Saw Matt last night. Good show, but a little annoying. No filming or pics. I get it to a degree. But he rarely tours over here. He makes you sit through his new album in its entirety. Unfortunately I don't think it's his best work....I like maybe three songs. Then after the intermission, he's says we are allowed to stand. Sit monkey! Stand monkey! This was the kind of thing I always thought his songs were against. Also, be prepared to see a lot of his butt and back, because he played a lot with his back to the audience. I don't live in the past and we all mature. But you can still have some of the ethos remain.
I have lost count of how many live shows I've seen over the years, easily upper hundreds, and cant remember a band policing the audience like that. Sounds like a bad experience. Sad.
@@shugacookie45 Honestly, I feel that the degree things like this get policed is at the direction of the artist. Matt seems to be very controlling of a lot of things. I saw The Pretenders, and Chrissie Hynde was getting huffy about cell phones. Sorry, but she is a female Icon. Who is not going to want to get a song or pic of her? But at that venue they'd never really be able to police all the phones.
@@privatemale2147 I thought it was utterly refreshing and thoroughly enjoyed not having some idiot in front of me filming the show, all bands should do it.
I’m glad there is this recording, is very hard for me to concentrate and having a video helps, I’ve never saw them live before, so I was very happy I was able too, but I agree, seating half of the show to hear a new album was weird for me,
Oh no, you can't record a 5 minute video that you're never going to re-watch. How horrid. Snap out of it, you don't actually need that shit. Enjoy the moment.
He still sounds great. Thanks for posting. I am excited to see him next month.
Seeing them tonight at the Opera House 🎉🇦🇺
Have to say, they were great. Loved the set where they put new stuff first and end on all the old time faves!
Thanks!🫶
Jaysus. His voice still sounds like silk.
It's still really impressive
Saw them last time in Belfast must be 5 or 6 yrs ago, fantastic set, as clear and precise . Well worth seeing.
Wild keyboard.
Pretty sure they’d asked people not to film the show..
They are probably embarrassed by how awful they are live.
@@jeffl.8489 clearly you’ve never been to see them then..
I’m old but that comment is from a time long ago! 😅
did you video "GIANT"? by any chance?
Sorry - only "Uncertain Smile"
One of my favourite ever songs
