They were phenomenal. At first, Les walked alone on-stage, picked up his
"violin/bass thingy" and started playing Sailing the Seas of Cheese, then the other
members walked onstage. It was on to "John the fisherman", but halfway through, Les
said: "Uhhh, I think my bass sounds like shit tonight, dumb roadies! I'll just leave
you with Ler n' Brain while I go and get it fixed up."
At that point, I was front row center, just between Les and Ler.
they played and they played and they played, they played until it was Tommy the Cat's
turn. It was the best performance of that song that I have ever heard:
Les played "The Awakening" solo flawless, Ler was immaculate in his playing,
and Brain, well...........HE R-O-C-K-S! ! ! ! Why? Picture this:
Brain was drumming, pounding, and thumping along at a bilion miles per hour,
then he picked up a beer, started chugging off, and kept playing at a phenomenal rate!
My friends and I kept on talking about that performance for weeks, it was so good!
By then, it was time for them to leave, so they did.
But the story doesn't end here: the crowd started yelling "Jerry" repeatedly and
in synchronisity. Five minutes later, they came back out, and played "Jerry was a
racecar driver". That was the cherry on top of the sundae.
