2014-10-11 Royal Festival Hall

[markreed]

The audience reminded me a LOT of the late 90's-early 00's shows (just a bit balder and a bit fatter). If you hadn't seen them before, I imagine it might have been a shocker given how lively the crowd was. Best show of theirs I have seen since the summer 2000 minitour.

Yes, we did think that might be part of the explanation for the chatting and visits to the bar during the quieter songs. It was a surprise though. Someone said the queue for the bar was 20 mins long - and that was while dubno was still being played!

I don't mind nuxx, btw. I just thought this gig was one chance to finish with something from the dubno era instead!

Nuxx was played live on the dubnotour...

Wow, no-one got anything to say about the Royal Festival Hall gig? I'll kick off by saying we had a ball, I was rather disappointed they didn't play Spikee, and...

...there's at least one recording in the can!

Cheers,

Dr. Matt...

Can someone post the set list please?

[Chippy]

Ah fair enough - I didn't see them live then. I just don't want them to think they *have* to play any song.

On the crowd noise thing - it's a double edged sword. The reaction during Dirty Epic was, well, epic, and the atmosphere overall was awesome. I just wish people who were claiming to love the album would shut up during Tongue!

That setlist is incredible. I think I would've fell over to hear 'Big Mouth' & Minneapolis.' Can't wait to hopefully hear some recordings from some of these shows. Truly hope they come to the US next year.
