Oh man. Oh maaaan. Pure Reason Revolution were so good. Before I forget, I’ll post the set list:

Les Malheurs
Apogee of My Love
Deus Ex Machina
The Bright Ambassadors of Morning
Victorious Cupid
The Twyncyn/Trembling Willows
Gloaming
— Encore —
In Aurélia
Borgens Vor
Voices In Winter/In the Realms of the Divine
Arrival/The Intention Craft

I will refrain from doing any fangirling/squealing, as it is a public blog and nobody needs to see it except my close friends, so that will remain for my personal blog away from S-R. So, onwards.

Jamie’s amp blew, and despite attempts to revive it, half-way through Apogee, Jon turns to Chloe and says “We’ll have to cut it.” Being in front row, directly in front of Jon, meant I was in ear shot, leading to panic, having kittens and mentally screaming “Cut what? CUT WHAT?! I spent £200 to be here!”. Chloe announces there is difficulties and will return in 10 minutes. During which time, the support band, The Domino State return and delivers an amp so the show can resume.

What can I say? New songs sound very promising, I enjoyed singing obnoxiously loud to the oldies. I did not, however, enjoy a camera being shoved in my face every now and then. It made me feel very uncomfortable and made me worry that I may get captured on film pulling some sort of :B face. I was a little disappointed Golden Clothes did not make an appearence as I love, love, LOVE that song. But, they did play In Aurélia, so it kept my inner fangirl happy, as did Deux Ex Machina (but considering it’s a new song, I’d be concerned if it wasn’t played.)

Sadly, about 20 minutes before the gig began, Butty developed a severe case of manflu, meaning that he was practically dying by the end, therefore meaning I didn’t get the chance to loiter around for long. However! I did get to meet Paul (the drummer), who was lovely and I got a chat and a kiss from. He was very flattered that I’d came all that way and spent so much to see them live, but I reassured him it was money well spent!

However, my efforts of seeing them at Cargo had paid off, as PRR are coming to Norwich! Yes! Sweet sweet karma! From my understanding, they have not been here in 5 years, and never as a headlining act! Yes! Roll on March 6th 2009, I say!

Obviously, it’s because Jon’s heartbroken he didn’t get to meet me. Obviously.
