Good show. I didnt get the full setlist. very similar to Oran Mór from what i recall.. To Bring You My Love was on setlist again, unplayed. Rich wandered through the venue, unnoticed, a couple of times before the support acts.. as did Rosa. i considered going over to say hello, but didnt bother. the gospel singers from the '07 tour were at the venue. not singing.  they were stood with the sound guys all night. my one complaint is the same complaint as last time i saw them - Paper Money. no Lanegan roar in the loud section. just utter silence from him during that part which, on record, is the absolute pay-off. |

Yeah, was a pretty good show but I didn't enjoy it as much as Bush Hall in 2007.
The gospel singers would have been a great addition on stage, but there probably wasn't room for them!
I think the most important news out of this show is the fact that they were selling a live CD recorded at the Troubadour in LA on December 2, 2007!
I only had a quick skim through it last night but it sounds fantastic (professionally mixed soundboard recording) and is 13 tracks over 62 minutes.
It was only £8 and is definitely worth checking out!

yeah, i preferred Bush Hall.. as a venue and as a show. but that's not to knock last night's show.
i didnt notice the live CD.. gutted.
also the sound guys were recording last night's show straight into pro tools.. although i think they had some problems early on and they definitely missed at least half of the second or third song.

I was there last night... I was really surprised it was such a short set. About 60 minutes altogether. They sounded great for those 60 minutes though. I have to say, I was ready to like Red Ghost going into last night, but her support performance was terribly underwhelming. She has no stage presence or charisma and she really holds her vocals back. I do like her voice but all her songs were the same tempo and she just doesn't show any kind of range. I was really disappointed/bored. I also missed the live CDs. I didn't see any merch anywhere. Soulsavers tech was a bit of an ass... he made sure no one got any of the setlists, like they were some sort of secret government document. One security guy was about to give one of the fans one but this guy took it back from him. I've never seen anything like that. It seemed really petty. Oh I have a few photos, nothing too interesting, the usual Mark pics. www.flickr.com/photos/jmgphotos/3864639906/ |

I wonder why they weren't selling the cd in Manchester or Glasgow? That's a shame.

This really upset me I had a near on religious experience at Bush Hall so last night had a lot to live up to...it didn't quite work for me but hey ho, still a good show! Oh and I do believe I was standing behind Mr Mokkly, I considered saying hello but didn't bother  |

I think it's from reading that Q&A with Rich. |

I thought it was a great gig. A nice touch to play "Hit the City" as well.

We went to the Garage gig, nearly didnt see them! came from Cardiff , got stuck in traffic for 4 hours most of that time in London, still in traffic at 7pm when doors opened...still in traffic at 8pm, parked car, ran to hotel in Kings Cross with bags, got to the room, chucked bags in and went to set off to the gig, couldnt find the tickets!! not only the Soulsavers tickets but also our Reading weekend tickets all in the same envelope, had a massive panic attack, time now getting on for 8.30! hoped they hadnt fallen out our bags when running, ran back to the car, checked the floor and found them under the seat, phew, what a relief!!! ran back out, jumped in a taxi, arrived at the gig at 9pm sweaty and stressed out, only to find they wernt due on til 9.45!! was well was worth it tho, good gig, ive nothing to compare to as its the first time ive seen the Soulsavers. Reading performance was a far more subdued affair , obviously a much shortened set, got right to the front as it wasnt that packed, but their lighting is so dim still couldnt see much! they seemed to be going through the motions a bit. Nice bonus on that day was seeing Sweethead, really good, Josh's new project which wasnt even billed, just happened to pass the tent and hear his voice!! sounded awesome, really enjoyed Spinnerette too, better than I thought they would be... would be nice if Mark could show some slight acknowledgment that there is an audience in front of him though, he doesnt have to do much just a little something to show us he's glad we turned up!

Too bad the Gospel Singers weren't singing. They really added a lot to the shows lat time around.
