It was a really good performance, and definetely very interesting to see ... I've seen lots of bands in Wembley Arena, but never one that so obviously have only just moved up to that sort of league, and also never one that has managed to hold the entire arena silent! As Mr Bluesman said, a lot of the songs did work because they built up to a full band blowout; with guitar effects, distortion, and heaviness. Although the first few songs weren't the best choices IMO ... 9 Crimes especially I was somewhat disappointed with because the lack of Lisa Hannigan was so noticeable. Damien himself is a very likeable guy though, he seemed faintly overwhelmed, and had a charming "Irish rogue" way about him that had the audience laughing, so that was cool.

In general, a very good gig, and one I'm glad I went to see! Highlights for me were the stunning extended version of I Remember / My Baby Shot Me Down, and the full throttle run through Woman Like A Man
