Wow!!! That's amazing!!! The members of the band must have some sort of psychic connection to one another.

Totally off the cuff? In their 30 years was this the first time decided right before walking on stage?

And this is what makes them great -- not trying to latch onto the latest fad.

Did anybody from here go the event? Blinki? It sounded miserable with all the rain and mud.

DL'd that soundboard recording EATB tm Official tweeted about.
Tracks not tagged and sound levels all fucked up. Tagging and maximizing volume. Will do the megaupload thing with the tracks when I'm finished, for anyone interested. Since the band are going in a new "pop" direction, we may never hear these songs again...oh fuck - that means Mac would have to learn a new setlist.

A mate of mine went to that performance. Posted up some pics on facebook of the audience grooving to The Cutter afterwards:

However, one of the youngens was waiting for Coldplay to come on.

Sorry. I thought you were the chap at the top supporting the David Seaman look (ex-England soccer goalkeeper).

Nope. I haven't had that much hair since the 90's

That's awesome, guitarplayer.

The band sounds really good! The volume is really low, though.

Bring on the Dancing Horses sounds awesome and a little differently, which is cool.

From the Star Ledger. His hair does look nice. Thanks, bf.

It is nice to see the line up stay consistent so long. Almost feels like a real band.

And they have added a bit of punch to the old songs.

It sounds like they picked up the pace there. If that song slows down it really really drags.
