Merriweather Fan Review With Pictures - Fri 20th Jul
The Tweeter Center Camden NJ/Philadelphia
19 July 2001
J.O'B called me with this review.
The band was really rocking tonight. The set remained the same as it has done since they arrived in North America. The audience really appreciated the singles, and when Bryan announced "And now for something from Flesh + Blood " they went wild.
Phil Manzanera is obviously enjoying Ladytron, and gave his guitar a good thrashing. My Only Love has become the vehicle for showing off Sarah Brown's talent as she and Chris Spedding give it their all with excellent interplay between them. She still doesn't sing the high notes in Avalon, and it is Andy Mackay with a saxophone solo that leads Avalon straight into Dance Away which also has an extra instrumental part added.
Set List:
Re-make / Re-model, Street Life, Ladytron, While My Heart is Still Beating, Out of the Blue, A Song for Europe, My Only Love, Oh Yeah, Both Ends Burning, Tara, Avalon, Dance Away, Jealous Guy, Editions of You, Virginia Plain, Love is the Drug, Do the Strand, For Your Pleasure.
