[Bumpman]

Here's the full setlists for both nights, I took them down as they were being played but there was two or three songs played over the two nights that were getting their first performances. On a whole I'd tend to agree in saying that the first night wasn't as tight as the second night. I reckon that if the band had played the same quality show both nights no-one would have been really able to argue with the quality of the performances. The reason the first show will take a bit of a beating is that the second show was the kind of performance that you dream of seeing once every two or three years. The first night was somewhat held back by the positioning of the band onstage too, they were standing in a line that was placed a bit too far back on the stage, on the second night they were all dotted about the stage along with about fifty candles and some incense, which made it feel a bit more spontaneous and less like a zoo. Also the way the second show started was nice, with the band coming on in increments, it sort of slowed the whole thing down, having a seven-piece ensemble appear out of nowhere was weird on the first night.

The real treats over the two nights were things like hearing Lisa sing Nine Crimes, she's added new vocal parts to it too, and they sound absolutely great. Coconut Skins now has drum, bass and electric guitar parts to it and they really are fantastic, the second night it sort of took on a more paced feel and Damien's vocals for it were quite strong. Is That It My Friend? is a genuinely fantastic song, and I would say is probably in the vein of Cheers Darlin', but the fact that it's been hoarded away for so long is a crime. The version of Volcano on the second night was so tight it almost sounded like a studio recording, I mean it was literally perfect. The best part of both shows overall was hearing Lisa play a song... She was amazing. Just amazing... Anyway, here's the setlists;
