The gig was absolutely amazing. I was sitting on about the 10th row back in the centre on the ground floor. Starting with me, my yolk and I was brilliant. Its completely changed the way i hear that song from now on.
He did a really laid back version of Rootless tree starting on the piano which was incredible and played unplayed piano, baby sister, childish, the professor. All fantastic non-album tracks.
He also played Coconut Skins merging into a crazy jam session and then into woman like a man. Really incredible live stuff.
The highlight unplugged version of cannonball was the real highlight though, especially when on the ground floor. Aside from one muppet in the crowd screeching along to one part it was a really emotive, personal touch to a predominantly heavy damien gig.
Definitely want to see him again, although he mentioned he'd be going on a break after this tour, just hopefully not for too long!!
