Going to see them tonight on their flying lighthouse keepers tour. Anyone seen them this go around? What else are they playing?

There are setlists for all the shows at this excellent website -

Saw them in Amsterdam earlier this week. Unforgettable performance !
Oh yeah! Gog! What a tremendous pool of songs, they're mixing the sets up quite a bit. Dead excited now!
I would dearly love to see this, but of course no chance in the USA - hope to see some reviews here on how Plague comes off live AND with a three-piece.
Too bad they didn't do this at NEARfest, but at least they're doing it at all - quite a brave choice, really. I agree that the setlists look marvelous!

I'll be at the RNCM tonight too.
The audience recording from Amsterdam sounds interesting.
Saw the trio at Liverpool back in 2007, slow start, great finish.
Can't wait for this evening.
I wish they would have worked more classics like this into the NEARfest performance last year. That trio that ended the Amsterdam show would have been mind blowing.

ooohhh, that's a pinch of salt on my wound
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
The Manchester concert was breath-taking. Excellent acoustics at the RNCM where I sat, central, half-way back, and the PA was good quality, if a little too loud at times. The band were on great form, and the highlights for me were 'Scorched Earth' second song in, 'Meurglys', and the final masterpiece of 'Plague' before the encore. PH's voice was wonderful, which is always my personal highlight from years of seeing him solo/duo. I hope a recording is made from this tour or a radio broadcaster will oblige.
cool. Last year's show in NY was great.
Yes, seconded re RNCM. Absolutely stunning. Highlights for me were Time Starts Now, Scorched Earth, Plague and Gog. The sound was superb, PH was in great voice. It can never be too loud for me! Maybe the best time I've seen them, although the University gig a couple of years ago was wonderful too. What a band, still!
