Re: 2014-10-11 Royal Festival Hall
I too got a set list from the mixing desk, we were the first into the auditorium from the left and the guy in the red tee said I could have one at the end. 3rd set list from an uw gig.

Sonically, the event was great, though certainly more heavy on the bass and dance vibes than the album. Reminded of the tramway recording. It was euphoric, fast and slow and very rich in texture. The projection just added to the tomato vibe, simple, though I don't know if many of you needed a reminder of the track.

Never thought I'd see Minneapolis or Bigmouth live, both amazing, and the amount of tracks played that had no vocals from Karl was a surprise, great Harmonica from Karl

I thought the crowd were great, seemed like they knew the tracks - not just lucky with tickets or RFH pre - pre sales. "Christ on Crutches" was the loudest crowd response by far.

Amazing gig and experience in a tiny venue, we made a proper weekend of it, class hotel and swanky meal on the Sunday.

Picked up a Rez disc, a t-shirt and gig poster - they gave a freebie red bag too. We acquired a RFH event insert, the ones at the door to the venue. Very accommodating staff.

Thanks guys, see you in March at Manchester, think this is smaller capacity than 2.5 k
