Great opening.. Release into Long Road !?!? The start of Release is a bit off. Ed missed his ohhmmmmmmm stops, and did it again. I didn't get the usual chill.
Long Road sounds great 2nd and this must have been something to witness live. The song itself is a mess here unfortunately . Wrong chords , missed words .
Small Town is welcomed early , and this is a great opening hat trick . Crowd as always eat it up. The band sound shaky though.
LB MYM and the classic Hail Hail picks things up bigtime.
The band seem to wake up during that rocking run. Whatever fog they were in has worn off . (LB sounds like someone's guitar is out of tune for the first half).
Sirens sounds way off. Ed is late and it just doesn't sound as good as it did in Pitt. Ed struggles with the high notes .
NAIS sounds great and should get a lot more playtime IMO.
Red Mosquito Whippingq and Corduroy is another great 3 song run. RM is such a great tune and needs more play !
Infallible sounds decent , but the very boring Got Some follows, running into another boring tune, the oh hum Save You. Talk about a piss/ beer run bunch of tunes.
Thank God Leash appears , but the boring Let Records play follows killing the excitement .
Leash Evolution and Better Man would have been a much better way to wrap up the set.
Encore 1 Man of the Hour Yellow Moon (love it) Fatal and Just Breathe. Fatal is ok but that isn't what I would have been looking for. Boring slow run of tunes, one after the other.....maybe Hard to Imagine and Oceans ??
The rest of encore(s) is good not great.
I love Indifference and Mary,but Last Kiss and Sonic don't cut it for me in Encore 2.
4 stars
solid, but at times shaky show
Too many great tunes for an under 4 rating IMO.
Highlights : Nothing as it Seems, Red Mosquito, Whipping, Hail Hail, Leash
Release > Long Road are always highlights , but both sounded off ....
