I felt like the mix was a bit thin for the Jools Holland special. But then maybe that's just TV recordings. The Primavera Sao Paolo live-stream sounded perfectly meaty enough.

So, absolutely no consistency over the album ratings apart from The Car being roundly panned.  Fair enough.

It’s literally joint first for their highest rated album on Metacritic?

Highlights from 2013 on bbc four tonight for anyone interested.

There’s a good series on BBC Sounds regarding the debut and their impact. Each podcast is split into 15 minutes so it makes for easy listening.

I'd rather the Reytons were playing. Their album reached no. 1 today, no record label deal, just a whole lot of fans. Would be awesome on the farm!

About 4 minutes and 30 seconds long

Just kidding, I actually enjoyed their set in 2013

[nikkic]

I didn’t go to the festival in 2013, but have just watched their set on iPlayer.

Low rent Elvis impersonations aside, it actually looked a decent set. Good track list and crowd well into it.

I’ve seen them live a few times and thought they were average, but this certainly looked much better than that.

For those who went and didn’t enjoy it, what was the reason?

I didn't go but remember enjoying it on TV at the time, moreso than the Earl's Court show I saw four months later (though that was because of the bass being inaudible and ruining the mix).

In retrospect it almost feels like the goodbye to the pre-AM period, given this was after Do I Wanna Know and R U Mine had been released but before the full AM album, meaning this was essentially close to a greatest hits set in the time before AM came out and ended up basically taking over.

AM will be almost 10 by the time they play glasto, pretty mad

[Ell99]

As my group of 4 were lucky enough to get Glasto tickets, we have decided to sell our standing tickets for the AM gig at the Emirates on Friday June 16th.

Seeing them two Friday nights in a row seems a bit much! If anyone is interested in purchasing 4 tickets please do let me know! On sale for face value which is a hefty £340 (£85 each).

Worth pointing out the first gig of the Europe/UK tour had probably the best setlist in the past 10 years. Fluorescent Adolescent making its return after almost 10 years. Suck It and See which I'm most excited about. Good signs for the UK tour and Glastonbury.

Yeah good setlist that. Seems to have been ordered pretty well too with a decent split across the albums.
Only 6 songs from TBH&C and The Car, so should still go down pretty well with a festival crowd.

I actually loved the set in 2013. It was my first Glasto, first pyramid headliner. And I found it completely and utterly brilliant. Got me going. All time festival highlight for me...

...and that's exactly why I won't be there this year! 🤣

Absolutely 🥛🧋

I've had two five pound bets with my brother.

1, They'll end the main set with A Certain Romance like they did in 2013 (btw one of my favorite ever Glasto performances, watching the encore with the strings near the Mandella bar with a fresh cold cider was just magical)

2, They'll do something special, like the string section in 2013, during the encore. My brother....."Miles Kane coming out for 505 doesnt count" 🤣

Weird to only play 4 songs off of The Car on a tour supporting The Car. 

Also That’s Where You’re Wrong > Suck It And See for me, so I hope they switch that one back. 

[Jacko45]

New setlist looks almost perfect. 

I'm biased as I'm a huge fan, but they've a huge back catalogue - that setlist is a very nice spread of the albums.

Let’s be honest, at least two of those four songs + the Tranquility Base stuff are gonna be lulls/let’s nip off for a pint and/or piss points of their set, so probably best they keep it at that number. They may have gone a bit slow and experimental on record but fill a live set with that stuff and it’s gonna suck all energy and momentum out of it and leave a lot of people unhappy.

They aren't filling a live set with it? And those 4 songs will sound class live.
