It was a turning point in the crisis, and one of several dramatic moments in this fascinating, highly personal look at American foreign policy.

This was our first gig of the 2000 naughty naughties & aside from three thoroughly distracted rehearsals we hadn't played together for five months. To add to the pressure the gig was going out as webcast & eventually become a DVD & live CD. Somehow when the day came we forgot all this & it all morphed into a huge fluorescent fancy dress party with a bunch of our old tribal pals & friends old & new in a club in Portobello Rd. - for years the epicentre of our London lifetimes. Recorded live at the Subterania Club, London, at the 'Zero 2 Infinity' CD launch party/gig in April 2000.
