Went to see Supergrass at Portsmouth Pyramids last night. It was the fifth time I’ve seen them and by far the best. This is because:

1st time: Southampton Guildhall - crap acoustics, couldn’t hear a word Gaz was saying between songs. Band weren’t really up for it, crowd weren’t really up for it.

2nd time: Oxford South Park, supporting Radiohead. A slow start, band didn’t look like they enjoyed playing second fiddle to Radiohead. Things improved massively after “Moving”.

3rd & 4th times: Southampton Guildhall - same as 1st time.

5th time: Portsmouth Pyramids. Much smaller venue, excellent acoustics and sound setup. Band were loving it, full of energy and ready for a summer of festivals, crowd were loving it, they played all their top top songs - a fine time had by all. One of the best live bands in the world.
