    He was great. Crowd was a bit dead to begin with (boggled my mind the lack of reaction to Devils Haircut as an opener) but once he played Loser they finally got into it. I don't think it was the new songs that caused the lull, it was a few of the lesser known tracks back to back.
    I loved it though, perfect mix for me as I saw the greatest hits set at electric picnic last year and wanted it mixed up a bit. Time bomb, Gamma ray and Beercan were nice surprises.

    Yeah, he went straight into it with Devil's Haircut and there was a muted reaction! :confused::confused: Delighted he played Beercan - that was an unexpected surprise. Loved Lost Cause too. I really enjoyed the gig but I think a lot of the crowd werent that familiar with his stuff or were just there for Loser.

    I thought he was great - but yeah the crowd took a while to warm up.
    I'd love to see him again.

    I would say he was better at the picnic (think he played for slightly longer and we got Debra, Sexx Laws and Girl) because the crowd, whether the majority knew the songs well or not, were into it from the first minute til the last, and he was clearly feeding off the energy. Can be a bit disheartening playing some of your best work for some people who are only there because they won tickets and have no real interest.
