Not a huge crowd but it was a very appreciative one. I think that the live set up really has stepped up a couple of notches now. I had no complaints whatsoever before, but seriously, if anyone here has not seen the new set up, I urge you go to one of these shows. It really is worth it. Some surprises in the set were a new version of Supermarket Strikes Back and Don't Take Your Love Away From Me. Be My Saviour sounded better than I have ever heard it before. A great set list, which is now quite some feat with the depth he now has available to draw on. No I Tried, No HBILYM and there were other omissions too but that didn't matter one bit when I was mesmerised last night at the gig. The whole sound is richer yet more direct - I don't know how to pin it down exactly - I'm no musician. The keyboard sounds are different, more melodic, on many (not all) songs, backing vocals have been reworked and sound very nice indeed, they are a very slick unit. If you have tickets for one of the other shows, I'm very envious.

The dirtiest venue I have ever been in. I was last there about 15 years ago. Same carpet I reckon.

Unfortunately I've not been able to see any, but its good to hear they've gone down so well. Also like the idea of reworking some of the older songs- guessing this will make them and the new stuff mould together better live. Slightly concerned to hear that Moshulu is still that manky- surely its in violation of some kind of health and safety?! It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I'm unkind

Only in it once, mind. Still better thatn the AECC. What is it with Aberdeen and below par venues? I am the spark, before the blaze.

Completely the wrong shape. ABC 1 sucks ass too. I am the spark, before the blaze. I am the raindrops out at sea I cause the ripples that become the crashing waves.

The capacity is nowhere near what they claim and it is still living on the glory of being where Oasis were discovered.

I suppose it's got something in that many great bands have played there over the years. A mini Barras. But with poor design.

I think I persuaded him it is worth going to alone. I'd love to be there for that one.

It's the competition winner from the MySpace competition. I'll put a feature up later.

'by the way'?! Mark- wtf? Is there no colleration between what goes on on all these various websites? There's not been any news on the main page since the end of April, yet on myspace there's new announcements; who knew about this competition? I know myspace is the preferred place for many people regarding their favourite artists, but what's the point of having this website if it isn't going to updated? This applies to the blog too- isn't it possibly to integrate it into the site somehow to show something new has gone up instead of it being an entirely seperate link? Argh!!!

This main site is being updated tonight with some of the things that have appeared on some of the other sites and more. Personally I don't think all the sites should have exactly the same content (I appreciate that's not what you are saying), there is little point in that in my opinion.

I clearly missed the competition announcement in the mailing lists, too. Think the thing that annoys me is having to go to various different places and sites to get all the news; seems more logical to have at least one place which has all the information you need. Or at least, logical to me. It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I'm unkind
