It's an album release party after all

I guess they'll do two other songs as encore...

ah ah you were right! love that weird and darker version of Down By The Water. Sounds like Down By the Water meets Leah/Electric Light

nah, three songs

this version of meet ze monsta sucks theres no energy.

wow another one

Silence!

damn. i missed it!!

How bloody great was that!

Awesome concert. I think the band, the songs are just perfect.
Her voice is just unbelievable.
And God she's pretty.
My favourites On Battleship Hill, Written on The Forehead and England.
Down By the Water rocks in this arrangement.
I have to admit Meet Ze Monsta loses a bit in this "quieter" version.

the set list:

Let England Shake
The Words That Maketh Murder
All And Everyone
The Big Guns Called Me Back Again
Written On The Forehead
In The Dark Places
The Glorious Land
The Last Living Rose
England
Bitter Branches
Hanging In The Wire
On Battleship Hill
The Colour of the Earth

Encore:

Down By The Water
C'mon Billy
Meet Ze Monsta
Silence

Cool subdued concert! I missed her on the WC tour so it'll be nice to see low-key Polly in NYC.

Did anyone get an audio rip of that?

Loved it! Anyone got the technology to post audio and/or video files?

Great show. I loved Silence so much, I hope there will be more of WC. I get why Billy fits the new album - Billy can be a soldier now. The others I can't tie to LES, so far. I'll work on that. Polly looks beautiful. Mick needs to loosen his collar I think. And the Parisians just love John. Good for him.

All and Everyone and Written on the Forehead are great. But I think that Mick Harvey's ruined a little On the Battleship Hill. PJ was drowned by him. At least on the beginning. I hope that Angelene will be back, in full-time gig. Anyway, it was STUNNING. And Polly looks sooo good.

f**ck, i was watching it from Deezer and they cut it right before the encore, i thought it wouldn't be broadcast

it's like the ITD version of DBTW (if it had been on that album, this is what it would sound like).

I think it was great.
she often spoke that this song should be sang by many voices
