Glasvegas kicked off the Shockwaves NME Awards Tour last night (January 29) at Liverpool University with a set that included an improvised Echo And The Bunnymen cover.

Coming onstage at the delayed time of 11pm (GMT), the Scots launched into 'Geraldine' before continuing on to play favourites from their eponymous 2008 debut album, such as 'It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry' and 'Polmont On 'My Mind'.

To a backdrop of vivid flashing white lights, frontman James Allan remained reserved throughout the gig, speaking only to thank the crowd for applause and to announce upcoming songs.

The band also played 'Fuck You, It's Over' from their Christmas mini-album 'A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like A Kiss)'.

The gig was watched by the likes of The Rascals and The Last Shadow Puppets frontman Miles Kane and Echo And The Bunnymen legend Ian McCulloch.

The presence of the latter inspired Glasvegas to make a last minute change to their setlist to include a cover of 'The Killing Moon' from the Liverpool band's 1984 album 'Ocean Rain'.

Later crowd favourite 'Go Square Go' sparked mass sing-a-longs of: "Here we fucking go!" before the encore of 'S.A.D Light' and finisher 'Daddy's Gone' brought the show to a climactic and thunderous close.

One forgotten t and a mistaken punctuation mark is all it takes.-

Should have read:

I'd like to see this.
