Here’s the word on the recent Sonics<\/strong> shows in London, courtesy of my pal Chester Rocket<\/strong><\/a> of the UK:<\/p>\n

It was AMAZING!!!!<\/p>\n

And yes, they did do THAT SONG, and boy was it good !<\/p>\n

(sorry for those that weren\u2019t there, but it was a proper occasion, and they did not disappoint…. check out youtube)<\/p>\n

Also I had a sneak preview of their session on Mark Lamarr<\/strong> show<\/a> on BBC Radio 2<\/strong> \u2013 I think it is going out on Saturday<\/strike><\/em> (EP: It’s online right now) \u2013 it\u2019s really good make sure you catch it.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s a YouTube clip of THE SONG as performed on Sunday, March 23. <\/p>\n

Damn, that looked like fun….<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong>: Chester sends even more information about this show:<\/p>\n

EP they were just brilliant….
\nWas there with 2 friends and several thousand others – we all had a great
\ntime, and like I say a real sense of occasion, you could feel it in the air
\nas soon as you got off the tube…
\nThey just played it dead straight, like the past 40 years never happened,
\nLarry was even using his old guitar \ud83d\ude42
\nAll the songs you could have hoped for too
\nThere’s a pretty fair review here
\nhttp:\/\/music.guardian.co.uk\/live\/story\/0,,2267675,00.html<\/a> (tho of course I
\nwould say 5 stars)
\nLink to the session here http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/radio2\/shows\/lamarrsat\/<\/a> looks
\nlike it may already have aired but there is a listen again link \ud83d\ude42
\nI hope you guys do get to see the show before too long I can’t believe how
\nlucky we were over here
\nAnd to make matters better, I was distraught when I heard that Pete Doherty
\nmight be on the bill but it was a false alarm as he was on the Sunday bill
\n(and cried off anyway!) \ud83d\ude09 hee hee
