Supergrass' and their farewell gig @ Brixton

[willyjc]

Was there last night. Really enjoyable evening and thorough review of their back catalogue - they played 4 songs from each of their 6 albums, working backwards from the most recent.

Really got going in the second half...tore the roof off with Caught by the Fuzz at the last.

I was there last night,

Loved the 80's info-mercials before they started and the VT segments introducing each album - that was cool.

As you said, it really got going in the second half of the set and it's a real shame the're calling it a day

'I Should Coco' was the sound track to my driving lessons\passing my test so it was great to hear so much of that album again. I must have seen them about half a dozen times over the years and it wasn't until last night that I heard them play 'Alright' live!

Did you catch any of the support? Taylor Hawkins and the 'Coat-tail Riders' were excellent entertainment too.

Loved the fact that Taylor Hawkins made sure his kit was at the front..."it's my band and i can do it my way".
My daughter is learning to play drums and she aspires to play like him in full attack mode!

Shame that Supergrass are splitting but the fact that some of the more recent material passed much of the audience by was telling. Really glad i was there though - remember hearing Caught by the Fuzz for the first time on the John Peel show and thought it was as good a 2 minutes and 20 seconds of tune as i will ever hear. Still think so...
