some live reviews....

from the guardian.

including:

Dave Gahan
polyphonic spree
robbie williams
Eels
Good Charlotte.


it makes the Dave Gahan show sound good…….

Odd Eels review, people on their message board made the show sound great, but then again thats people on THEIR message board.

but I thought the review made the show sound good. I guess that is just the kind of thing I like. I was surprised as the review seems a little mismatched with the 3 star rating…..

I just didnt think the review said much about the show at all, did not leave me with any impression.

"but that doesn't stop your heart sinking when the set opens with a grinding, funereal blues. Obviously, making hearts sink is rather the point of grinding, funereal blues - but is it all going to be like this?

Thankfully, no. After a couple of perfunctory cover versions - including, inevitably, the Beatles' I'm a Loser - Everett performs Saturday Morning, a paean to childhood. You wouldn't exactly call it sunny, but it is surprisingly devoid of existential despair. The comedy of Restraining Order Blues may be black - "Judge made it clear, I can't be near you" - but it is funny none the less. His three-piece band rumble away, sounding rather like Crazy Horse. "


thats the middle half….. I think he makes it sound better than he intended too.

Discussion of london show starts about halfway down - http://bb.dreamworksrecords.com/cgi-bin/eelstheband/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=001112;p=4

Sounds like they are still playing Encores after the lights go up, so try and stay upstairs this time scientist

Inspiral Carpets Manchesters BEST! :eek:

Talk about a load of bollocks!

one of manchesters best, not manchesters best, james are one of manchesters best as are the stone roses, manchesters best band are PURESSENCE, thanks for cueing me up for another PURESSENCE plug ;)

"One of Manchester's best"…that would be all of them with just a few exceptions.

you learn fast my son.
