Feet killed me, despite the bogan attired feet – running shoes to support my arthritic toes! The bounce was almost gone (mine, not theirs) but I loved the Hives, again! Maintained a three person buffer between us and the mosh pit (is that what they call it these days?), clapped, screamed and bounced (after a fashion) on Howlin’ Pelle’s queue (he does have the best job in the world), and realised that Two Timing Touch and Broken Bones is probably my absolute Hives fave.

Not in order, I think they played: Die, All Right!, Main Offender, Hate to Say I Told You So, Two Timing Touch and Broken Bones, Walk Idiot Walk, A Little More for Little You, Diabolic Scheme, Tick Tick Boom, Try it Again, Hey Little World, Won’t Be Long, Return the Favour, Square One Here I Come, You Dress Up for Armageddon, Bigger Hole to Fill, plus two covers (one being Stormy Weather).

Enjoying oneself that much (the unnecessary aches and pains of age aside) makes me also realise that life has not yet passed me by, and 2009, please, has got to better than 2008!
