Levellers Gig
Well, tonight I went to a Levellers gig in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and I have to say, it was pretty fucking awesome.
Here's the setlist, in no particular order:
- The Game
- Lowlands of Holland
- Liberty Song
- Battle of the Beanfield
- Wheels
- Drug Bust McGee
- Together All The Way
- Sitting In The Social
- Man O' War
- Julie
- Ghosts in the Water
- Born That Way
- Haven't Made It
- England My Home
- The Cholera Well
- The Boatman
- The Road
- Far From Home
- Down By The River 'O'
Something, as you can see, was played from almost every album save for 'Hello Pig' (yay) and 'Mouth To Mouth' (aww). Many of these tracks were redone, with different timings or keys or even entirely different tunes!
I also picked up some cool merch: a green and red tee with the Levs' "rolling anarchy" symbol (see window icons) on the front, surrounded by a quote from the French anarchist and philosopher, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon:
"Whoever puts their hand upon me to govern me is a usurper, a tyrant, and I declare them my enemy."
