I saw both shows and have to say that I agree with this review. Damien showed a bit more interest the second night but neither of these shows were the "triumphant homecoming" I had hoped for.
Other than Lisa's song the 2nd night and the highlight of both shows, Damien only played one truly new tune (not sure of title but it's the one with the cowbells). Repeat, one new tune. Maybe I shouldn't have had expectations for more but it's been 2 years since he played his own gig in Ireland. Should I not have expected more?
I hope he's saving something for Electric Picnic but since PJ Harvey is playing at the same time I might miss him. I'm not really losing sleep about it.
