Animal midnight
Harness your hopes
Beginning to see the light
Two days later the cobwebs are off, and it sure feels good. Leaning heavily on some 2013 concert highlights, most of all the Crystal Ballroom show. Same covers for starters, the sound is a notch below, but the fun is flowing freely. By now the Jicks sort of own 'Harness your hopes'. Let me tell you, 'Stairway to heaven' is still the most belabored penis joke of the 20th century, but leave it tot the Jicks to have me looking forward to its (truncated - thank God) appearance. 'Beginning to see the light' is messy, but that's the risk when you're playing spontaneously.
In contract, the Jicks originals from the main set glow with the thrill of the new, faithfull to the album version, but vibrant. 'Animal midnight' - lovely version in line with the 2nd night in Brisbane 2013.
Not essential or unique, but to witness the Jicks on a good night like this, one of life's pleasures.
