more than proud

it doesn't hurt that junior brother's rollercoaster vocal stylings are a dead ringer for robin williamson's

albeit with an irish brogue in place of a scottish burr

and with robin unwilling to revisit the past, rose simpson lost to politics, and licorice mckechnie lost altogether, it's left to mike heron to represent the original

in the end, mike is a lot less focussed than he was at EOTR

he's clearly delighted by what's happening - but georgia has a lot to do to quell his peripatetic impulses!

though perhaps that's just the irrepressible ISB spirit insisting on turning over the tables of anything resembling order!

there are many opportunities tonight, in fact, to marvel at quite how spectacularly WEIRD the ISB were

and at just how much that is exactly what these unsettling times require

the daily tumult of dismay does its devious work to dishearten us hippies

but all that seems a long way off in the sea of grins lighting up the QEH tonight

a solid reminder that, no matter what

the pure light within us

will guide us

all the way on

enjoy
