I was at the Hammersmith gig in early 96 (the one that has been floating around as a bootleg for many years!) & remember it feeling less "fun", but was still the Poppies & was still great.
There was a "meet & greet" after the gig (not sure how I got into that, but anyway...) & I briefly spoke with Clint who seemed somewhat disinterested in anything but beer - I even have a photo of Clint, CJ & myself & Clint is reaching for another beer mid-photo! Hahaha!
Was good to see Buzzard on stage with the band too, but yeah... definitely noticed the lack of energy & fun that Graham usually brought to the stage.
