  • Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy

Along_the_Wire Usually, though, when bands do their ‘famous album anniversary tour’ they play a set of the album then another set, or an encore of, some of their other hits

      bosstrabs yep, remember primal scream belting out Rocks and Jailbird after playing Screamadelica in its entirety

        Of course, Grant wouldn’t know from his Doves gig because everyone was bored shitless and didn’t shout for an encore, and they don’t have many hits anyway.

          bosstrabs LOL. They do a great encore to be fair to them. Kicking the arse out of Space Face is a all-time gig highlight.

              I saw them play at the Cognac Blues Festival.

              I’m not sure the blues regulars were quite ready for that.

              Drink of the festival: cognac and tonic. If it’s good enough for the locals…

                Will Massive Attack droning on in the background.

                S to the werve!

                Seen them live at a couple of festivals. They make a brilliant late afternoon band, something chilled before taking it up a notch as the evening approaches. However most of the time they would be on later in the evening and you don’t want something chilled at that stage.

                I thought Heligoland was a brilliant album

                Millsy cognac and tonic? Jebus

                To be fair, that is how a lot of frogs drink it.

                So it’s not a heathen thing.

                  The soundtrack of my 6th form days. Banging it out most lunch times in our 6th form common room. So many amazing albums released around that period .
