In all respects this was a fantastic show at a VERY small venue. Sadly, it was barely half full but the band gave it their all with a top-notch set. While I know they are promoting the new album, it would have been nice to hear some more obscure tracks to see how they sound as well. Chris seemed a bit tired throughout the evening, but Glenn’s vocals and guitar work was phenomenal. Still, Mr. Difford received the biggest applauses. Interestingly, Glenn didn’t switch his guitar the whole night and he has been playing a Strat rather than the Telecaster.

I’m not sure how many “die-hard” fans were in the audience, but it is quite clear that there was a drop off in reception for the post 1983 material that was played (“Hourglass, “Loving You Tonight,” “If It’s Love).

I was desperately hoping that they would sneak something in from _Play_ or even _Ridiculous_. I would have also enjoyed some acoustic or stripped-down numbers such as “Tough Love” or “Can of Worms.”

I suppose for the casual fan this was fantastic, and while they were generally excellent, as a true fan, I wanted more obscure stuff. I wonder if “Cupid’s Toy” or “Vicky Verky” will ever make it into a set again…
