Fantastic review throughout, but this sums up my feelings regarding The Doors absolutely perfectly. The most over-rated band of all time along with Led Zep.
Woke up at 5.30 to a light dusting, even on the roads, in Beckenham, but it starting melting soon after. We've just had an hour or so of pretty heavy snow, but it hasn't really settled. Damn, if only it was a couple of degrees colder. I feel cheated.

Part 2 of the review.
Shadow Play – Rory Gallagher; really like this with its pub-rock, proto-punk vibe. Sounds like a beefed up Sultans of Swing crossed with an Only Ones b-side. Rockin’ stuff.
Tush – ZZ Top; mercifully short 12 bar blues-y rock. Sounds vaguely familiar but I’m sure this...
So when's this due to kick in?
