Tunbridge Wells Forum - Thursday 10/08/2000....
Support Bands - None
This was it, Therapy? with no bullshit, no support band just Therapy?. If you we lucky enough to here about this gig, get there and see it, my god were you in for a treat. On arrival at this converted toilet, that my friends dad had repaired the roof on, both Graham and Martin were just standing around in the evening sun talking about, just to feet from myself and my mate. Then on further investigation noticed Andy and Michael were just sitting on the surrounding grass area talking and drinking. Shit then Andy came over with Michael and just milled around while a couple of people got photo's and autographs. I myself thought this was just to cheesy to do, I must have been in shock, but in retrospect this was a mistake as this great opportunity will probably never happen again.
The gig itself was fantastic, the place was packed with around 150 or so people, trust me I've seen the guy's quiet a few times before, but the smaller the venue the better the sound and the whole atmosphere seems in my opinion to be better. This was so low key that you didn't even get a ticket, you just paid on entering. The band were in great form playing a variety as normal of both old and new stuff, were you the lead singer on Knives..? They even played Fat Camp live for the first time ever, what an honour. To put a cherry on the cake Michael for the first time in a while had no bass problem. Tunbridge Wells was a warm up gig for the Bull Dog Bash, but the band assured us that they didn't feel that was the case, well at the end of the day who gives a shit, Therapy? have never played the Forum in Tunbridge Wells before, and to be honest probably will never again, as it is a shitty little place on the south coast of England, and to be fair they are far to big a band to be playing there. This whole affair had nothing to do with gate receipts, or profit, but I would love to now who decided for the band to play here. Green Day had played there before, but this was long long before they made it big.
I will be uploading a couple of the tracks played as normal but if you would like a complete copy of this gig just let me know and we can arrange something, believe me this recording is one of the best I've got and the gig itself has just got to be heard to be believed. Therapy? rock again.......
