Shame about the overall sound of the gig - the Olympia venue doesn't offer the best sound, and it was really evident here. When the crowd were cheering, it was impossible to hear the spoken segue between songs.
That said, the staging and lighting are FANTASTIC! Really simple effects that give a kinda of glitzy industrial feel to the whole gig. Musically, really, really fun with all the hits peppered throughout the show, and what feels like darker new material thrown in for good measure.
Jake and Anna look more like a partnership now, both in really good voice, and the on-stage backing singers really added some depth the the vocals.
Highly Recommended.
