                                                      was so much better than 
                                                      I'd hoped for.

                                                      Numan was in top form and 
                                                      gave it everything. The 
                                                      place (small and fab) was 
                                                      heaving with a very diverse 
                                                      crowd. Lots of goths, a

                                                      nephilm t-shirt, lots of 
                                                      gorgeous women and loads 
                                                      of Numan virgins. The latter 
                                                      were shellshocked by how 
                                                      good he was. 
                                                     
                                                      I was standing with the 
                                                      happy crazy crew who got 
                                                      the crowd going with whistles, 
                                                      shouts of Nuuuuuuuman and 
                                                      shitloads of shapes and

                                                      way and have been going 
                                                      to shows since 88.  
                                                    The 
                                                      sound was sharp, lighting 
                                                      - smallest ever but the 
                                                      vibe was invigorating.

                                                      list was pretty predictable. 
                                                      Some of the Pure tracks 
                                                      were even better live and 
                                                      it was cool to hear Everday,
