10/10 in my book quite tip top.

The End of Radio was absolutely fantastic. Three more nights to go! Lucky moi.

two the things:

is steve she-a not longer of wearing the trilby like the gruppo, la cosa nostra? il mio dio!

who else will be loving the shellac tonight! with me! also the giovedì night!

l'OH i miei orecchi!

It was really cool indeed. Too bad that "The Gertrudes" really sucked.

Sound was great even without their original amplification.

I think the Scala is actually the best show location i´ve ever been to.

I agree, Gertrude were crap. Unfortunately a friend I was with decided it was his duty to be, how shall I put it, 'extremely vocal' about his dislike for the band. To those that were there and were annoyed by this, I apologise on his behalf. I did really enjoy Shellac's show - after moving from my original spot (i.e. right in front of Bob Weston's amp). I found that when I moved a bit further to the left I could hear Steve's guitar.

What kind of (slightly) spoilt it for me was the fact that I seemed to be standing next to "Shellac's no.1 fan" for a good part of the gig, he talked to his friend constantly throughout the show (talked=shouted). Stuff along the lines of "aahh wait for the guitar on this bit... NOW... wooo", I didn't appreciate that.

Anyway, it wasn't enough to detract from the greatness of Steve, Bob and Todd's performance - I wish I could go see them again tonight...

There's a lot of photography going on at these nights. A shame my phones camera is shite. Anyone know of anyone who's taken some and like to share the love? I'm considering taking a disposable camera tonight but i'm unsure to how well it take pics

I managed to get a few photos in, i.e. one of Todd where you can't see his face, a few blurry ones of Steve (I was stupid enough to try and get a shot in when I was in the middle of what was almost a mosh pit) and one of the back of Bob Weston's head. Fucking digital cameras. That's my excuse anyway... I wish I hadn't bothered and just watched the show.

Seriously, most digital cameras simply cannot handle the low lighting and fast movement inherent at shows. I enjoy shows much more when I'm not trying to document them.

What's the capitol of Wales?
