<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt is a bit difficult to describe this. On the one hand, the music was excellent. However, there simply wasn\u2019t enough of it! The set list, shown below, consisted of a mere 11 songs. The encore was just one song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Follow Me Down<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Since You’re Gone<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sweet Things<\/li>\n\n\n\n

You could forgive the paucity of material when they were supporting in 2011 after only a single album having been released. After all, they only formed in 2009. But another two years down the line, and after graduating to headline status… well, I\u2019m not so sure. Not being a hard rock band in the true sense the average length of each of their songs is around three minutes, so with that set list you\u2019re looking at little over half an hour\u2019s worth of music. And yet somehow they managed to stretch it to almost an hour and a half. And I said \u201calmost\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, they still haven\u2019t polished their performance, and the rawness that was evident when they supported Evanescence was still there. You see, support bands are usually crammed in at the front of the stage – in front of the already-installed equipment of the main act. For that reason you can forgive the cramped performances that result. But if you\u2019re the headline act yourself, then the audience expects a little more. There was a huge gap between each song which merely emphasised this unpolished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having said that, the audience was predominantly young and female, and I doubt that they knew what they should be expecting. The screams of \u201cwe love you Taylor\u201d probably illustrate that better than anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personally, I did enjoy the show. There just wasn\u2019t enough of it to go around, and you could see it being spread thinly on purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
