Face Of Cheam

This was Skins first concert for over eleven years. Their debut album was a rock classic, the second one a bit rubbish and I didn't even purchase their final one as I had lost interest. Still attended many gigs at the marquee when they were jsut starting (Carling XD what happened to that?). Therefore after digging out my 1993 Xmas show piss up shirt this was a must see. Dave Ling was in the audience and they were introduced by Krusher. The first bit was a bit lost on me but sounded good, but from the ballad Which Are The Tears it was fantastic. Nev, the singer, has had his hair cut short, with guitarist Myke Gray, now a fitness trainer, was shirtless and hairless (both body and head). The drummer was also bald now with only the bass player keeping their hair longer than shoulder length. Still a trip for nostalgia in classic rock you don't mind what they look like. Here's the set list I nicked off the mixing desk (which did not include the encore). Shame they did Unbelievable though when they have done much better covers previously (the Borderline show many yonks ago included Radar Love and My Generation!)

'The Only One’, ‘Experience Electric’, ‘Blow My Mind’, ‘No Way Out’, ‘Make It Happen’, ‘Soul’, ‘Which Are The Tears’, ‘Money’, ‘How Lucky You Are’, ‘House Of Love’, ‘Take Me Down To The River’, ‘Look But Don’t Touch’, ‘Tower Of Strength’ /////// ‘Colourblind’, ‘Unbelievable’ ‘Perfect Day’
