Great gig abroad for four pals who were equally excited to be there!
Highlights for me included:
- the crackling pre-gig atmosphere: lovely ambient sounds followed by a fun audiovisual performance via motorised black panels that called to mind Close Encounters of the Third Kind;
- when Thom nimbly moved from standing mic to the piano for the chords at the end of All I Need;
- how beautiful the glockenspiel parts sounded throughout;
- Thom’s atmospheric solo effort on Exit Music and the applause from Colin; and
- the amazing The Daily Mail.
The set-list was as follows:
- 2 + 2 = 5
- Airbag
- Jigsaw Falling Into Place
- All I Need
