Sorry, we didn't get a chance to chat.
The Blender was packed and hot as hell. We bolted to the relatively clear air of a favorite pub while the last note was still lingering in the fetid air.
As for the show, it was a little tighter than the one in Jersey, but not by much. Ripper was wailing away, but the sound system had him sounding a bit too sharp, tinny or something. The natural bass timber of his voice was a bit squashed. Don't know if anyone knows wtf I'm talking about.
