[00:28] [banter] Total running time: 46:13 Jah Wobble kicks off this second edition of Grauzone, "delivering the finest tracks from the time he spent with PiL and his dub/wave solo-work". At least, that's what the festival blurb promises is in store for us. Only, Wobble's not having any of it. His band instead play a very jazzy set, their only concession to what the festival organisers were hoping for being that they bow out on a jazzed up mash of 'How Much Are They?' and 'Invaders Of The Heart'. Whilst the set lacks the post-punk that Wobble is probably best known for, it's an enjoyable, raucous jam of a set, featuring loose covers of Miles Davis' 'Wili' and a run-through of Augustus Pablo's 'Java'. Sean Corby's impassioned trumpet-playing is a highlight throughout. Unfortunately, the band kick off their set while I'm still in the toilet, setting up my gear. I hear the muffled cheer of the crowd as Wobble and cohorts come on stage. The band's slot has been brought forward fifteen minutes, but no-one informed me, so I miss the first three minutes or so of the first piece. Being something of a taping perfectionist, I almost bail on recording any of it, but quickly decides that this would be folly. Better to capture 95% of the set than nothing at all. The sound in the venue was absolutely superb and the recording dutifully captures the fact. The set-list, such as it is, was assembled from Wobble's comments on stage. Any supplementary information or corrections would be gratefully received. |
