[The Oilman]

Hey guys, Jon was right, it wasn't on a card Peter just responded to
someones request in the front row. He said it would be a good one but I
thought he mentioned that we weren't old enough, or maybe I am confusing his
statement with the song request he picked out of the box for a song by The
Dragons.

If you ask me this was 100% rigged, no doubt about it. Think about it, Pete
pulls the song, Martin adn Jim mysteriously have the correct guitars on, no
fiddling with any pedals of any sort. I will always believe this was rigged.
Peter tried to get Rob to hold up the set so they could do it before the
encore but Rob wouldn't have any part of it. I'd like to have heard that
argument in the dressing room before the encore!

Anyway, I'd have to say it was absolutely THE best version of No Time for
Games I will ever hear in my entire life. Wow, Moginie at the end was
absolutely going off! It appeared that his fingers were not even attached to
his hand while he pkayed the guitar!!!!!

Rock on workers, keep us informed on the west coast shows please!

Todd (OILMAN!)
