Saw Magazine last night playing their first gig together for about 25 years and put simply, they were sensational.
If you've even a passing interest in their music do try and catch them at one of the other UK shows. I'd not seen them live since 81 and am a huge fan so freely admit I'm writing this from a biased perspective.
With Noko on guitar replacing the late John Mcgeogh the sound was sparkling, Devoto on top form (what a fantastic lyricist he is), Doyle & Formula providing ample support to Barry Adamson's bass lines (The light pours out of me!) which have the same feel as that of the 83 - 85 Sisters gigs the 200 or so that were in the venue all saw a remarkable gig.
They play London, Manchester and Glasgow - (not sure if they are sold out) in the next few days - if you're going - you're in for a treat!

btw - have been reading some reviews - some great some not so. The not so focus more on the fact it all soounded so rehearsed, even down to the inbetween song banter and chit chat which was the same both nights.
