I started seeing them in '89/90 - and saw them a *lot* after that. I remember (well, half-remember) the 12 and 24 hour shows at the Brixton Academy, staggering out at dawn and somehow making it to Victoria to get a train. Just wish I'd been a couple of years older - I'd have been blown away by the Black Sword tour, I'm sure. I did manage to play gigs with quite a few (ex) members in the early 2000s, which was - for me anyway - really cool, and I do have one of Alan Davey's old basses sitting next to me as I type this ?
