I have a couple of early Jesus Jones albums which I really like so I was very pleased to finally get the chance to see them live. It would have been good if they’d been headlining and had played a few more songs. Instead they were supporting Pop Will Eat Itself on their Australian tour, and their setlist was limited to 14 songs. I would have liked to have recorded ‘Zeroes and Ones’ but they opened with that and I rarely capture opening numbers. Instead I ended up with these six songs:
International Bright Young Thing (00:13)
Never Enough (03:25)
Two and Two (06:12)
The Devil You Know (10:16)
Who? Where? Why? (14:47)
Idiot Stare (18:49)
Not too bad a selection. However, my video doesn’t really do their performance justice. They sounded much better ‘right there, right then’. There’s never any substitute for being there at the gig.
