The Royal Albert Hall is a terrible venue.Mal0wner wrote:The band were really good and Matt's voice has lost nothing over the years but I wish I was going to see them at Brixton Academy tonight as the Royal Albert Hall really isn't suitable for rock/ pop concerts. The sound got a bit muddled at times with the drums and bass smothering everything else. I don't know if it would have sounded better if we were down in the stalls but being up high I felt a bit detached from it all at times. I don't like seated venues much anyway and we were constantly having to get up to let people past to go to the bar and toilets plus there were some talkative wankers nearby. Back to the band... They stuck with the same line up (drummer, bassist, pianist, guitarist and Matt) throughout with no special guests or backing singers but seemed to pull off the full The The sound. Good mixture of songs from across all of the albums and a few tracks I hadn't heard. Uncertain Smile, complete with extended piano solo, was probably the highlight for me. It must have been difficult performing following the death of his dad and there were quite a few family photos and film clips included in the video collage showing behind the band. Despite my gripes about the venue it was a top gig and I hope they carry on beyond this tour.
