A hugely enjoyable show that picked up momentum as it went on. I thought
Gerard was looking healthier than when they played the “Welcome,
Stranger!” gig at Broadcast in Glasgow in 2017. I hope that is genuinely
the case.
The sound was, indeed, predictably muddy, but at least not as deafening as
the last time around. It would be great to see/hear them somewhere that
isn’t a minimally repurposed concrete basement. These sorts of venues are
fucking Dickensian, man, and better suited to the shoutier songs.
Up to eight members on stage, including Wojtek, whose dancing was not as
impeded as the audience’s, who had to contend with a sticky spilt-beer
floor (perhaps we can blame the Flock of Seagulls fans who were in the
night before for that). They have dispensed with guitar leads these days
so the weaving of the band members around the stage, especially, during
Breaking In My Heart, was achieved without technical calamity or personal
injury.
Liked it so much, I even bought a T-shirt.
More, please.
