Fish - Field of Crows
Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh
I think this is my fourth Fish gig; seems like more, somehow. I met up with friend Ricky Carvel before the gig; he had a friend with him, I had Jane. We timed the support act interval to perfection and walked in just as Fish’s band took the stage.
There wasn’t a great deal of banter this evening from Mr Derek W. ‘Fish’ Dick. Maybe it was the small, dark venue; maybe it was because this was his 40-odd-th date on the current tour that has seen him travelling around Europe and back to the UK.
Fish’s showmanship is exquisite, the first few songs were acted out, Fish wearing a wide-brimmed hat, Arab-like desert scarf wrapped around his neck and gentleman’s walking stick in hand, that revealed itself as a sword during The Perception of Johnny Punter, I recall.
I got a copy of the set-list at the end: it landed on me! It read as follows:
Rookie (first 4 songs into each other)
Moving Targets
Jungle Ride (Fish talk in song)
Perception (Guitar; house right starts, fish talk in song, heavy)
Numbers
Zoo Class
Tiki 4
Cliché (Big guitar solo house right)
Innocent Party
Vigil
Plauge (last 2 - keyboard heavy)
—–
Felini/Lucky/Exile/Market Sq. (keyboard start)
—–
Company
Bring on the next gig.
