From jones coolibah:

We just got home from the Manchester gig (April 27) and I thought I would give you quicky report.

Honestly, compared to their November gig, the band looked tired and a bit bored for most of the night. During a few of the "stories" when Russell made a joke, the guys barely laughed or responded. It just didn't look like they were having fun ... understandably, it's been a long tour.

Russell purred through "Land of the Second Chance" and "Raewyn", I think he does them the best and the audience cheered the loudest after those two songs.. as well as Testify.

Darren Percival (sp) has an amazing voice and he's very funny, but some of his act is just weird. He made chicken noises at one point, I thought it was a bit hokey. And his "people" should stop bagging Russell, especially during the show. I can understand why they complained about the first song but they knew there were sound problems. 

It was a bit distracting and disrespectful.

Anyway, I'm glad I got to see the guys one last time and I did enjoy myself and the music and stories. Dean and Bones did a few solo's that were spectacular! And the new guy rocks too. Of course I LOVED listening to the Richard Harris story so yeah, it was well worth the drive.
