Reply To: JoCoJollyGoodShoAGoGo – The UK Tour
I was at the Dublin gig
The JoCo Looks Back album was available and I got the first copy to be sold. The other merch included The Thing a Week Boxset, Smoking Monkey album and the Skullcrusher Mountain and Mandelbrot Set T-shirts. I bought 1 of everything. T-shirts were E15, Boxset was E40 and the other two albums were E10 each.
Began with Code Monkey, "ended" with Re Your Brains. Encores were First of May, A Talk with George and, unexpectedly, Danny Boy. The set included Still Alive, Mandelbrot Set, Skullcrusher Mountain, Baby Got Back, You Ruined Everything, Creepy Doll, I Feel Fantastic, Mr. Fancy Pants (with surprise) and The Future Soon, not in that order (I wasn't taking notes, sorry).
A proper write up with photos and video (of Danny Boy) will follow once I can use something besides the crappy PC at the hostel I'm staying in.
Overall, an awesome gig. Myself and my friend got photos taken and he got a copy of Portal signed. JoCo was incredibly nice and talkative. The venue was packed and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Two people had awesome stuffed monkeys which they got signed during the show by throwing them at him.
When I was going to get a photo taken, I was completely starstruck. I froze when I was standing in front of him and I only unfroze when he reached out to shake my hand.
I am aware this is a rambling and disjointed post, but that's because it's 1.30am and I'm tired and a bit tipsy.
Like I said, I will post properly tommorrow.
No more lurking, proper posts from now on.
