Overall it was great to see the boys on stage doing their thing. I'm well into the teens for times I've seen them live and they really looked like they were having fun.
Terminal 5, with it's newly revamped sound system was decent. It wasn't great. The sound for the opening act sounded crisper than UW.
Almost all album tracks were played as they are on the album with the exception of KoS and Ring Road.
High Points:
1) KoS - This was massive! The crowd was PUMPED for this one. Just awesome from start to finish.
2) Rowla - brilliant as always, but missed that screechy bliss from past shows.
3) Rez/Cowgirl - Rick was in his element yet again.
4) Nuxx - This is what should have followed KoS. Really. KoS took us to a new height and then dumped us into the biggest flat dud of the night, Faxed Invitation.
Low Points:
1) Faxed Invitation. Seriously, this had the crowd as uninterested as possible especially coming after KoS which brought the crowd WAY up. What a killjoy it turned out to be. Should be noted that I love FI on OwB.
2) Dirty Club. Yup, I said it
- it fell really flat for me. It wasnt the bliss of Dirty Epic nor the fun of Dirty Guitar. It was in-between.
3) Kiteless - this was pretty much exactly as the album, but live it went on forever.
4) Moaner - it should have been the closer, but instead wasn't even in the set.
Biggest Surprise for me:
1) Nylon Strung really worked well for me live. Great vibe from it.
