Almost exactly like all the other gigs they have played in the last five years I would imagine.

Almost exactly like all the other gigs they have played in the last five years I would imagine.

well if they've been great at all their other gigs for the last 5years then fair enough.

It wasnt so much the set but the performance that made it standout for me, they really interacted with the crowd particulary considering it was a festival crowd,it felt quite intimate.
Wayne got in a big inflatable ball and rolled out over the crowd like a hamster, they did some goofy covers like Bohemian Rhapsody, Kraftworks radioactivity, War Pigs besides that they stuck mainly to the "HITS". (Yoshimi/Do you Realise/She Dont Use Jelly/Lightening strikes the postman/race for the prize/she dont use jelly)
oh and not to mention the 20+ furry animals onstage rockin out and the use of a keyboard with a load of farmyard noises

complete triumph if ya ask me

 

[carddevil]

Caribou, Crawdaddy
Caribou, Whelan's
Meat Beat Manifesto, TBMC (one of the very lucky few to have been at this show)
Kid Koala, TBMC (support for Four Tet)
Coco Rosie, Whelan's

Big let downs: Wedding Present (I probably listen too much to the old stuff), The Damned (the gig never kicked in and got the crowd going), U2 (my own fault for going to a gig in Croke Park)
