The concert was excellent, bar certain moronic members of the audience. Although I have listened to - and appreciated - Mark Lanegan's music for many years, it was actually the first time I saw him perform live!
I was awestruck by the entire band. Lanegan's voice was even more nuanced and magnificent than I had expected it to be.
The guitarist is bloody brilliant!!

The Abart Club in Zurich has hosted a number of great groups.
However, it's a difficult venue, due to low roofing and cramped space.
The band was extremely laid back under the circumstances.
I was unfortunate location-wise; I was wedged between snogging crusties, animated Jazz-dancers and a silly cow who kept on babbling away to her boyfriend at the top of her voice during songs like A Hundred Days. At the end of the gig I was ready to rip her hair out.

Overall it was wonderful, if I had the time and finances I would definitely see Mark and the Band in concert as often as possible !
