Very quick review of Paramatta: obviously the football of any description
was not mentioned (for those ouside Australia, this weekend is "Grand Final
Weekend" - the equivalent of the Superbowl / FA Cup final - for both Rugby
League & Australian Rules; and Paramatta just happen to be in one of the
finals). Apart from the footie, Pete didn't have as much as normal to say.

Anyhow, most noticeable with the concert was the fact the Jim moved about
the stage! Martin and Jim were frequently trying to outplay each other -
this made interesting guitar stretches with poor old Rob getting sweaty
keeping the beat on his small drum-kit. There was also a guest Dij player
for Dead Heart.

The set list was long, but a similar mix to the other concerts of new album
and older stuff.
