The Archive's number one contributor has sent back his latest collection of dispatches from the barrier. This is one of a group of 5 concerts recorded and being shared here by Mr GaryUK, and I'm extremely grateful for his work (and the travelling involved). As Editors fans we are lucky to have people out there documenting gigs for those of us not in attendance, and this blog always works best when I have co-conspirators involved. Thank you, sir.
I imagine that one of the problems with having an ever expanding back catalogue is selecting a running order that acknowledges the past and present best. The set will obviously lean towards the new record as that's the campaign we're on right now, but there are so many tunes to select from at this stage. Great from an audience perspective if you're a fan of the majority of Editors' music, but I would imagine it's a mild headache for the band. At this point it's a healthy mix of new and old, but there is always the possibility that the upcoming dates abroad could see some changes to the running order. And a recreation onstage of the Ocean of Night collaboration with La Goswell just has to happen somewhere, doesn't it? I think the only other time Tom sang with a female vocalist live was with Howling Bells back in August 2007, so it feels like the timing is right for a repeat.
For Europe and beyond, this is what's heading your way from next week. I hope you're ready to sing along and raise your hands...right...now...
