Totally agree. I was moved to tears a couple of time by the shear beauty of the whole experience. And the audience was enraptured. I was upstairs with my 16 year old Son, it was his first proper gig, and we were both completely in awe. the silence of the audience when listening to the quieter parts of the tracks just reinforced the respect the crowd had for the band and the music. after one such moment, when the band stopped, someone just yelled out simply "thank you".
Perfect summation of a perfect gig. So many of the words you used, Simon, are the very ones I've use since last night, transcendent being the prime one. They really are the best at what they do, so effortless but with staggering perfection.
Well said, Simon. That would have to be up there with the best gigs I've been to. Great venue for it too I thought - they really suited the Opera House (or it suited them?). And as you mentioned, it was great to have an audience that respected the sound - no drunken jabbering through the quiet parts!
