TGTBTQ: Merrie Land Live Performances Thread

The only downside was after the Truce of Twilight when one punter decided to scream ' stop patronising us Damon'. He took it in his stride and invited the 'gentleman' to discuss it later if he wished.

Damon mentions the guy in this interview --> http://waystochangetheworld.libsyn.com/ ... -new-album

Thanks for that Lumaka, that was a really good listen. Interesting that Damon isn't adverse to hurling abuse at people too!

What a fantastic night that was. Damon and the band was on top form and the new sougs sounded brilliant live.

I'll post some photos on here tomorrow evening when I get back to Oxford.

Yep, was an amazing night. One of the best.
Incredible to be at a concert with Damon singing, and to be able to get in the front 3 rows so easily.
At a Gorillaz or Blur gig, it would be a solid 20 deep.
Really enjoyed the new album but the song quality just seemed to soar when the first album was played.
Was as if Merrie Land songs were all 7/10 but GBQ ones were 9 or 10. Might just be that GBQ is so much older and familiar.
The rhythmic and melodic power of Kingdom of Doom was really quite breathtaking. Ironically, the only GBQ song I don't like is the self-titled one. They finished with it which enabled me to make a swift getaway!

The Good, The Bad and The Queen will perform at the Heartland Festival at Egeskov Castle on the island of Funen in Denmark (May 30 - June 1, 2019)

Have the band played any crossover songs yet? I think a couple of Gorillaz songs would fit nicely into the set, without sounding anything like Gorillaz songs.

I think on a previous tour they might have played Melancholy Hill.

Yes I was there for that. Just wondering if they have done something similar this time around.

[Mark72]

Wow. I do hope they tour to other places outside of the UK. The new songs sounded excellent last night.

[Mark72]

Photos from last night. Not bad for a crap phone.
