Re: Set List, Brighton, 18/08/05



Matthew

Thanks for posting. I agree the set lost it's way a tad in the middle, but  
really built at the end. I think we're all spoiled by Meltdown ;-)

Loved 'Not Fade Away' and 'Like a Rolling Stone'... good covers.

And as for young Tom.... reminds me constantly of Brian Wilson. You wind  
him up, let him go.. He's great, but you end up wondering what universe  
he's in. He played some pretty fine guitar lead towards the end though.
