Enjoyable if not in any way revelatory. The songs from their latest album - which I haven't listened to - were front-loaded and after the first half hour or so it was one 'greatest hit' after another. I had memories of them doing many of these in one or both of the previous shows of theirs I've been to (2006 and 2010), and I was happy that all of my biggest main-album favourites got a run: "Testament to Youth in Verse", "Champions of Red Wine", "The Bleeding Heart Show". Not sure whether there was something going on with Newman's voice, or if it was something to do with the sound, which led to him being even more in the shadow of Case's than was possibly always inevitable.
