I really enjoyed hearing the whole of EMG live, possibly more than THB. Hell, I think I actually enjoyed KfC for the first time! When that kind of thing happens, you know the band are playing well! Ok I would've probably preferred it if it was just the 3 of them performing it like THB, but you can't have it all. Was so good to finally hear TGWWTBG, Interiors & Further Away live.
When the tour was announced I expected the second set to be hits-orientated. But when they started advertising it as 'classics & rarities' I did start expecting something along the lines of the excellent THB second sets (single, rarity, single, new song, etc...). Bad advertising I guess. I was little disappointed to see they seemingly have stopped playing You're Tender & You're Tired now in favour of a cover which really nobody gives a shit about. Very odd decision... Hopefully by Swansea they will have mixed it up a bit, even if it means throwing theWelsh football song in (which I actually really like!).
