can't tell you the full setlist but i remember a storming moaner... an ok res/cowgirl (the res bit didn't quite bite, the cowgirl did), a pretty cool KOS, all the expected tracks from the new album - scribble stood out for me. Two months off was in there. Oh I enjoyed bornSlippy.NUXX for the first time in ages. Good vocals... some missing beeps though i had to fill in in my head

felt like there was a big separation between the bangers and the anthems, iyswim

No bamboo either heh

Set list exactly the same as usual, but pearls girl and mnr added at the end as an encore. Pearls girl and mmr were storming. Great atmosphere. Slightly different ending to between stars but no suprises really. Proper up-tempo gig :-) appleblim was good too.

I made the mistake of making assumptions about this gig as I seem to remember "One Off" and "Exclusive" being banded about. I assumed that there would be more from Barking, what was aired was excellent, Diamond Jigsaw got a lot of people moving (Considering that most people there may, if at all) only heard it in the last couple of days.

KOS onward almost felt like another act, I left during Moaner....Which worked out quite well in my favour, got the last singed "wnjr" Tee, which my wife will only be allowed to wear on special occasions.

Between Stars & Diamond Jigsaw as much as I enjoyed them split they set in two Ooooh/oh. Not sure if it was the rigidity compared to the other B stuff...

More?? They played over half the album. Louisiana and Moon in Water will never be played live. Hamburg Hotel, although it's had a (some?) live performance, is probably not going to show up much, if at all. Grace doesn't really lend itself to live either, I think.

Yes, quantified too.

As you see it wasn't an entirely unreasonable assumption, but that is all it was, an assumption.

Am I the only one who found this gig disappointing? Far too much off Barking which alienated most of the crowd. There were no surprises or memorable moments for me in this gig, no Banstyle or the like chucked in. I'd love to hear what others think. Am I being too hard or maybe my expectations were set too high?

Just for clarity, I am knocking myself first and foremost.

Normally I don't have any expectations for a show/gig, this time I did which was a mistake on my part. I am not saying that I didn't enjoy it.

We had a great time at the show last night. It was more or less the same set from the iTunes festival, so no major surprises, but the encore was tremendous. Pearl's Girl growled and snapped at the crowd from somewhere inside a dense cloud of smoke. Then Moaner brought everyone to the edge of a nervous breakdown.

Top night.
