Recent NA tour reviews: warning concert spoilers!

Pretty good!! I've been looking for these, and had a tough time pulling them out. If anyone knows of anymore from their local papers - please add them. For example, still couldn't find any reviews from Atlanta papers.

Hmmm...this thread is called "gigs and tours" and that's what the reviews are about, and this is where people check to find out more information about their tours - no?

Kanye West glasses? Stockholme Synrome? Play On Baby?

These people are real professionals.

Not one to do anything standard, Bellamy even sang some lyrics sung through a bullhorn.

Noooooo, that's not standard FG at all.

These articles are hilarious. What is this "Play on Baby" they talk about? I must YouTube it.

the mcall one is my local paper...

With media consolidation (i.e., massive downsizing at newspapers...the money guys call it consolidation to give it a softer edge) going on in the states, many reporters covering beats have NO background in said beat whatsoever. I'm not surprised at the hugely amusing 'Play On Baby' given what I've experienced with news media the past few years. I'm a communications/pr type for a visual arts institution in the DC, Bmore, Philly region, and the few (very few) reporters covering specialized beats such as arts or music have no background in the subject...they're enthusiastic about their jobs (they're happy to have them) but we're having to completely educate regional arts reporters about what they're actually writing about (one arts reporter is a former restaurant reviewer, another is a former editor who hasn't written in years, etc.). Good laugh, and it's actually nice that three of the first tour cities' media outlets took the time to review the show. Glad the person liked the show, even if he was quite the newbie.

One of the comments on the first article: "I think they out-U2'ed U2." BRILLIANT.
