Alice wrote:All and Everyone and Written on the Forehead are great. But I think that Mick Harvey's ruined a little On the Battleship Hill. PJ was drowned by him. At least on the beginning. I hope that Angelene will be back, in full-time gig. Anyway, it was STUNNING. And Polly looks sooo good.
I think it was great. she often spoke that this song should be sang by many voices
I loved On Battleship Hill. Maybe it's because I am a massive Mick fan!
All in all great gig, the sound was perfect! Highlights of the show for me were Bitter Branches, The Glorious Land, Written On The Forehead and England, in these last three I loved how the samples worked perfectly. I liked a lot the men's choir on The Colour Of The Earth and The Words That Maketh Murder. Sadly The Last Living Rose and On Battleship Hill sound better on the record, in my opinion, and I was hoping they would use the Istanbul sample on Let England Shake but it looks like they completly scrapped it even live. The encore was absolutely unexpected but nice, although Meet Ze Monsta lacked in vocal interpretation and Mick Harvey totally ruined Silence with his singing!
Anyway, Polly is in great shape and her performance was flawless, as well as Jean Marc's! He's great both on drums and second voice! Mick and John are obviously good too and reliable musicians, but the drummer surprised me mostly.
The only disappointment is that I was hoping to see some brass being played live by one of the boys instead of keyboards.
really an incredible show, Let England Shake hear very well live,but the part that I liked most was the encore especially DOWN BY THE WATER, C'MON BILLY, and MEET ZE MONSTA Polly is art.
!!!! I love PJ Harvey...She changed my life forever ¡¡¡¡¡
somebody recorded it? rpped the video? i recorded most of the set but the connection failed in songs like words, mosnta and silence all the time, so they are useless
