This tour so far sounds exactly like the album versions of Barking and the best-of from their last few tours. For new fans it'll be great. For some of us it'll be a step down.
Now of all the shows ive seen I still think Atlanta 2008 was the best so it's not a matter of me longing for the past.  |
people on here are uber fans but most people at the gigs aren't.
the show's for everyone and most of the "non" uber's will have no idea what song is coming after the next and won't have read set lists from festivals in eastern europe etc etc.
there's no future for r&k playing 3 hour extended jam's of "oich oich" even if we'd all love it.
i think "barking" and the current gigs are designed to appeal to a younger gig going crowd and promoters who hear the music on annie mac,pete tong etc etc and who'll be at the festivals next year.
"things are constantly changing" haha
