They pretty much played II note for note which was weird. I could only get with the concept if the artist radically reinterpreted the original. They made no effort whatsoever in that regard. I definitely wouldn't want to see John Martyn redo Solid Air, for instance. For me the gig really came alive once they'd done the album - I don't want to know what's coming next, I'd rather be surprised. Tindersticks are such a weird band - so gloomy that I can't help laughing, so oddly narrow in the furrow they plough. Staples sings like Vic Reeves' in a club style. I've never witnessed a band with less charisma. They looked like a bunch of reluctant Stars In Their Eyes contestants standing in for a real band. I really enjoyed it.

Glad that you found the concert pleasant, I had to admit I found it a bit boring, and the choice of the second album was not among my favourites. thank you for your comment on my blog, and especially for the nice photos (i see you were on the left of the theatre, I was in level 1, straight in the bottom).
