Demon - The Limelight Crewe 26th September 2001

'Tis I, Sparky. Seeing as how Laughing Boy isn't around, I shall seize my opportunity for immortality. Carpe Diem, Sparky! (No, Brooksey, that has nothing to do with fish…)
Set list: The Plague / Writing's on the Wall / Spaced Out Monkey / Never Saw it Coming / Wonderland / Into the Nightmare / Sign of a Madman / Dreamtime / Streetwise Cowboy / Remembrance Day / Don't Break the Circle / One Helluva Night // Night of the Demon
Now then, Demon: The Limelight.
In the guitar department, Mrs. Walmsley's little boy had once again been in and out of the closet, and the furry hat, so beloved of Demon fans worldwide, made a reappearance. At the other side of the stage, Brooksey couldn't make up his mind which guitar he wanted to play. Whilst some uncharitable types might say it doesn't make no nevermind, I would never do that. He says, he broke a string, and I believe him, for one.
In the throat section, singer Dave Hell appeared to be preparing for a paddle in the sea at Blackpool. Questions are being asked in the House today, as to whether Mr Hell's choice of stage attire has, in fact, set back the levels of sartorial elegance for rock bands, to pre-spandex levels. We await the results of that particular survey.

About the photos...

A word about the pictures...
Now then, this was one of the best performances I've seen from Demon. the gig was well attended and the crowd got into it - hence the pics of people headbanging etc. A couple of the pics didn't come out quite how I'd anticipated because the auto-focus foiled me or the dry ice was a bit thick, so I tried a couple of "artistic" things out and of course there's this batch's "Andy Pic".
