Saw them in Birmingham last night and will sum them up with 5 adjectives.
Stunning
Beautiful
Boring
Ethereal
Soporific
Yes I did say boring. At times i drifted off I have to say.
When they peaked on first and last track Glosili and Untitled 8 they were incredible, especially the latter.
Weird gig.
Elbow and Mew tonight, ace!
boring?
i don't remember that part when i saw them
perhaps
that's because you can't see my opinion?
It's invisible inside my head
Agree
I think the boring bits were due to the Academy being a crap venue. I saw them at the Lowry in July and they were amazing, the theatre setting really benefiting their live show. You really needed to see EVERYTHING onstage last night and you just couldnt unless you were lucky enough to be on the balcony. Too many people chattering didnt help either which made me constantly aware that I was in the academy rather than being able to absorb the whole peformance. Quite dissapointed really.
have to
also agree... I wish it had been in Symphony Hall like it was originally listed.
have
I missed the London show?
Yes
it was last wednesday and very good too.
Very good?
Understatement of the year.
Saw
em in Liverpool at the Philharmonic and I'd agree with Podge. With exception of a few songs it was one of the most slumber inducing gigs I've seen.
May as well have just put the cd on and flash some lights. Closer was great though.
