Well Everyone, What was the verdict on last night ? Have to admit to being a little disappointed myself. I only caught the end of the 'poor boys' and they seemed really good. They didn't appear to get a great reception which was a pity. As Cecil said, he thought the response was lukewarm. On the main event, I should also say that I had to leave around 12, so missed the last hour or so. This was my second reunion. The first was brilliant - great songs and good moshing. Last night (at least until 12 anyway) didn't seem to get going on the moshing front. Not complaining you understand - I realise there are 30 years of songs to get through. I guess for Halloween the choice just suited my taste. I also think its an advantage to have gone to the Grove in the later years as theres a good chance you will know most of the songs. At one point I was thinking, its a pity the 'Poor boys' didn't play from say 11-12 ! They would have gone down a storm. Well I guess thats how it goes. The original Grove had mostly great nights with a few not so good ones. But the great ones made it worthwhile. I look forward to next year, possibly the 40th anniversary for hopefully another great night.

Hey All,
yes a great night indeed. As Rolo says in Chat, it was great meeting so many people; both the bar and the hall were full of Grovers! The band were excellent and yes Sister, they would've gone down really well playing 11-12! A lot of the Grove music that I heard was a bit after my time, but all great music though. You injured too Blondie? hope its not too bad- I feel bad about poking Mel in the eye! (total accident by the way) CP |

I have to say it was a great night and everyone looked like they enjoyed it. The organisation and venue were first class. Have to agree with RT about the music but enjoyed Lynnard Skinnard by the W Boys and my little rince with my partner when we had the floor almost to ourselves. She didn't really get the whole thing but I appreciate her support which enhanced my enjoyment. The band was brillliant but they had finished by the time most people arrived. Is that what moshing is? Those guys looked like they really had a good time but it should carry a health warning. I could never imagine myself doing that even in the good old long-haired days. |
