    Was at this show last night.

    Good show but I think I preferred the first show I saw them at, two years ago at the Olympia, not sure why. Still a good show though, I think the crowd came alive when Permission to Land started to be played.

    LostAlone seemed pretty good, I think I will check out some of their stuff too now.

    I thought they were great, but they kept breaking the momentum by Hawkins stopping to talk to individual members of the crowd.

    When he urged the audience to clap along by doing the handstand and clapping his feet, is the funniest thing Ive seen at a gig.

    Hugely entertaining all round.

    It doesn't top him floating over the crowd in a giant pair of boobs on the One Way Ticket... tour at the old Point in 2005 or 2006, but it was still the funniest moment of the concert-going year for me... :D

    Have seen them 5 times now and was a little disappointed I have to say. Musically excellent as always but i thought ed and frankie's antics were a little silly and as a previous poster mentioned broke the momentum.
    Best i ever saw was the first time - vicar st in Oct 03. They were so raw. I recall them doing street spirit and bringing the house down.
