Thanks

[@54spatula]

Awesome. There’s nothing off of ‘Hot Cakes’ here!! 😡

[@rebeccahenney7662]

Thank you so much

[@stevennimmo4547]

My all time favourite live band.

[@StephenGraves]

@@54spatula Such an underrated album!

[@mjh5437]

It`s really good to see a band who still use dry ice to get that intimate hazy atmosphere gigs had when we could still smoke at them.

[@mattnottm8363]

It's amazing that the Darkness can still put on an amazing show in the face of such a lacklustre, impassive audience as this one. The band deserved better seeing as this was the first show of the tour.

[@twistedsparky06]

One of the very best live performances, loved it. I was there :-) A band people need to see live.

[@dominiccrimmings6925]

There's always one "I was there" comment LOL

[@Antmonkey]

The feed from the desk is absolutely impeccable; incredible sound engineering and an awesome show!

[@adamteague462]

I'm pretty impressed with the vocals..especially Justin could hit the notes in Christmas Time..really impressive stuff.

[@clairew137]

Saw them for the first time live in Norwich on 23rd November. Always wanted to go. Best night ever. Awesome band. Wish I was going again.

[@leejlogan]

My goodness, voice still sounds amazing "Pride of Scotland Take me back Envy of the sassenach!!!" 😍

[@iammoog]

SO happy for this upload. I got a liiiiitle bit too drunk (I forgot I rarely drink since having a kid and kinda went a bit nuts) and some bits are hazy. This'll help me fill the gaps.

[@CrueLoaf]

This is awesome. Thank you. How refreshing to see a whole show without the camera spinning all over the place and on different members. This is how we see a show after all. The whole stage. I missed them at BRIGHTON Dome this year. Saw them there on the last two tours. Was funny one gig when Justin spotted the girls from the Lush store. And by the way the greatest city isn’t Glasgow..it’s Brighton. 👍

[@selfy296]

seen them live twice incredible band

[@shadcovert1160]

Wow. Phenomenal live sound.

[@dal.890]

Vocals off but

[@dpabercrombie]

Their live sound is so heavy and tight. I love it! Come back to Toronto!

[@everestcomputer]

they are in march, i think. check their site for dates.

[@TheJaxsonjack]

Great Job to the person filming this! Just sold me on buying tickets to their Nashville show come April!

Thanks so much, Preston. The Darkness live after covid lockdown. Great!!!!

[@robbyray]

Thank you for the upload. So excited to hear them in 2021! Hope they come to the States next year.

[@alexgreenwood404]

Thanks for uploading this. Due to finances, I'm not able to see them this year. So it's good to see a full show

[@emanhacker]

They have really really grown as a live band. When they first came out their live performances were not great sounding but they really got better and now put on a badass show.

[@haga41cat]

Legend thank you so much. My friend and I were there also. Now I can share the experience with my kids that wanted to go. 🤟😎🤟

[@jefftucker201]

Thanks for posting this, awesome show!!! hope to see them live next year!

[@foofy14]

Seeing them on their Exeter date, not seen them in about 8 years, so excited!

So freaking awesome! I get goosebumps while watching ❤️

[@pratosaurusrex1128]

Thanks Preston! I was at the show too down the front. Great to capture the boys back after the lockdowns

[@kengreider7942]

Love to hear the harmonies from Jussy and the boys!! Sounding better than ever.

[@clairew137]

I love the way Justin deals with hecklers. 🤣

[@chrisjamesr77]

damn, they are sounding GOOD as fuck here!

[@ctcards2636]

Saw them when they first came to the states touring off their first album, was a killer show. Didnt know they were still around.

[@ksssssss]

This is the start of this album cycle’s world tour so, they’ll be playing 20 odd dates in the USA around Q2 2022 - get yourself some tickets!

[@Jambax]

Thanks for this. They were incredible in Exete too, set list was perfect.

GROWIN On Me is just as witty as a Ray Davies tune, & riffy a la You Really Got Me

Great band - cheers for sharing

[@StrawberryStationMusic]

It's Love Jim slaps live, love it. Glad Open Fire is in the setlist too!

[@aaroncuanto3469]

I just discoverd darkness again! And man Open Fire is such a good song, i love it!

[@tbeard5458]

We saw the guys later that weekend at Boscombe - what a show! The video doesn't do the sound and energy justice. Massive Wagons were an extraordinary surprise and were the perfect support. Wouldn't be surprised to see them out on their own soon!

[@forestboy52]

I was at the boscombe show and I thought that the sound was pretty poor especially for that venue and that band. It seemed like Dan's guitar just wasn't cutting through and overall it was pretty quiet. Bit disappointing as I worship the darkness. Wouldn't hesitate to see them again tho.

[@tbeard5458]

@@forestboy52 I know what you mean. I was down the front with the wife and it sounded great, though Dan's was a little on the quiet side as you say. The bass mix (bass guitar and kick drum) was crazy on Massive Wagons however, I was even wearing hearing protection and it was a bit much, and drowned out the rest of the band. They were great performers though, and like you I'd certainly love to see both bands again. Being the sound guy can't be an easy job when you have a a different venue every night, and a few thousand people to get a good mix to. Unless they were using the venue's own people, in which case there's not much excuse! :P

[@stef2432]

I like watching this video from time to time to refresh the memories and the sequence of songs, it’s just a bit sad the the images are so far away that they really can’t give justice to Justin’s physical performance together with some iconic moments Dan, Rufus and Frankie help to create. I suggest the front row experience, it’s all other perspective, you’ll bring overwhelming emotions home with you. But thanks for this anyway, it’s a lovely souvenir. I wish they could make a dvd or a video of the tour.

[@motomania3094]

Love these guys! Terrific video! Bravo !

Awesome. Thanks for uploading 👌

[@jimiinfinityvideo]

Great Setlist, good to see Black Shuck and Barbarian, Open Fire and a handfull of newbies in there. Shame the crowd had their feet nailed to the floor. The Barrowlands will show you how to party on the 9th!

[@ursathokchom8626]

😍😍🤩🤩💖💖💥💥💥 Just a description of my emotions.

[@davidnelson5381]

Crowd doesn't seem to be alive. Lots of folks standing really still. Freaking rock out, get wild, let loose and let it go! Bands tend to feed off that energy.

[@barrycuff4048]

Seen many times over the years and met them a few times 👌🇬🇧

[@shannonbiggers3312]

Thank you!

[@JacksonPM23]

Can they hurry up and come to the states..

[@sdcraig]

At Cambridge they were dressed up in Christmas inflatable costumes for Christmas Time. I think that's where they blew the budget! 😁

[@jorgech5640]

THANKS! :-)

[@sky.london]

Love the aspect ratio.

[@Christine16425]

I love England, I like this band 🤩much more energetic than in France, how lucky to see you without a mask, go to the concert , we can't. I was able to see them in 2020 in Paris just before closing. We live badly in France always mask and restriction in 2022 👎😡 (google translate)

[@alexanderbrandsen1915]

I love this!!! But can anyonr tell me wjat that intro music is ??? I love the melody and as it played I could hum along. I heard it somewhere l9ng ago...but what is it ?? Best wishes to all for 2022 x Sander from The Netherlands

My favorite band ever. The worst lighting show ever. The darkness rules… literally 🤘

Touring during an epidemic means keeping lighting and stage equipment to a minimum. Great job considering the environment and at least they got out in a tour bus and played. 👍

They said themselves this is the first gig for a long time!! It takes bands a few gigs to shake off the rust and get into gear! It’s. It their usual crazy flowing snow but it’s back to basics and they are playing good songs!
