Gong - High Above The SubterraNia Club 2000 - SPV

It was the beginning of a new cycle for Gong. A new album, a new label, a new drummer, a new synthesiser wiz, and a new agency with the potential for a fresh management vision. This was our first gig of the 2000 naughty & aside from three thoroughly distracted rehearsals we hadn't played together for five months. To add to the pressure the gig was going out as Webcast & eventually would become a DVD & live CD.

Somehow when the day came we forgot all this & it all morphed into a huge fluorescent fancy dress party with a bunch of our old tribal pals & friends old & new in a club in Portobello Rd. - for years the epicentre of our London lifetimes.
