Yeah, I've just got home from that gig too. I have mixed feelings about it. Fourth time I've seen her and I think probably my least favourite performance. She didn't seem to be in the mood for it. Barbican too big, too much space between band and crowd. I feel the band were a bit edgy, almost scared of her! Still great to see the queen of cool on our shores, she was just a little short of her usual high level of excellence.
She's at the Paradiso in Amsterdam tomorrow night. I'd love to be at that one. I've played there myself and it's a very special place. Old church, lovely natural reverb. Roll on next year!
