Gaga googoo gone

All good things must come to an end, and that includes the Gaga Weekend ... or at least the 2009 edition of it, since folks have to get back to jobs, education and all that jazz. The Million Dollar Marxists performed in front of a wild crowd that seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time fondling and hefting the various members of the band, then jumping on stage themselves.

Luke works the crowd.



Rhythm section action!



Luke plugs away.



Davey gets bent.



I suspect nipple-squeezing.



Luke gets a lift.



Singing and sweating action with Johnny and Davey!



If caution tape is supposed to prevent people from crossing a line, I think we can say with 100% certainty it didn't work on this occasion.





Davey goes down.



Bassist-stealing action!



Oops, they grabbed the singer again.



This performance was brought to you by ...



Everybody on stage!



Oops, they grabbed the guitarist!



Big finishing hug!



Will we see them perform again? Just wait until Gaga Weekend 2010 ... Of course the various members of the band do have other acts on the go, most of which you can see if you trawl back through the Gaga coverage here and elsewhere.

• Show reminder: Zoroaster, Gates of Slumber, Serpent Cult and The Unavowed bring DOOOOOOM to the Rainbow. Guy Del Villano performs at the Elmdale House Tavern. Jeremiah Nelson, John Statz and River City Junction play at the Avant-Garde.
