    not even gig of the week Shando ;)

    I enjoyed the 2nd half of the set and it was like a different band, but still there was stuff that just wasn't right last night........I'm sure people going tonight will get a much different experience......

    Yeah, was very subdued before the break, Astbury with his usual bull**** ramblings:rolleyes: Picked it up after that ...but no where near the intensity of the Olympia gig last time round imo. Nice to see Elvis Costello on rhythm guitar!:D They could do with widening the exit in that place ..awful narrow getting people out.

    ha, yeah he was a ringer for Elvis Costello. They were definitely off form. At the end of the gig I think Astbury actually said something like "Come back tomorrow night, we'll be better then".

    I thought the set list was disappointing and the performance of She Sells Sanctuary was a bit lackluster. They just seemed to plow through it.

    That said, overall i enjoyed the gig.

    I enjoyed the second part,they took their time to get up to scratch i think and i heard Billy was a bit sick.
    Great drumming from that lad from NYC and we got some pics outside after the gig when 2 of them were leaving,some of the purists with me were delighted!
    First time to see them live after growing up listening to them :o and they rocked,i was hoarse this morning :D.
    First time in the Academy too and i like,bar the poxy toilets.
    Pleasant crowd there aswell,nice atmosphere....
