To be honest - I don't think they quite brought the magic last night. They played well. It was great to have Do You Like Rock Music? played in its entirety, an album experience and a gig at the same time. But - I thought the set sagged a bit in the middle. Just a couple too many of those drawn-out, moody outros. Interaction with the audience was minimal and there was something a little perfunctory about the whole performance.
I'm sure the venue sucked some of the energy out of the gig. Actually for such a distinguished concert hall, the sound wasn't great. I was amused to see how many different chord voicings Hamilton used to play the same three chord motif in No Lucifer, to no audible effect.
There was no encore, so to speak. More like two sets, punctuated by a very brief intermission. For sure Remember Me and Carrion lifted the atmosphere considerably but on the whole .. a little bit low key.
