[kj] NYC Reviews?

[Wessidetempest]

All right all right
Let me preface that we got to the venue about 20 minutes before they were supposed to go on. We had our ticket scenario to deal with (call ticketmaster before going if you do not have physical tickets from the may tour). 
The venue was 2/3 full if not more. And oh my gosh there were a plentiful amount of people under the age of 30. 
The fellow gatherers find us. We buy a steeply over priced drinks and get ready. 
Intro. Sound bite from Blade Runner with other blips and swirls. Then off to the races. 
Decent mix of new and old. Most of the standards. They did Eighties again which I was surprised. I figured it would be dumped again (great song great album). Absolute Dissent, this world hell, in excelsis, ESS and Ghosts of Ladbroke were represented. 

The band was good. A little off in a few spots. Youth was trying to have a laugh with the serious Geordie and Jaz. Jaz was talky but not too much. Big Paul was great. When he does backup vocals it really makes a difference. Reza did another great job of properly presenting the past sounds. 
Merchandise- better then the last tour for sure. Youth has a bunch of paintings. There is only one proper tour t-shirt (with dates). There are 3 other ts and one hoodie. All reasonably priced ($25-$45, going rate). 
I've seen them better I've seen them worse. Solid 8.5 out of 10. So no complaints. Seeing them again on Thursday in Pontiac.
