Couple of thoughts - stop the adlibbing in the middle of songs and stick another bunnymen song or two in the set instead. and where have all the singalongs come from? They must have dropped it the chorus down in 6 of the songs, got a bit boring to be honest. Other thought - WIll is looking very dapper these days.
Has anyone noticed how rough the vocals have been at the shows or in the clips? I know it’s something we don’t want to admit and have maybe just been happy bands are back at it but Ian’s singing is really off. It was like that at the Roundhouse gig. It seemed like that’s why there were a lot more singalongs and quite frankly, it felt like he needed help anyway.
The keyboards were too flowery and I think it was Lips that was extremely tough to get through for me. The notes were all over the place. Prefer the old keyboard player tbh.
On the dapper note, an old joke but … Ricky Tomlinson. My mates and I can’t unsee the resemblance now. Our Will has been replaced. I don’t know. The London show may have been our last. It seemed like a completely different band to what they were pre-covid days. I’d like to keep those memories nice. I thought it was just me, but that seemed to be the consensus from our lot who went.
