review by Amphetamine Logic

Great show...my first time at a Mark show so maybe I'm slightly off... Support band The Duke Spirit were alright, fairly ordinary female-fronted indie band...Like I find with a lot of support bands if you don't know them It sounds like they're playing the same thing for half an hour. Timing was slightly off compared to normal, Mark came on at around 10. I was right on the barrier in the centre in front of Mark's mic, couldn't see his face at all other than a few camera flashes, built a good atmosphere though. Mainly stuff from the last few albums, though it was my first time so I was pretty pleased with whatever he played. Couldn't hear the female vocals too well other than on the new songs, probably cause of where I was standing. When Your Number...made a pretty cool opening, Mark managed to say "thank you" between most of the songs, don't know if he really enjoyed himself but he seemed ok...I was pleased to hear Pendulum, One Way Street etc anyway, no real surprises though. Finished with Methamphetamine Blues like usual, one encore-Sleep With Me/Resurrection Song/Fix, left the band to jam after. Played for about 1 hour 10 or so...

I'm pretty sure this the the full setlist, not sure about order:

When Your Number Isn't Up
Hit The City
Wedding Dress
Creeping Coastline Of Lights
No Easy Action
