Tonight however, they focussed on their (in my opinion) mediocre 80s output, barely playing any of their 70s classics.... No Ladytron, no In My Dreamhome A Heartache, no Bogus Man... And they were a bit too slick for my liking, a bit like we were watching a Jools Holland show if you see what I mean, for most of the show there were 12 people on stage, when there needed to be maximum 5 or 6, there was the obligatory group of female backup singers that had lengthy great gig in the sky type sing offs (but crap) And there was a massive screen so bright that it made the performers basically silhouettes. Which would have been fine if the screen was showing close ups of them, which it was, but they were overlaid with artsy psychadelic images and graphics so you could barely make it out. But it wasn't all bad, the highlights for me were 'If There Is Something' 'Pyjamarama' and 'For Your Pleasure'.
Dan my mate went to the same gig and walked out after an hour, obviously similarly unimpressed, he should have waited for the better stuff, I must admit I gave up on them after Eno left
