a friend of mine was going to come to this show

but, faced with the trek from and back to london, decided against it

because, as he said to me, amazing as patti always is, these days it's kind of always basically the same setlist

well, he'll be be rueing that choice today...

freed from last year's horses 50th anniversary constraints, we get the first 'space monkey' in over 10 years

the first 'revenge' in 18 years - only played a handful of times in total over the years

and the first performance - ever - of 'fireflies'

patti is - as mentioned above - always amazing, no matter what

but she is in particularly excitable mood tonight

something about brighton that gets her fired up

resplendent in 'fuck the clock' tour merch, she very much does not seem her seventy-nine years

reduced to giggles as she and daughter jesse call film producer, john lesher, and corral a very willing crowd to sing him happy birthday - probably his first 2000-strong serenade - it's hard to think of her as much more than seven

as ever, it's a thoroughly life affirming experience

40 plus shows in, i should be getting jaded by these shows by now

but fuck that

enjoy
