It's not the Falcon in Camden town, I played there with an old band twice (and incidentally it burnt down both nights, following our gigs). I saw her at the Pyramids in Portsmouth on the same tour. Sh*t venue but it didn't matter as she was unbelievable. Absolutely captivating, a bit like seeing Nirvana you think 'how can 3 people make such a damn fine racket?'. Dry is one of my all time favourite albums of all time.
I pulled this from a bootleg DVD called PJ Harvey 1991 concerts, I still have the cover but I can't seem to find the disk This boot is from 3 deferent show. University of London, Nov. 6, Camden Falcon Nov. 30 and Veovil Collage Dec. 19 It's one these. If I ever find the disk I'll post more. It's around here someplace!
The consensus on the PJ Harvey email list c. 1996 was "A place for heroes only", but I still am not entirely sure.
Now if we can just figure out the words to "C'mon Billy"..."darn thing went crazy", "don't think me crazy", I've even heard someone suggest "dauphin went crazy"
its actually "Daphne went crazy", in relation to a particularly wild episode of scooby doo. as for baseball heroes only, ive never heard anything so hilarious... well im sure i have, but nothing comes to mind atm

Where was this gig, does anyone know? Must be one of the earliest she did if it's '91. The album didn't come out until spring '92.

Hope you find it. It's probably worth a small fortune! It would be great if you could post some more.

Captures something of that sense of alienation and thrill when we heard P J for the first time...
