Up next is another collection of ear candy from our #1 audio archivist, Mr GaryUK and that means you know it's gonna be good. The sound here is excellent, especially considering the slightly impersonal size of the venue and stage they occupied for this. Thanks once more for making your work available, Gary. It's very much appreciated ;)
Editors have acted as a support act for some fairly lofty company, including R.E.M., Muse, Manic Street Preachers and this little plucky beat collective from Scotland, Snow Patrol. The ties run deep between the two bands, as Tom has participated in live shows with Tired Pony which features Mr Lightbody from Snow Patrol. In true supergroup fashion, that band also includes Mr Peter Buck of the aforementioned R.E.M. and also Jacknife Lee who was the man at the mixing desk for An End Has a Start during the Grouse Lodge Sessions of 2007. Even more coincidentally, Muse, R.E.M. and Snow Patrol recorded albums at Grouse Lodge (Absolution, Accelerate and Eyes Open respectively). It's a small world after all....
This is essentially an Editors festival setlist, which means it's all about 11 of The Hits. With that in mind, it's worth mentioning that the original running order ran to 12 songs, with the missing tune being No Sound But The Wind which was dropped due to time constraints on the day. In a way, it's fitting that it was because the tempo doesn't get a chance to drop, and what we're left with is a totally crowd pleasing set of fast numbers. I hope life is good for you, as someone once said. Enjoy the music ;)
