In the article there is a link to the Liverpool Echo's 30th Anniversary Tribute to the band

Did anyone here go to the show or know a setlist. I saw on the Seven Seas list that they did Rust.

I went. Haven't got a setlist but it was roughly same as RAH for the first set. They did do 'Rust' which I was suprised at.

How'd that go over? I seem to remember that song being a little rough on the WAYGTDWYQWERTY tour.

I'll keep my eyes on Dimeadozen for the show. I'm very curious to know what Rust sounded like actually.

Rust is a pretty amazing song except for the chorus then it goes pure schmaltz. But the rest of the song is genius. Lyrics (again exceptt he chorus) are beautiful.

I love that schmaltz

'Rust' sounded err...a bit rusty actually - like they hadn't played it for a while!

First things first-blimey Liverpool has had some dough put into it.A posh Pumphouse and John Lewis opposite!

Whilst the Royal Albert had more majesty,this was a better performance with crystal clear sound,Mac and Will on electrifying form and of course a mega Thorn Of Crowns.The best band in the world deliver a huge sound sound into the cavernous Arena and still make it sound intimate.Awesome stuff.Only one question-why is the ratio of toilets to punters 2 to 5000.The mens was bad but I felt sorry for the women.Glasvegas?Jury out.

A top night and a really friendly vibe in Liverpool from all the people I drunkenly sounded off to in my thick wolvo tones.Will being one in Korova-deffo Paris for OR,no new album until OR gigs are over and no Electrafixion songs because Mac wont play them.You cant have everything I suppose.

Scouser said if Mac so much as batted an eye in your direction we could expect a rave review. I'm not convinced yet.

The Echo Arena has quite good sound for a big shed, I agree the toilet provision is woeful. Great waterfront views though, especially in summer...
