Interesting place, lots of concrete, and I mean lots, and not the most welcoming of locals, although the staff in the venue were great.
They didn't come on until 10.15 which was a bit of a pain in the arse as it meant getting a cab home, but they were on good form, more banter from Mark than normal and funnier too. Some technical hiccups on Adam's guitar, which meant Teenage Jesus and Carnt Be Trusted got swapped around on the set, also got a bit of the Sweeney theme.
Setlist
Solomon Bites The Worm
Bluetonic
A New Athens
Keep The Home Fires Burning
Cut Some Rug
The Culling Song
Carnt Be Trusted (first attempt)
I Was A Teenage Jesus
Head On A Spike
Carry Me Home
Sleazy Bed Track
Between Clark And Hilldale
Slight Return
The Day That Never Was
Marblehead Johnson
Never Going Nowhere
Carnt Be Trusted
If
Would hope they'll see sense and drop the cover. It's their farewell tour and most people want to hear Bluetones songs.

If that's the farewell tour setlist, or very similar to it, than that's really fucking disappointing. Isn't that basically the setlist they've been doing for the past 2 years? And you'd think they'd do some longer setlists this time too.

I'd expect that to still be the festival warmup setlist... they were still missing the keyboard player last night.

Not much from Science and Nature but other than that i'm quite happy with it.

Well, you're easily pleased then as it isn't any different than setlist from the past couple of years!? And seriously, who wants or needs to hear 4 tracks from the last album, which Mark himself admitted they didn't put much effort in to? Playing rubbish like Carry Me Home and the Culling Song during farewell shows would be misjudging things slightly I reckon. I was looking forward to these gigs, as I thought they might finally put some effort into their lives shows!

I'd rather not hear The Culling Song but then i'd happily not hear Slight Return at all on the farewell tour. I do want songs off the last album and hope The Day That Never Was stays in the set at least. As i said other than them not playing hardly anything off Science and Nature i'm quite happy with it as its a good mixture of classics and newer stuff.

Out of that lot I'd keep:
Keep The Home Fires Burning
Cut Some Rug
The Culling Song
I Was A Teenage Jesus
Marblehead Johnson
Never Going Nowhere
If
And stick in:
Zorrro
Slackjaw
Emily's Pine
Here It Comes Again
Little Bear
I Love The City
Turn It Up
Serenity Now
Mine In The Morning
Surrendered
Baby, Back Up
My Neighbour's House
The Last Song But One
I would also add Broken Starr as the final song in Japan,before setting off the nuclear devices to blow the whale-murderers into oblivion and prevent an embarrassing come-back attempt in 2012.
