GREAT show!!! Loved hearing Bash & Pop again–what a gem of a song from an underlooked album. Hope you surprise us with some Perfect in the future! Man, Pete sounded right at home at “Slicing…,” Bowie was fab as always (and love how you’re not afraid to play songs off the much-maligned, guilty pleasure “Never Let Me Down”!), and the new Primitives song was the biggest surprise of the night–ACE single! Again, thanks for making Tuesday nights so memorable, Matt!
