I was at the last gig of the tour, Glasgow Armadillo - what a lucky girl I am!! Not only did they play a reasonably long set but we also, shock horror, got an encore.Around 2 hours total.

No support but they more than made up for it. Neal even did a lead vocal - awesome - he'll have gained some new fans from that I'm sure.

Ryan was in witty top form, he handled the hecklers (unusual for a Glasgow crowd - usually well behaved if rowdy!). For some reason, a few attention seekers felt the need to holler between songs. Ryan calmly assured them that all he heard was blah, blah, blah. At one point he insisted that he was busy & could they 'text him after the show', and 'shhh, my boss is coming'! Amusing. Very.

His reticence (last time I saw him) had gone, relaxed, witty & never faulted. Did I REALLY put him in my 'over rated' contribution. Wash my mouth out with soap & water!

Don't ask me for a set list, I'm pants at stuff like that. He really jams out which makes it hard for a fan once removed (other half is the fan who buys every release)like me to recognise stuff.

Still on a high, more than made up for the QOTSA gig I had tickets for that was cancelled on Thursday night! Josh who? Pah!
