Dirty Three are playing the same venue as gy!be in London. godspeed are doing two nights and D3 are doing one, but it's not like one's playing Madison Square Gardens and one's playing the Dog & Bucket, Swindon.

I played it twice last night, and am at that lovely point in listening to new godspeed where I can't really call to mind specifics of the songs, but there's a general impression of awesomeness.

The Inconveniencing is the best episode so far, but I was pretty charmed from the first episode, so it might not be your cup of tea. There's no big shift in style or quality in the later episodes.
