Last night Mercury Rev were stunning

Funny band.
First album ACE
next two..hmmmmmm
4th album.....CLASSIC
5th ace but not as good
6th boring
7th MENTAL and pretty good

They are distinctly unreliable band l;ive and have been a bit dull live for some time.

But last night they were fucking awesome. Nice mix of songs. Could have done with none from Secret Migration but that's just me. Sounded HUGE. SBE has generally quite muffled sound but this was crystal clear with some sort of vicious sub bass percussive cannon thing going on that shook the floor.

V trippy projections. A little cliched but damn effective.

Jonathan was not the mogadon wizard he has been of late but more a gigantic evil itchy pixie. Mebbe he thought there were snipers (there were) but he didnt stoop bouncing around.

Outrageously good.
