Lightning Bolt - NAIS - Given to Fly = big and a nice little bit o'

Spoiler: show

And then..... Sirens....

Listened to Leeds today and it's as good as people have said. Mostly perfect performance/energy/etc til Ghost, which starts out great but they flub near the end. Sirens has its usual lyric problems, but it also feels like the band is off too. But after that, they're pretty much spot on, even on the rarities.

Great performances on tons of songs. Eddie gets a bit long-winded at times, but it's never the drunk/cringeworthy stuff, though he does keep trying to add to the crowd-participation even when they're already clearly involved. But this is a rarity: a modern-day PJ show that I didn't attend that I will give repeated listens.

there's a concerted effort to get to Bruce's level, on this tour..and that's nowhere more apparent than the choice to upscale to bigger rooms, but especially in eds banter onstage...Leeds has him in better mood onstage than I can ever remember hearing. Maybe just a good day? maybe a bit more focused and god forbid calculated..PJ having been 'a party band' to the determent of their message, for too long now...according to some people..not me i think it suits them and to be ever the angry young men blatting out the mysterious dark vibe up to angry (old) men playing angry young mems music, would look ridiculous...

i'm 5 beers in..make of that what you will

Leeds is that good yeah...besides the setlist is great. .man of the hour, fatal, push me pull me!

surprised nobodys mentioned it yet...i havent cos they fucking nailed it and i wasnt there...

always thought they shouldnt play this one...the magic of it is in the production and impossible to replicate, atmosphere...

then they went and nailed it...


fuckers..

There was a thread on how good that was.

And yes, fuckin good.

They really did. Hopefully it pops up again on this Fall tour.

Mind Your Manners sounds pretty pretty good on leeds too.

Think there's a false dilemma here. ' Angry old men' and 'party band' aren't the only two options.

Tell them that

Leeds is that good. Really good.

I remember being there thinking Tremor Christ sounded fantastic, and the boot shows that it did. Just wish it wasn't tuned half step down. It's a great live tune, they should play it a bit more often live (only 11 times since 2000) as it really carries well.

9 tracks into Leeds and the performance and energy are exactly as you guys described. They seem to be firing.

I haven't heard Pendulum for a while. Did they jam it out a bit or is it close to the album version? It seemed to have more room and space to it.

Guess I need to listen to this "Leeds" show.

It's the same length as the album, about 3.45

LOVE the little Ed back and forth with the guitar at the end of 'Of The Girl' on the Leeds boot.

Aside from one or two mistakes, Leeds is stellar.

Alright, the Leeds lovefest continues. I'm listening right now after getting through Hartford (which seemed like the 2013 show of choice). Leeds slays Hartford.

Of the Girl is a nice early treat, but even PMPM was spot on and enjoyable. I also loved this version of Sirens with the crowd getting into it. Epic!

Moth, All or none, Fatal...amazing run!

Slap an Ape-Man logo on this one.

I've been really enjoying the Vienna show, would recommend.

Probably my favourite 2013-2014 setlist thus far (and the performance ain't bad either).

Listening to parts of the Leeds show, yeap, it's good. I like that Ed acknowledged he fucked up Ghost, makes me think he cares.
