Tom 13808 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I have seen them once before. They are a top class live act but I prefer their older material, which they still play plenty of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage of being older than you Tom is I've also seen them a few times over the period of their career. But the rumour on the supergrass message board is they are refusing to play Alright! Which is no big deal in my opinion. The only thing that I'm upset about it Black Francis is also playing tonight and tonight only whereas Supergrass are playing tonight and tomorrow night!!! But how are you to know that when you buy tickets three month in advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13808 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I went to see Supergrass in 2005, so by then I suppose their creative peak was long gone. Still good though. I wasn't fussed about Alright either, 'Moving' was the best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 2929 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Enjoy I like Supergrass I, on the other hand am off to see my brothers band in Leeds Awesome and outstanding is the only way to describe most of the gig. Eighty percent of the gig was the last two albums, and as a fan of road to rouen who can appreciate the highlights of Diamond hoo ha, that's not a bad thing. They did Mary, complete with e-bow, which was great but they did this shite abridged version of caught by the fuzz which was disappointing because they started it, had a break, started the next verse and then didn't finish it. But with the pluses, they sounded tight and together, they mixed it up for a selection of tracks and Gazza has this bizare mo that makes him look 19 and trying hard. We might go again tomorrow night if it isn't too hard, sleeze ball is on next door so you never know what you'll tread in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
