Nice read. And the sentiments on the London gig is just how I feel aout it… still. I finally managed to attend a sermon.

Hope this years coming gigs are just as good, or even better. Can’t make it either, was realling hoping for it, but no… Just looking forward to the reviews and pics once more.

Better sit down and watch “Seen and Unseen” and the “Dirty Water” dvd instead… fond memories indeed!

Dundalk was unbelievable. It was at least 14 years since I lost saw That Petrol Emotion live (Camden Falcon in 1993 playing under pseudonym – Scumsurfers). The sense of exhiliration as the guys took the stage was something totally unique – I’ve never experienced anything like that before and probably never will again. It was quite simply a wonderful, wonderful evening.

Two days later and we were at the Electric Picnic. Now I’ve never really done festivals before, for all manner of reasons, but the EP is something else – the positive vibe is infectious (hell, I went again this year!). What a weekend! And what a performance from TPE on the Saturday afternoon, the Crawdaddy rammed, full to the rafters! The guys put in a storming 45 minutes and set the festival ablaze! Met some lovely folk down the front too – fellow Believers one and all.

Can’t wait for Dublin…BRING IT ON!!!

Oh Yes the Boston Arms was terrific…I was buzzing for a week after. It was great to actually see you live again, espescialy as I missed the final gigs. I felt priveleged to have been part of the audience.

That London gig was fantastic. I can see what Steve refers to as to me, it was like going to church (albeit a very noisy one LOL) !!! I thought I’d get drown with nostalgia, but no : I had just attended a storming gig by my favourite band !
So many fond memories of that night… Hope to see you again (in France maybe ?) as I can’t make it to the December dates.

Cheers,
Francois.

That was me who took the Dundalk footage. Sorry about that Raymond. Tell you what, if i bring the camera to ATP I’ll film from your end this time. Cut Brendan out instead eh?

I have to say the Dundalk gig really kicked ass. What an atmosphere. My mate and me both had our wives along who were new to the petrols. Both were totally converted. Nice to meet you and your wife Steve outside afterwards. Btw the Women were smitten – at least 2 groupies for atp!
