Blackburn gig

Forth gig of the best of tour tonight, fantastic gig, Jimi seemed to be enjoying himself. For me personally it was a very emotional gig. Setlist can be found in the comment. I was not able to get a setlist myself as I had to leave just before the last song. I am not sure about the order of a few songs but those were the songs which have been played.

02 Academy Glasgow


Once again Glasgow did not disappoint. Of the four shows I caught on the tour, this was by far the best of the lot. Up their with one of the best Doves shows I’ve seen. Both band and crowd were brilliant. An unscheduled performance of Spaceface topped the night off. Cherry Ghost earlier opened playing all new songs to an appreciative audience.
