I've just fought my way back through the heavy rain from a=20
Tricky concert on this otherwise slow Sunday in Lund, Sweden.
And I have to say I've got mixed feeling about what I've just=20
seen.=20

On the one hand it was a great live concert with lots of new=20
tracks (that I hope will show up on his upcoming album),=20
kickin' new versions of the songs on "Premillenium tension"=20
and some crowd pleasers from "Maxinquay". But...should this=20
guy really be out on the streets? He seems to be totally=20
freaked out. The band and Martina are on their toes to see=20
what he's up to next. He can't possibly be acting, he really=20
doesn't look well, I say to myself, when he stands there=20
shaking and mumbling "I'm going out of my head" for 10 min.

It's been said before but I'll just confirm it, Tricky's music=20
doesn't make you feel better when you're down, it makes you=20
grateful that you're never felt as bad as this guy must be=20
feeling right now.

Was it worth the =A313 then? you might ask. Not if you're looking=20
for that friday night party mood. Otherwise definetely! But I=20
guess you knew that already.

Hope I wont have nightmares!
