I loved every minute spent a long weekend in london from sunderland met sum nice people who made me welcome .thank you roundhouse and sparks for letting me into your world last sunday .
This is the most interesting band of all time. Its discography is interesting and very big. They never change to fit into a top 40 cookie cutter bands!
I was there and really enjoyed it 👍 Fantastic performance and certainly no spring chickens, but they still delivered 👍 I’m not familiar with all their work but still loved it 😀
Worst setlist that Ron & Russell have put together in many years, obscure 10 songs, just for the diehards. Musicians were great, please accommodate the fans that have not always been with you since the 70's, just like the orchestra that they had years ago, that did nor work either. Only enjoyed songs from no 1 in heaven onwards, younger fans will not know these early songs, disappointed fan.
thats sparks man, your either a diehard or not, they are that kind of band. If people have been fans all their lives they deserve to hear songs other than the well known material, they are not a greatest hits band.
Miserable git! I'm only 28 years old so not a massive die hard fan but I know they've always mixed up their sets on each tour. I mean how can they really make a greatest hits set from 25 albums! Maybe appreciate the fact that they are still going!
I think I’d just be glad I’d had the opportunity to see them live, whatever they played. I’m pretty new to much of their material until recently, but would’ve been happy watching this incredible duo doing what they do best, and then go home and do my homework on their back catalogue.
I'm a fan for 2 1/2 years now. It was a coincidence that I discovered them through "Please Don't Fuck Up My World". That doesn't mean that I'd never heard of them before, but I only knew the album "Gratuitous Sax And Senseless Violins", nothing else. And you know what? I personally LOVE the obscure songs! In fact I love them the most. I was so thrilled I got to see them live for the very first time and imo it was amazing! The gig in Amsterdam was definitely my favorite (I was in Amsterdam, Berlin and Hamburg). Russell bouncing and dancing around on stage right in front of me was incredible! Actually, I'm not so much a fan of "This Town..." for example, because I've heard it so often, but even that was amazing live. So I guess what I want to say is yes, I know all the songs, though I'm a new fan and tend to listen more to the more recent ones (because I prefer Russell's voice of today, imo it became so much better over the years!) and I'm just super happy and glad that I could experience the live gigs and actually meet other fans. Usually the only kind of contact I have to other fans is online.
I think the 2022 tour was a special case. It was following on the excellent Edgar Wright documentary, they knew they'd have many new listeners, so they opted for a career- retrospective setlist from every era. I expect this year's tour to have more of the newer music.
