Set list was similar, encore was Irish Blood / English Heart though. Also played Magazine's "Under the Floorboards" which he announced as being terrible the night before. Unfortunately it was pretty terrible that night too, but had little to do with sound. I just dont think the song suits him. Was glad to read that its not one of his. Many highlights, notably - "At last I am Born", "How Soon is Now", "Life is a Pigsty" "Work of Art" and "Still Ill". Moz was in flying form, lots of tongue in cheekism, mike lead whipping, lyric substitutions "England's a swine/and it owes me a living" and whoops and yelps not heard by me since scratchy Smiths vinyl. Also, nice intro to the band about half way through the set. I did miss "Last night I dreamt" but I think "Life is a Pigsty" filled the gap nicely. Also, nice to hear another Smiths classic live in person - "Girlfriend in a coma". Defo gave us Smiths fans a thrill. Atmosphere was great - packed house and mixed crowd, but everyone was there for the main event. Looking forward to the next outing!

I don't think there were sound problems but it must have been bogey onstage because I did see him wince a couple of times. great review though gleeson! the gig was amazing.
