I did!

Totally awesome!

Edit: Let me qualify that a bit, it was awesome to see a personal hero lay down some great grooves, that was awesome, and his guitarist was equally superb, funky as hell. The drummer appeared to have mistaken his role as one of building a shed at the end of every 4 bars rather than simply holding down a funky groove with some subtle, inventive and most importantly funky, embellishments. Totally overblown drumming that rather spoiled things.

On top of which the engineer had gone for 'classic heavy rock mix #1' whereby the drums are mind numbingly loud, compressed to get maximum attack off every stroke and thoroughly crush the rest of the band, whilst GP's bass was rather undefined mud for the most part. Great keys player too, epic gurning whilst noodling on the occasions he was allowed to as well. Most entertaining. The set got a little lacjklustre in the later quarter, but the middle and ensd were worth the price of admission alone for me....
