Fwightened Wabbit were vewy good! Kind of a downbeat-meets-inspirational mix of a deeply Scottish U2 crossed with Arcade Fire. Works very well live. I didn't know the music well but was carried along by the emotion of the crowd.

Couple of cool moments - one in particular when the singer came out for the first encore without the band to do a solo acoustic number (Derek can add in song names) and in a fit of artistic angst (after a couple of lines, followed by a "fuck this") stepped in front of the mike to perform the song without amplification. The sound was not surprisingly very muted until a point in the song where the vocals drop out and there is a melodic "ooh" over top of a couple of chord changes, and the entire crowd (sans me because I knew not) spontaneously sang the ooh, and beautifully I might add. Probably as many girls as guys, incidentally, in the crowd, despite the miserably Scottish nature of the music (so it's not just Derek who loves this stuff). Anyway, it was pretty powerful at the time in a hushed ampitheatre.

Also (highlight number 2) a great brawl among drunken 19-year old boys on the way out. First fight I've seen in a few years (I have to get out more).
