26 August, 2004- Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth, UK please scroll down for all reviews and artifacts 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... setlist from Kerry |
