MISTY'S BIG ADVENTURE @ MANCHESTER ACADEMY 2, 1 MARCH 2008


The hardest working band touring the UK at the moment? Back in Manchester but alas without dancer-cheerleader-mascot Volvo who went out for a pizza after a recent gig and never came back (I did see a woman nearly in tears at the news).

The usual bag of tricks from the band; added to tonight's repetoire was playing all their singles in chronological order. Nice touch - but "Dog Like You" should have been a single. And threw in a few new songs too like "The Start of the Century", "the Rainbow and The Cloud" and "Television's (?) People". One new song was described as "indie jazz" - luckily it wasn't.



The set-list:
Instrumental
The Long Conveyor Belt
She Fills The Spaces
How Did You Manage To Get Inside My Head?
Smart Guys Wear Ties
I'm Cool With A Capital C
Night Time Better Than Daytime
Hey Man
The Story of Love
Fashion Parade
The Start of The Century
Television's People
We Do! Do We? We Do!
A Dog Like You
Between You and Me
The Day The Kids Went Radioactive
Serious Thing
The Rainbow and The Cloud

(and Crumpled Up Guy somewhere in second half)
The Black Hole [BUY]
Fashion Parade single [BUY]
