Have to admit I quite liked their early stuff and saw them play in the castle quite a few years back but no interest in them these days (perhaps after I heard he was in the Leeds end for "that" game)
I'm not a fan but went as my wife got tickets as we went in a group of friends.Quote:

It started well - I liked the first song and there were a couple of their older catchy songs in the first 20 minutes and a dedication to Stuart Cable whose son was there.
I got quite bored in the middle bit - probably because I'm not a fan - but everybody around me seemed to be enjoying themselves. It finished as you would expect fine with their two best songs Local Boy and Dakota (which is a damn fine singalong song).
A lot of the time I found their songs sounded remarkably similar (apart from Mr Songwriter which is decent). One song sounded very much like the Who another like Fleetwood Mac and a hell of a lot like Rod Stewart/Faces. But thats my opinion Im sure others differ.
I think they are Coldplay for the Valleys - but there's nothing wrong with that - everyone likes a singalong
The drummer held aloft a City shirt apparently - I don't know why I wasn't paying attention
