Gig Info:Date: 20.08.1998 Location: The Laurel Tree, London, UKThe UK tour! - after 4 hours in the bus we rock'ed London with psychedelic energy.East meets south in smoky London Town. AT the top of the Laurel Tree. The band and a haze. Dark dingy but groovy Club. A late start ensured maximum juggle of marbles. No Austin Powers Intro so off into space on our own. The band’s increasing vortex shifting sound melted in a black wax around the club. A shorter set than the night before, but just before collapse and hysteria set in. ‘Come Down’ to close and jerky dancing returned. London outside the window, Saturn on our minds. Highs: ‘Look after that dog!’, top of the bill, sound system, Guinness and fine wines, Mark Knopfler sound-a-like calling us ‘heavy’, getting out of the minibus, playing in London, England, Keith ‘Al’ Richards; Lows: Lack of Gaffa tape, closing time minibus blues.
