saw the incredible P.W.E.I. last night, band I've loved since I was introduced to This is the day... when I was at secondary school, but only seen once before at Phoenix Festival.

gig was advertised as part of a 3 day "greatest hits" tour, and the crowd was mostly like me, i.e. middled aged ppl there to see a band they've loved and followed since their youth :)

They were really good, Clint Mansell left the band many years ago to do the Hollywood soundtrack thing ( wonder what happened to him? ;) ) but Mary Byker is a great front man on the old and newer songs.

there were 3 new songs in the set, but they were surrounded by known and loved songs, so didn't slow things down. Good that a group of middled aged men on stage can still jump around for 90mins as can an audience :)

didn't take many photos, and just took a little video of one of the encore songs:

Elbow at the finally open, infamous Co-Op Live Arena.  They were superb as ever and the arena really impressive, although I did glance to the ceiling a few times..
