As the man was jockeyed through the crowd smoke still trailing from his lips I reflected on how businesslike the entire interaction was and how it seemed weirdly enough to reflect back on the band themselves.

Either the band was having an ‘on’ night or they have done some major rehearsing and tightening since the last time they were through town.
