i was there and really really enjoyed this gig - both Paul and John did a great job in their years with the stranglers - at least Paul could sing all the old Hugh songs which is not the case in the current line up (which stilll is the best live band around, mind you)
i think the roberts/ellis version of the stranglers is just as good as the cornwell line up. in my top 5 favourite stranglers songs id have to put 3 roberts songs..."daddys riding the range", "face" and "sinister", the only 2 cornwell tracks to beat those 3 would be "duchess" and "hanging around"
They should do this again in the future. I sometimes feel the 90's period Stranglers gets underplayed.
