drTStingray Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Sounds brilliant guys - wish I'd been there. Isnt it excellent to have a band as accomplished as this playing music that really makes you smile - and with an excellent bass player. Can't beat it. 2 Quote

You may have also seen me walk down and have a conversation (twice) with a young lady who thought it would be OK to stand up on the stairs and block everyone's view 🙄 You all stepped on my feet on your way back and forward to your seats!

Burns-bass Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Still don’t get it but the video was cool, and great all the excitement for a new band! Quote
Andy Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I'm going tonight - really looking forward to it! 😀 Quote
Andy Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 A really great gig last night - thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it 😀 Quote
Phill Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 I was in awe all the way through! really enjoyed it 😁 Quote
toneknob Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 I was really enjoying it up until around Funky Duck, then someone was sick on me so priorities changed somewhat 1 Quote

It'll be interesting to see whether EBMM market a signature model - it sounds entirely possible from the comments they've made. 1 Quote
GisserD Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I hate to say it but I wasn't really as impressed with them this time round... Obviously the mucicianship and individual performances were second to none, but its the same show year on year... Support from joey, Cory wong in the crowd, Jacks handstand ending etc. ... Apart from the 3 new songs in the set... The "show"was the same as it was last year. The venue sounded terrible in my opinion. Even Jack Stratton mentioned that it was like playing in a cave. I was left a bit cold this time I don't think I'll see them again. Quote

My idiot cat tried to eat a wasp and so needed some urgent medical attention. I managed to pass my tickets to a mate in London but he only caught the last 5 songs... I saw them in Brixton Academy last year and I just think it's the wrong shape venue for them, the reverb is totally wrong. It was still ace though Quote
Floyd Pepper Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Well I had the benefit of never having seen them before so I was very entertained by their performance. Must admit that the FOH mix wasn’t the best I’ve ever heard but I thought that was because I was upstairs. Quote
Rumple Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I was there on the Thursday night, it was a very good gig indeed and the crowd (mostly bass players?) really seemed into it. I was surprised at how much love the support band were getting, stupid me didn't realise who it was! Quote

I think it's invidious to call the tour 'Wisdom of Crowds' and to expect the audience to be happy with a carbon copy show. The part where Theo etc pretended to be Peckapella 'for (their) first gig ever' made me cringe this time. I would think twice about going to see them live again, particularly at the cost increases by a tenner year on year. Edited October 10, 2018 by acidbass Quote
