"…To see the show as a non-committed enthusiast was a great experience. There were emphatic highs, like set-opener Private Eye running straight into Calling All Skeletons, which had the masses singing their hearts out. There was an especially poignant moment when Goodbye Forever was dedicated to the late great Jerry Finn, and was delivered with the kind of conviction that made me glad I parted with my cash and made the trip. There seemed to be a perfect blend of anthemic nostalgia to underpin the bulk of the set. Tracks from albums 'From Here To Infirmary', 'Good Mourning' and even earlier were tossed in confidently. It's admirable for a band to be unafraid of dipping into a discography and seeking fan-favourites over music television hits (notably missing were Stupid Kid and We've Had Enough), and the gesture was met with riotous applause after every song's final chord."
