Arrived at the gig with a few friends and family members, we enjoyed the Hempolics who were supporting - they played a mix of reggae/hip-hop/soul and actually feature some of the members from Faithless (including Maxi himself), LSK, Harry Collier and Andy Treacey. I don't think they got the credit they deserved - I would deffo go and see these guys again - really good, in my opinion!!
As for Faithless, words can't describe how amazing these guys are live!! I've seen them about 8 or 9 times already and this was one of the best gigs of theirs i've been to. It's such a shame that this was their last gig in Scotland ever!! Although I have hope in my heart that they might decide to get back together again in the future. Their last album "The Dance" is fantastic - a real mixture of top dance tunes in line with Insomnia and God is a DJ - for instance "Not Going Home", Tweak Your Nipple", "Feelin Good"
When Maxi came on stage, just a few minutes after the other band members - the crowd went mental, as he was wearing the full kilt outfit and looked amazing!! They did a mixture of new and old songs which didn't disappoint!! I must say though, much credit goes to Sudha, the female percussionist, who's skills are amazing - if you get the chance, listen in particular to the track "Feelin Good" - the way she plays those drums is just out of this world!! It was a great crowd, great atmosphere and the venue (although old) was very "up close and personal" so I think everyone had a great view and a great time!! They ended as usual with Maxi whippin up the crowd to participate in "We Come 1" - I just didn't want it to end!!! An amazing end to an amazing night - Thank you Faithless, We will all miss you.
