I saw Mark Ronson & The Business Int'l at the Freeze Festival in October 2010 and was blown away by the originality and the eclectic mix of guests on the stage. This prompted me to look out for gig tickets for Ronson et all. When I saw they were doing a gig at the architectural wonder that is the Roundhouse in Camden I was excited to say the least and was filled with anticipation that amongst the special guests appearing we might get a glimpse of a newly rejuvenated and recently performing again Amy Winehouse - A lot to hope for I know, but nothing wrong with making the odd little wish now and again and she does live down the road after all!

I think in my head I'd built this up to be such an amazing gig, on past experience at Freeze and then in the wild hope of hearing a back on form Winehouse belting out Valerie - so it was always going to be a tough gig to live up to after the bar I'd unfairly set.

The warm up act, Wretch 32 were fairly mediocre and totally boring. Even their recently radio played 'Traktor' didn't hit the mark, totally missing the recognisable wailing sound as the chorus unfolds which is normally found in the polished studio version which was quite disappointing after enduring their other 'new tracks' - "new to all of you guys anyway" as the frontman Jermaine Scott kept reminding us before every song.

Jaymo and George didn't seem to turn up despite being billed as warming up. Some guy stood to one side of the stage for about fifteen minutes and played with a set of decks but the sound wasn't turned up very loud so I can't tell whether this was really either Jaymo or George looking embarrassed that his mate hadn't turned up!

On to the main event...

Ronson was good in himself. Consistent, looking dapper in his red suit and taking centre stage in that laid back but cool kind of way he does so well. However, I think that having so many guest performers 'from the last 30 years of music legends' joining him on stage slowed the fluidity of the set down somewhat. Which sadly left the whole thing lacking slightly as there was far too much chit chat gap filling while the next ego appeared on the stage - Killa Beez from Wu Tang a prime example. I felt embarrassed for the bloke when he misjudged the audience he was playing to and shouted "Hands up in the house if y'all smoke weed...." only to see maybe twenty or thirty people who uncomfortably and clearly out of pity put their hands up!

Ronson's promise of turning the Roundhouse "into a dirty nightclub" during his 15 minute DJ Set in the middle didn't quite come off as well as I was hoping I have to say. I was all set for a dance off and couldn't quite get going with what he dropped.

Simon Le Bon appeared on stage as did Cathy Dennis, the reliable MNDR and the outstanding Kyle Falconer performing the Bike Song. There were some other 'legends' but I either didn't hear who they were on introduction or just simply hadn't heard OF them in the first place.

Boy George was rightly well received by the audience and performed his classic 'Do you really want to hurt me?' with Simon Le Bon on the stage and rounded the evening off nicely with 'Somebody to Love' from the album Record Collection.

I feel that it didn't work was well as it did at Freeze having a rotating band and singers probably due to the sheer logistics of getting so many names onto the stage in time which let the gig down overall. A shame really...

Fantastic gig! Mark Ronson and crew were fab! Unfortunately the sound was a bit messed up from the start- which meant a brief interlude! But they came back on after 5 and rocked the place! loved the diversity of stuff! esp the mixing DJ set Mark did- including a Depeche track- my fave!!!! Great job!!

The gig was great even with the short stoppage to sort out a technical fault.
However Mark using the F word every time he spoke annoyed me ( even though I swear)
He needs to grow up and realise that swearing constantly is not cool.
The band were excellent and I would definately recommend them :)

Stick to what you know best is the title of this review.
Mark Ronson can DJ and mix other people's songs well, we all know that with his version album being a blast a few years ago.
But can he sing/dance/play drums? No.
The rest of his band seemed ok (bar the bass player who was off) but Mark Ronson can't even hold a note so what is he doing trying to sing and front a band?
I felt a bit ripped off by this mess of a gig where he didn't really know what he was doing, let alone his band!
Oh well fail but nice try mate. Now go back to doing what you do. (not presenting either)

Mark Ronson and the band put on a great performance - although there seemed to be difficulty with the sound at the start...would have assumed sounds were checked before the gig commenced. MR stopped playing for 4 minutes to rectify, which was better that they did this than to keep going. The songs played were excellent with a few extras which were not in their latest album (Valerie, Stop Me etc). Great atmosphere, not too packed. Gig lasted 90 mins - Wanted more!

Great entertainmet, unfortunately spoiled by the problems with the sound system, which affected our enjoyment of the evening.

We saw Mark Ronson & the Business International @ Manchester Academy earlier in the month so we know how good the band can be.

Great band, not their best show.

Security wouldn't allow me to take my camera into the show.

Started off well with only Ronson on stage doing a bit of scratching and mixing before he was joined by the rest of the business international. All were introduced throughout the set as a bit of a break between the tunes and some crowd interaction which was pretty good too. Can't remember the full set but stand out tracks were bang bang bang, somebody to love me and the encore of the bike song and valerie. 2 complaints would be set was a little short and there was no songs from here comes the fuzz but he was touring his new album so can't complain too much about that, although ooh wee could've been dropped in somewhere along the way and helped bulk up the set.

We got tickets for this late on and when it came to the day nearly didn't bother to go.

Very pleased the wife forced me into it.

Absolutely fantastic. Mark Ronson & The Business International were all superb. Cracking show with no messing about, just firing out quality song after quality song.

Mr Ronson is a mentalist in the best possible way ending with him jumping into the crowd and bringing out the Zutons for Valerie.

Definately going to be one we see again and again, couldn't recommend highly enough

I hate to throw out a 5 star rating on my first review, but I thought long and hard and to mark the gig down for anything would be harsh!

I bought tickets to this show on a whim, having just watch the video to 'Bang Bang Bang', and began to wonder if I had been so smart. I knew nothing of Mark as an artist really, although I knew some of his previous album as so much of it has been featured on TV shows and such. Its not even really my 'scene', if I had to classify myself. Ronson's Dance-pop sound is good, but I don't really listen to anything else in a similar category. I'm more of a rocker! Anyway, I asked some friends to come, but many dismissed it as they said his music was boring or they didn't like his persona.

Come gig day I was apprehensive, but that was all put to rest after what was perhaps the finest gig experience I have ever had! Ronson's band lineup was exciting for a start, pulling together a lot of fine musicians who are well known in their own right. Stuart Zender from Jamiroquai was on bass, and Alex Greenwald (lead singer from Phantom Planet) played keyboards, guitar, and did a lot of the vocals. The female vocals were taken on by the gorgeous Rose Elinor Dougall (formerly of The Pipettes - who opened the show with her band) and the crazy electro-musician MNDR (who provides the female vocal on 'Bang Bang Bang'). They were all assisted by capable drum and keyboard work from 2 musicians whose names, regrettably, I have forgotten. Also, many of Ronson's songs have featured hip-hop artists - and providing the rap vocal was American 'SpankRock'. And lest we forget the guest stars! Originally tabbed to appear was Boy George, who provides a vocal on the new album, but unfortunately he did not show. Although we were not disappointed - twice we were treated to cameos from The Kaiser Chiefs, for 'Oh My God' and 'Record Collection', as well as a 2-track appearance by 'The View' singer Kyle Falconer - as he sang 'The Bicycle Song' and 'Valerie'.

It has taken me so long to describe the lineup, but bear with me! On top of the surprising level of cohesion shown by the seemingly random assortment of musicians on stage, the set and costume was spot on too. Ronson clearly puts a lot of effort into creating an experience for the fan, which goes against his perceived image. Colour-coded instruments (all in red and white to match the stage and backwall setup), as well as uniform grey suits, black shirts and red socks for the male members of the band gave it all an air of confidence before they started playing. And when they did play, it was with a lot of style and stage presence. The sound was spot on, as you would expect given Ronson's production background, but the energy on stage came as a suprise. A good mix of new and old material, as well as timely introductions for guest musicians, and a short DJ set by Ronson at the halfway point kept the action hot and the pace varied. A lot of the songs had a lot more 'meat' to them too. The 'big band' sound from his previous album 'Version' was substitued for a heavier guitar-based sound, best seen on the heaviest re-imagining of 'God Put a Smile Upon your Face' that I believe I will ever hear!

And throughout it all, Mark and his band came across as very humble and appreciative. Too often I have been to gigs where you get the impression that the band find it all to be a chore. Not so this time, and it made for a great atmosphere with a well-behaved crowd, which was a pleasure to be a part of.

In summary, I would recommend you get to one of Ronson's shows and see for yourself. The level of enjoyment far surpassed my expectations, far more enjoyable than many of the shows I have attended this year, such as Example (who I had VERY high hopes for) or the The Mars Volta (who at the time were by far my favourite band!). Possibly the only other performance I have enjoyed so much in 2010 was Weezer's set at Leeds Festival, and if you were there you will know how MASSIVE that really was (I thought they were better than Blink 182 on the night, and that is saying something!). The only disappointment of the night was the no-show of Boy George, and on reflection I probably didn't miss him that much. I just hope that Mark Ronson can shake this 'arrogant' image that seems to follow him around, which I can safely say he does not deserve.

Saw Mark Ronson on Sunday at O2 in Leeds, he was brilliant.
Clearly a bit nervous at the beginning but still smashed it hard. His MC was MEGA.
Loved that he did a 5-10 min DJ set wouldnt mind if he'd done that all night long though. Loved that the Kaisers came on as well.
Left feeling totally elated and sweaty was well worth every penny total must see
