Saw them headline Glastonbury in 2008, quite a weird headliner selection considering they have fizzled back into nothingness since! But nevertheless they were really sensational live, all the layers of their music really translate well to a live show. And theres nothing better than a field of 80,00 people singing along to Bittersweet Symphony!
In my opinion though I'm only really a fan of Urban Hymns, that is such a solid complete album bar 1 or 2 songs. A song that really caught my attention of the new album however was Appalachian Springs, really really good song, that reminded me of old style Verve.
