Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

It is not always about the extravaganza, the mighty venue, the plush carpet and the comfortable seats; it is rarely about that but some seem to believe that the experience of attending a gig is defined by the circumspect, the additions, the price tag or the illusion. It is a shame that the world has gone down the route of seeing things for their glitter and not for their honesty, for the very sense of real that comes over in an performance that capture the imagination and send your brain swimming into overdrive; all that glitters is not even palladium nickel, it is tarnished with that very illusion that makes it in the end cheap and bruising.
