just home from this gig, was very very good, they played about 18 tunes, ****ing fantastic.

question i hear the singer writes all the tunes but he doesnt play anything live, what instruments can he play?

A guy I work with said they played for just over half an hour. HALF AN HOUR? FOR £21? That's a joke. If i'd gone, i'd have demanded my money back. They're just taking the piss

Both "Is This It?" and "Room on Fire" clock in at around 30 minutes each so I'm hardly suprised.

NME said that they played for "just over an hour, almost twice as long as some of the sets on previous tours". Thats still too short. I'd be pretty pissed off.

An hour is ridiculously short alright, its frightening to think how short the shows were on the last tour!!! Still thats there music short and snappy and I suppose they only have the 2 albums. They will have to start doing about 8 or 9 cover songs to get up to respectable show times!!!
I think 1hr 30min is minimum for a good concert

I guess they just dont have enough material to pull off what many consider a satisfactory length of show. I had a ticket but wasnt particularly fussed and had to work. Though saying that i saw them in the olypia a year or so back and the atmospheree was so good at the gig it was worth it.

Also the tickets were free.
