"VdGG will be performing a couple of long-form pieces at the core of their
sets in their upcoming June dates.
"Flight", originally a PH solo/K group piece, has already been aired in North
America and Japan last year. It's partly as a result of the reworking of this in
the trio format that we've been tempted to go for something even more
ambitious...or dangerous.
Our intention is to play "A Plague of LIghthouse-Keepers", from oour 1972
album "Pawn Hearts" each night.
We will not be attempting to recreate the album version but hope to
come up with a new, in-the-present approach to this important piece from our
past, which has only been played live a handful of times before now.
It's a scary prospect, but very exciting!"

	One of those things I hate about living in Nevada ... or the States as a whole. Pf! They are going to come up with a new approach for it ... sounds scary indeed.
