drunk thoughts on this live, set-closing version of Jailbird by Primal Scream at Reading 1994

1. big ups for aiming to learn the ~Chemical~ Brothers remix to play as your live version of the second-biggest hit off your rock album

2. lol at this band who have a day-to-day operating blood level of 41% heroin at this stage, and are plainly shitfaced pissed here, attempting to do a live rendition of an acid / proto-big-beat track

3. salute to Denise Johnson, likely sober, valiantly singing a two-bar sample of her own voice

(not as well as Florence on the XX remix of her You Got The Love cover live at Glastonbury, also on the 'utube, but still)

4. fuck the band for having her as co-lead singer from 1990-1995 then *not crediting her* on the *2018* first release of a 1993 album she sang on, then suing her bcz someone else made a digital image of her for charity https://twitter.com/TheDJohnsonR3AL/status/1128281838043238400

5. lol at nearly-entire-gig guest Mick Jones knocking Scream gtrst Innes' giant wooly hat off with his headstock in the final minutes, as a troll

6. congrats to me for learning 25 years ago how to jump about to the remix without jumping the needle or waking my parents, so I could not disturb my 12 neighboring apartments today

7. RIP in peace Denise bb https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/28/denise-johnson-the-voice-of-manchesters-dancefloors

Great thread of several decades of clickable songs that Denise sang on: https://twitter.com/soniccathedral/status/1287784753664589832
