Rocket, Leeds
11th March 2002
The
best and worse concert so far. Again
there were many guitar problems including several broken strings and a broken
guitar strap (during 'Womankind' – fortunately
this was resolved just before the guitar solo).
At one point, Toby broke one of his guitar strings and ripped the others
out in frustration.
On
the other hand, the crowd in Leeds were phenomenal – they sang, clapped and
cheered and generally carried the whole show at time. Toby let the audience sing much more than he had at previous
shows.
There
was a TV crew present at the show – they recorded the show and some before and
after-show interviews for a TV documentary.
Tonight’s
‘Don’t Pray For Me’ was a slightly different
arrangement to the previous shows’ versions – it had a much rock-ier
electric outro not unlike the later Angels live versions (listen to the Live Jam
CD for an example).
Dave
Kemp sadly wasn’t present tonight – the absence of saxophone is especially
noticeable on ‘Radical Your Lover’.
Guitarist Nick Dunne got a surprise during the show when Toby kissed him smack on the lips, at Newcastle all he got was a peck on the cheek. As soon as the song was over he ran to a bottle of water and gargled very quickly!
