Some excellent pictures of both JM&TM and OMD at the Leeds gig on Ed Fielding's official flickr page.

I posted a couple of photos (not very good ones this time) and a small review of The Sage (Gateshead) gig here:

Somehow I've managed not to look at the forum for months! Yes, let's do it - sometime in Feb would be good for me. Not sure where though.

Some more thoughts about the Brum gig:
Setlist...
Evidence
He's A Liquid
Evergreen
No-One Driving
Summerland
The Running Man
Burning Car
Catwalk
Underpass

Like I've already said, I don't think Evidence & HAL were a good choice to start a set for OMD fans. Evergreen was much more like it, and a revelation to me, since for some odd reason it's one of the JFATM tracks I've hardly ever heard. It's a great song and it was done really well. The gig was great from then on - thankfully the performance of the ridiculous Running Man nonsense was much better than the song - and Catwalk was very effective. The set was a bit unimaginative though and some more thought could've been given to what would go down well with OMD fans, rather than the pretence that there's still a Dark concept to Foxxism.

I found it hard to summon up much enthusiasm for the OMD set even though they're one of my favourite bands and I was at the Odeon the last time they played Brum. (Dear god I've just checked the 2013 setlist and see I sat through 24 songs!!) I haven't bought or listened to anything they've done since "New Head" and the only songs they played that I really care about were Messages, Enola Gay and Electricity. The new stuff washed over me in that kind of "What's the point?" way that you get with artists you've lost connection with.

Happy New Year!
