I travelled from London to Glasgow to see Tricky when he supported PJ Harvey.
I wasn't that interested in PJ, I just wanted to see Tricky. Imagine how
pissed off I was when I got into the concert to find they'd started early and
only had two tracks left. What I did see was really good. I met quite a
few people I know at the concert, all like both Tricky and PJ. But, during
what I did see there was a bit of "friction". Tricky appeared pissed off,
played a shortish set, and when the crowd shouted for more as he left the
stage he said something like "PJ Harvey doesn't want me to play any more
songs". After a few minutes he came back and played another some.
I met Tricky later at the bar. He didn't say anything significant about
the friction but did say he was a bit worried about how a PJ audience
would react to him. Seems a sound guy.
