Who was there? What did you think?

I was blown away, after 10 years of waiting (in which time I think they cancelled three shows I had tickets to and never had refunded) the band completely lived up to my expectations, though in a totally different way than I would have liked as a 16 year old. Fair dos on sticking to newer material, much as it would have been nice to hear some Everything You Always Wanted To Know..., and the Worship and Tribute-era stuff really shone.

I think the new material alienated a lot of people though, to the extent where even the lyric-shouting superfan next to me left before they'd finished the extended encore. I thought it was a great idea, give 'em what they want in the main set then leave them with the new stuff, but I think a lot of folk weren't feeling it so much. Anyway, I was mighty impressed that it was more than a nostalgic exercise, and I'm loving the new album already.
